Cha … Continue reading →
My favorite response to the Lee Min Ho is dating Suzy reaction bonanza has got to be Kim Woo Bin professing his surprise along with the rest of us, and then adding that he won’t be hearing from Min Ho hyung for the time being. I love how Min Ho’s buddy wisely knows when to not bother a dude in love. … Continue reading →
