You know a drama is a once-a-generation type hit when I can still immediately remember the female lead character’s name off the top of my head and also throwback to a scene with her in a nanosecond. Top actress Jeon Ji Hyun joined the parade of K-stars in the recent week heading to Paris for fashion events, and she brought … Continue reading →
So this drama was announced last year with big excitement since it was the pairing up onscreen of two big Korean movie stars, one of whom hasn’t been in dramas for over two decades. I’m talking about the political intrigue K-drama Tempest (Korean title Polaris) starring Jeon Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won, with Korean-American actor John Cho also in … Continue reading →
I don’t recall seeing top actress Jeon Ji Hyun last month at the Paris fall fashion shows but she’s clearly still quite sought after as this week she landed a new couture gig. She’s the latest K-celeb to be named House Ambassador for Louis Vuitton, joining Lisa for the younger crowd and Gong Yoo repping the menswear. The brand released … Continue reading →
The phenomenon that is smacking shirts (Chinese colloquial slang for wearing the same outfit) has really crossed country and industry lines so much so that it’s a stark reminder that there aren’t that many fashion houses out there. If we take the top ten from France, Italy, and US, chances are there is only so many red carpet, performance, and … Continue reading →
I think Jeon Ji Hyun can still sell anything in South Korea so having her as your brand’s CF model is a no brainer. But popularity from new gen in the past hasn’t affected her but K-ent is nothing that two long running CF campaigns with Jeon Ji Hyun have recently switched to new models after over a decade or … Continue reading →
It’s undeniable that K-beauty has evolved but also morphed into a specific nearly identical look of the ideal – big eyes, shaved cheeks, high nose, white skin, etc. You know the look, and that meme with all the contestants for Miss Korea that one year actually being hard to distinguish. But the early Hallyu era (2000-2005) produced a spate of … Continue reading →
Well this is happening earlier than when pigs fly, but then again I’ll see the ink on the contract first before I even start getting excited. K-ent is reporting that A-list movie stars Jeon Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won are in talks for a K-drama Polaris, from the PD and screenwriter of the drama Little Women. All of this … Continue reading →
Perhaps K-actress Jeon Ji Hyun is the human embodiment of the classic Burberry trench, never changing but always in fashion. 2022 was a quiet year for her after Jirisan (Mount Jiri) in 2021 and earlier her Kingdom spinoff for Netflix in 2021 so it’s nice to see her kick off 2023 back in the limelight even if at a fashion … Continue reading →
It’s rare to see a group agency move in tandem but that’s what has happened this week with a quarter moving to a newly formed agency.

The 2022 is more than half over but some things don’t change. I feel like the folks on the top 10 lists in South Korea rarely change and this new aggregation of the top earners for 2022 so far is a collection of the same names. Making the list as the only solo female star is Jeon Ji Hyun at … Continue reading →

I legit forgot it was the final airing weekend of tvN Sat-Sun drama Jirisan. Normally such a high profile drama would be generating buzz and chatter heading into the finale but it was crickets because the ardent drama fans that would generate content have long since checked out. The final episode got 9.225% ratings which is higher than the 7%-8% … Continue reading →
This has been a see-saw weekend for tvN weekend drama Jirisan (Mount Jiri) so it’s once again hard to see where this drama is headed for the long run in terms of ratings and audience reception. This Sunday’s episode 4 brought in an increase to 9.384% ratings which isn’t as high as the breaking 10% episode 2 but the better … Continue reading →
