It’s birthday time and this one is a combination of my favorite and a big day. K-actress Moon Geun Young celebrated her 30th birthday on May 6th, a Taurus who was born on this day in 1987. Moon Geun Young is ostensibly Hallyu drama’s first child actor star, setting the stage in the childhood portion of weepy fauxcest K-drama Autumn … Continue reading →
Bromance gets tons of attention in entertainment whether in real life or characters onscreen but less visible are the long lasting friendships that don’t have a quippy name. For well over a decade two stars have remained good friends in K-ent and doing so even without a dating scandal! Ever since playing the CP in Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy, … Continue reading →
I used to teasingly refer to Shin Se Kyung as the chinless wonder, thanks to her having a relatively weak chin and being pretty darn bland at acting. That all changed thanks to her sparkling and spot-on turn as The Girl Who Sees Smells, which sadly is a drama that has limited re-watch potential due to no fault of her … Continue reading →
Couples were not the focal point of the 2017 Baeksangs, whether onscreen pairings or real life couples, the event was mostly devoid of shippable moments for fans. An exception was seeing the Moonlight Drawn by Clouds couple Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung reunited on stage, and the picture above where she fixes his shirt is straight out of … Continue reading →
Far out rumors are the most fun for me because it’s basically a picking names out of two star jars and calling it dating. This week in K-ent is ending on the rumor of actress Park Shin Hye dating actor Choi Tae Joon, with netizens claiming reported sightings of them at an arboretum, at a convenience store, and reportedly even … Continue reading →
It’s impossible for everything to always be a success but on the hit-and-miss scale the career of Jeon Ji Hyun has been exceptionally successful to a mind-boggling degree. Setting aside her acting or box office and ratings successes, she’s been quite the trend setter for nearly two decades and it’s not hard to see why. Her beauty is both breathtaking … Continue reading →
News that top K-star dating couple Lee Min Ho and Suzy threw a party with close friends to celebrate their two year anniversary was a nice reminder that even the most high profile scrutinized celeb relationships can work. Not that those two are getting married but even hitting a two year anniversary is worth celebrating especially under the harsh light … Continue reading →
I’m getting depressing vibes from the first teaser for upcoming KBS sageuk Seven Days Queen (or Queen for Seven Days), but then again just the premise of a woman being queen for 7 days before removal from her position seems dire without a possible happy ending in sight. The titular queen refers to Joseon era Queen Dangyeon, married to King … Continue reading →
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. The majority of the beautiful and handsome once again went the safe route in what I now call the white/black/gold/sequin/lace rotation, it’s like bold patterns, edgy cuts, and innovative embroidery is the enemy of the … Continue reading →
I still remember two years ago when the Met Gala‘s theme was China: Through the Looking Glass and half of the fashionable C-stars were in Manhattan for the coveted event. For the 2017 Met Gala only actress Yang Mi and model Liu Wen walked the red carpet for an evening celebrating the groundbreaking fashion of famed Commes Des Garcon head … Continue reading →
Sudden wedding announcement and surprising pregnancy isn’t the only relationship bombshell this week in K-ent, on the same day Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yoon Hee took their relationship to the next level there was news that a new couple had been formed. The rumor started that 29 year old actress Oh Yeon Seo was dating 27 year old actor … Continue reading →
