The curious case of Jang Geun Seok‘s entertainment career since his acting career high moment with 2009 K-drama You’re Beautiful is one where his diehard fans have it right and the casual fans are just off the mark because we don’t get him. He’s finally venturing back into K-ent to start off 2016 by being a producer and MC for the … Continue reading →
Looks like Jang Geun Seok has taken the first steps in his return to Korean entertainment, and even if the project doesn’t interest me I’ll still be keeping an eye on the reception for this foray. Jang Geun Seok will be participating in the CJ E&M music show Produce 101, mentoring 101 YG girl trainees during a grueling competition to … Continue reading →
I’m sorry to say – this is one reunion that I wish wasn’t documented with selfies and then shared with the world. I like both Jang Geun Seok and Jung Yong Hwa, especially their work together in cult favorite K-drama You’re Beautiful, but the passage of time has transformed the young men into current versions that are a bit disparate … Continue reading →
I love K-drama casting rumors and speculations, so much fun to muse over the possibilities, and also to wonder what happened if it didn’t pan out. Were the rumors off, or did something behind the scenes scuttle the signing. A leaked compilation of upcoming dramas and in discussion leads is making the rounds and generating lots of buzz. No way … Continue reading →
This is fantastic news, however much it still requires follow through of a yet unknown project. Actor-singer Jang Geun Seok has stated that he will be coming back as an actor next year in 2016. In what capacity is yet unknown, a drama would be my preference but a movie isn’t a bad choice if the K-netizens still haven’t quite … Continue reading →
It’s rare to see so many of K-actors I like at the same fashion event so this one is totally worth covering. Jang Geun Seok, Sung Joon, and Lee Jong Seok all attended the L’inoui show this weekend, armed with style and a man bag in hand. I have no idea what the brand is trying to say with the … Continue reading →
It’s hard to write updates on Jang Geun Seok‘s career when he isn’t active in Korea and isn’t active as an actor. The combination of both was what got me to become a fan, and in the ensuing years he’s chosen to concentrate his career in Japan, where he’s wildly popular, and also to focus on his singing. His lone … Continue reading →
I feel like a time machine whisked me back 5 years ago without me even realizing it. Despite another career hiccup earlier this year with his participation and then departure from the popular tvN variety show Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village, Jang Geun Seok doesn’t seem to be down in the least as he’s continued on with his singing … Continue reading →
I know Jang Geun Seok has his devoted fans who love the boy whatever he chooses to wear/do/say, but I for one wish that he would soon get tired of this phase he’s been in for the last five years or so and start building back up his serious actor resume. It’s been a rocky last few months for him, … Continue reading →
In a whiplash inducing about-turn, news just broke that Jang Geun Seok will henceforth NOT be in the cast of the upcoming tvN reality show Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village. The spin-off of the original concept show Three Meals a Day was supposed to air tomorrow Friday January 15th but will now be delayed a week until January 23rd … Continue reading →
Doing the variety show circuit in K-ent is par for the course when promoting dramas but most are just one episode guest starring gigs. Less frequent but more invaluable is when an actor or actress will get a popularity resurgence after becoming a variety show regular whether it’s of the talking, living together, or doing something difficult in a foreign … Continue reading →
I haven’t been following Jang Geuk Seok for the last few months since he doesn’t have an acting project on the horizon. His singing career is the very side of him I can’t stand so whenever he focuses on that is when I tune out for my sanity’s sake. His last acting gig was the unfortunately named and underrated Pretty … Continue reading →
The Sewol ferry sinking tragedy in South Korea is undoubtedly the center of news coverage and public concern in South Korea. Since last Wednesday, all networks have cancelled their variety show and drama broadcasts and that preemption extended into the weekend programs as well. Music events were also scuttled such as comeback showcases and fan meetings and anything that could … Continue reading →
