But then he is also so so good as a CF model as evidenced by these simple yet striking pictures for menswear brand Olzen. He doesn’t have to do much other than … Continue reading →
All I can say is that Why Secretary Kim drama costars Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young‘s denial of last week’s dating gossip has a chance to backfire spectacularly on them if they turn out to have really been dating and lied directly about it. With news breaking after the drama wrapped last week that the two have been … Continue reading →
