This is about as high wattage as it gets for movie premieres in South Korea. The upcoming Joseon-era sageuk movie Gwanghae: The Man Who Became King (English title Masquerade) starring Lee Byung Hun, Han Hyo Joo, and Ryu Seung Ryong held its star-stubbed movie premiere in Seoul this week which was attended by a veritable who’s who of actors young … Continue reading →
Smoldery leading man Go Soo is officially off the singles market, not that any of us mere mortals ever had a chance with him. The wedding was closed to the media, which is not unusual since the bride is not in the entertainment industry. Go Soo came out to speak to the reporters before the ceremony, and the rest of … Continue reading →
Actors from an entertainment agency gathering for a magazine photo shoot might be the new hot thing in Korea. Dropping the same month as the King Kong folks posed for High Cut Magazine, the gang from BH Entertainment shot a charity pictorial for InStyle Korea.

SBS released a ton of official promotional materials yesterday, including posters, character stills, and … Continue reading →
How many days until 49 Days?
