The K-ent love train keeps chugging along in 2013 as if making up for a few slow years of couple news. While the year’s biggest shocker of a couple remains the one who set off this domino effect on New Year’s day (namely Rain and Kim Tae Hee), let it be said that they probably just opened the door so … Continue reading →
