Nam Joo Hyuk Matches at Dior Event and Accepts K-drama School Nurse Ahn Eun Young Opposite Jung Yumi

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 15, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 13, 2019
Young man posing in stylish patterned shirt.

I think it’s adorkable how fashionably goofy K-actor Nam Joo Hyuk looks at the Christian Dior event in Seoul. The two shirts layered on top of one another hastily buttoned, the wide waisted chinos turning into too short cuffed hems, finished off with dad sneakers. It’s like he hand picked the most random individual items from Dior like a kid … Continue reading →

Time for an eyeball cleansing break courtesy of K-actor Kim Dong Wook in the first stills from upcoming MBCĀ drama Special Labor Inspector (Jo Jang Poong). Unfortunately Item is turning out to be rather disjointed so that’s a bummer but the first week of April the next Mon-Tues drama will be cutie patootie earnest to a fault Kim Dong Wook transforming … Continue reading →

Musician performing on stage with text messages.

Man, yet another singer/group I gotta delete off my playlist. In the last few years I’ve had to delete SS501, original DBSK, JYJ, and from this scandal Big Bang followed by FT Island, BEAST/Highlight, and now CNBLUE as well. Y’all can keep on listening and/or supporting oppa but goodness these text messages and crimes under investigation are vomit inducing levels … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 14, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 13, 2019
Person in a gray suit holding a microphone.

On one hand I am pleased he came clean but on the other hand oooof this one hurts because I really liked him and now he’s cancelled in my mind. Former Beast and now Highlight member Yong Jun Hyung, who I came across thanks to the K-drama Monstar years ago, was initially swept up in the Seungri/Jung Joon Young chatroom … Continue reading →

First Stills of Kim Jae Wook and Park Min Young in tvN Rom-com Her Private Life

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 13, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 13, 2019
Stylish duo posing in a bright setting.

I’m probably inordinately excited for tvN rom-com Her Private Life but honestly it’s been awhile since I’m so genuinely stoked. Male lead Kim Jae Wook has never done a rom-com leading man role, despite kinda stealing half the show of Marry Stayed Out All Night even when I was an OTP stan in that drama. Park Min Young is on … Continue reading →

Three men wearing casual white and black outfits

The Seungri scandal is like the horrible reverse of the gift that keeps on giving, or more aptly the pandora’s box that should be opened for the greater good of K-ent housecleaning but HOMG is it stomach roiling to read about. The latest bad acts stemming from Seungri’s noxious chatroom members Jung Joon Young and Choi Jung Hoon of FT … Continue reading →

Sidus Releases Stunning BTS Pictures of Glowing Kim Yoo Jung Doing CF Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 13, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 13, 2019
Portraits of a young woman in soft lighting.

K-actress Kim Yoo Jung personifies the Chinese saying “youth is the original wealth”, meaning that being young is itself a total asset. She’s gorgeous, don’t get me wrong, but she radiates and glows with this mesmerizing youthful aura. It likely comes from her photo shoots and pictorials not overly accessorized or made up, and she tends to rep brands that … Continue reading →

Couple in wedding attire with scenic background.

I still can’t believe I’m typing out 30 with respect to C-actress Liu Shi Shi because I first saw her in 2008 getting her first big break as the second female lead in the 2006 adaptation of Legend of the Condor Heroes. She filmed that drama when she was just 19 years old and here she is in 2019 turning … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 12, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 11, 2019
Couple posing next to a baby wearing bodysuit.

This news totally slipped my radar but a month late isn’t that bad especially to share some happy updates from China rather than the slew of bad news coming out of K-net. Chinese actor Yuan Hong announced the birth of their first born a baby boy with actress wife Zhang Xin Yi this past February 14th. It’s a Valentine’s Day … Continue reading →

Woman in beige suit beside man wearing stripes

Medical K-dramas are not as ubiquitous these last two years as it was in nearly a decade prior where a viewer couldn’t help but trip over at least one medical drama airing in nearly every time slot from all the networks. Now we have two coming on prime time with KBS premiering Doctor Prisoner this month, and now SBS is … Continue reading →

Man in a suit walking confidently.

K-pop group Big Bang is probably done with and its maknae member Seungri definitely is done with as he has announced his retirement from showbiz after the breadth of his current legal woes expanded once again. On the heels of running a club rife with violence and engaged in tax evasion by registering it as a restaurant, Seungri is now … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 11, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 10, 2019
Two people walking with shopping bags.

Just regular folks walking to walk is what the drama production team wants us to believeĀ  when we see Nana and Jang Ki Yong in the latest stills from Kill It. The drab concrete jungle background, the matching serviceable and practical long black coats, she’s even in sneakers to be as just a regular gal as possible. But it’s impossible … Continue reading →
