Popularity doesn’t always mean money and oftentimes I hear of popular K-idols who lament being penny poor because they haven’t been paid due to contract or income complications. The same goes in the television world where ratings matters less than what the product sold for and how much ad revenue it brought in. The greater the delta the better for … Continue reading →
I know K-ent is on a wedding roll in 2017 to more than make up for the lack of nuptials in 2016, but one of the upcoming weddings is strange and disconcerting beyond belief. I’m talking about scandal-plagued former topi idol-actor Park Yoochun, who’s rise to the top of the past decade has all but completely erased with a prostitution … Continue reading →
The top Korean actors and actresses were out in force on a Wednesday night in Seoul but the fashion gods were once again in absentia.

This wedding announcement takes the cake this year for greatest initial shock followed by a collective shoulder shrug. Former drama costars turned real life couple Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yoon Hee have announced that they are legally married and are expecting a baby later this year. The shock of the announcement comes from the couple only dating for three … Continue reading →
Capitalism means that as long as there is a buyer then there is a seller and the transaction fine as long as it’s legal. When it comes to disgraced stars I always think as long as he or she has fans then there is a market for their wares. The last two years have not been easy for singer-actor Kim … Continue reading →
I’m getting similar vibes for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner as I did for recently concluding jTBC drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. Peppy posters with a cute female lead and a harangued male lead wrapped in pretty colorful poster wrappings. It’s billed as a rom-com but the central plot has a serial killer danger looming, which was an … Continue reading →
K-ent is making up for last year’s comparably lack of sizzle on the wedding front by already hitting Taiwan’s star wedding output from last year and we’re only halfway through 2017. This past weekend announcers Oh Sang Jin and Kim So Young got married in a star-studded Seoul hotel wedding, while way down South actress Yoon Jin Seo tied the … Continue reading →

This weekend was the star-studded wedding of famous Korean annoucing and MC couple Oh Sang Jin and Kim So Young, both super photogenic and quite popular in the industry judging by the parade of famous faces and names in attendance.

Space may be the final frontier but I have yet to see Asian entertainment really produce space themes shows or movies. This year may be going into uncharted territory with a space genre K-drama in the works, and on the C-ent side actress Liu Shi Shi represented in London this weekend for the Omega Watch “Lost in Space” event with … Continue reading →
