Park Min Young is Fall Fashion Ready at Incheon Airport

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 1, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Fashionable woman in dark coat and sunglasses.

Strutting like a girl boss through the airport is such a modernized K-drama image which was perfectly pulled off by Park Min Young this week leaving Incheon to fly overseas. She went from summer airport attire two weeks ago to full fall fashion ready this time, going for black miniskirt with white t-shirt, very sensible and comfy, topped with an … Continue reading →

Jo In Sung Becomes Instagram Worthy in All Peach Suit at Movie Premiere for The Great Battle

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 1, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Celebrities taking selfies with fans at event.

I legit guffawed out loud when I laid eyes on K-actor Jo In Sung‘s outfit at the movie premiere for his period film The Great Battle. He went exactly opposite to his grizzled war general role in the film and delivered a true flower boy visual that proves he’s still got it even at 38 years old. Jo In Sung … Continue reading →

Gong Hyo Jin’s Smile Event Brighter and Bolder Than Her Risque Dior Outfit at Seoul Event

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 31, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Woman in red top with long, wavy hair.

I gotta give it to K-actress and fashion provocateur Gong Hyo Jin for delivering another eye-catching and discussion-worthy outfit debut. The avant garde fashion risk taker attended the Christian Dior store event in Seoul wearing the brand house from including accessories and she could not have been more over-the-top. Luckily it was in a good way because this is the … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi Does Indoor Cool for Black Yak Outdoor Sportswear

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 31, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Model showcasing winter collection in dramatic scenes.

The outdoor brand Black Yak has used Lee Seung Gi as its brand model for multiple years now and the latest season pictorial is out for the fall/winter 2018 campaign. I find it ironic that that outdoor brand is doing an indoor photo shoot that is stylized to resemble the outdoors, if the outdoors had artfully perched wooden stumps on … Continue reading →

Player with Song Seung Heon and Krystal Release Striking Posters and Cheeky Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 31, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Four people posing in a garage setting.

I so love the mood transition from beyond dark to knowingly cheeky for Song Seung Heon in his drama selection. Black was a riveting drama but took a piece of my drama heart with it watching so much misery, but now I get to have some getaway heist fun with Song Seung Heon in his upcoming OCN drama Player. The … Continue reading →

Ahn Hyo Seob Declines Male Lead Role in Rom-com Love Alarm with Kim So Hyun

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 30, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Two characters interacting, one playing violin.

OMG nooooooooo. Like, seriously nooooooooo. Why baby boi why, this would be such a perfect drama to cut your teeth on being the shining star of the show instead of the shiny perfect second male lead. Rising young actor Ahn Hyo Seob has declined the male lead offer to star opposite Kim So Hyun in K-drama Love Alarm adapted from … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 30, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Three individuals in stylish outfits.

The lifting of the China Hallyu ban may have or will soon happen as C-ent is reporting on some recent activity. Park Seo Joon attended a CF event in China and Chanyeol is scheduled to do one, whereas for the last two years there have been very few and far between media appearances by K-stars in China.

Chen Qiao En Posts Selfie Revealing Alarming Hair Gap

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 30, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Two portraits of a woman outdoors.

TW-actress Chen Qiao En has been working diligently and laying low since starting off the 2018 new year on the wrong side of the law with a drunk driving arrest in Taipei. One hopes she’s learned that lesson and at least there was no one hurt. She’s always been one of the handful of Taiwan drama actresses that always looks … Continue reading →

C-actress Tang Yan Gets Reputation of Making Drama Second Female Lead Famous After Working With Her

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Outdoor candid and smiling portrait duo

Man, it’s tough to be an A-list actress in China, even occupying the female lead role for nearly 10 years and still Tang Yan (Tiffany Tan) gets flack for what is admitting a pretty legit phenomenal but one that I don’t think can be attributed to her doing something actively to promote it. The C-media is covering what C-netizens have … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Woman in black shirt and cap, walking.

K-actress Song Hye Kyo makes waves wherever she goes and her recent airport appearance this week does double duty. It confirms this age-less beauty looks glowing and radiant even with minimal makeup, dressed casually in black oversized shirt with jean shorts combo, and with a baseball cap covering her hair. It’s what’s underneath the baseball cap that got a lot … Continue reading →

Who Are K-dramas Best Ugly Criers – Past, Present, and Future

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Crying young man in traditional attire.

Kisses and tears are two of the more memorable aspects of K-dramas because the early Hallyu dramas piled on romance and misery in equally measure to create the world of K-drama melodramas as we know it. Over the years the crying has gone from contrived parental disapproval and/or terminal illness to a plethora of reasons to milk those ducts dry. … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye and Park Seo Joon Don’t Bring the Park-Park Magic at Ryo Hair Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 28, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 28, 2018
Man in gray suit, woman in burgundy dress

It’s rare for the pairing up of two popular K-ent stars to end up so visually flat in attire and energy, especially this being a Park-Park pairing that follows on the heels of a recent very popular Park-Park onscreen coupling. Park Seo Joon and Park Shin Hye were the two very big-name attendees at the Ryo hair care brand event … Continue reading →
