A Koala's Playground Posted on May 22, 2017 by ockoalaMay 20, 2017
Magazine cover featuring man with tousled hair.

Every magazine has it’s unique demographic and K-actor Gong Yoo is exactly how I picture an Esquire man. He’s too rugged and offbeat at times to be full on GQ nor is he overly worked out and fit to personify the fitness rags. For the June 2017 issue of Esquire Korea, Gong Yoo is bathed in the overexposed light of … Continue reading →

The happy and jam packed Hong Kong fan meeting for Hallyu actor Gong Yoo went off without a hitch this weekend, unless you count his singularly unattractive salmon colored casual suit and sockless white tennis shoes combination.

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 →

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 →

Summer feels like its around the corner when I see the latest beach pictorial of Gong Yoo for the brand Discovery Expedition. The outdoor wear trend in South Korea doesn’t look like its slowing down in any way and beaches of Busan and Jejudo seem perfect to catch a wave. Sometimes a brand model doesn’t come across as the perfect … Continue reading →

I don’t know who to thank for this photoshoot, whether for brand Epigram or because the model is Gong Yoo who can do no wrong. All I know is that I am swooning and more swooning over this pictorial of Gong Yoo being, well, himself in all his boyish casual glory.

Goblin Leads Today Versus High School Days Picture

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 25, 2017 by ockoalaFebruary 24, 2017
Four headshots of young adults.

I really miss my Goblin cuties, with re-watching the drama not enough thrill compared to the excitement of live watching the drama for two months. Nothing so far in 2017 has hooked me, forget to the degree I was obsessed with Goblin, but a breather from intense drama viewing is needed to reset. The leads of Goblin are all headed … Continue reading →
