After releasing the list of current most popular K-dramas in China, polling site Vlinkage is back with the Top 30 list of most popular Korean male and female stars, respectively.

Sadly it’s all stars I like so I couldn’t help but cringe and keep on clicking … Continue reading →

I don’t follow any brands, whatever the product it’s selling, so on occasion when I post about CFs it’s in relation to the spokesperson selected for that particular campaign who happens to be a star I like quite a lot.

January 13th is my boy Lee Seung Gi‘s birthday, which makes the first birthday of a major Korean star in this new year 2016, and with it comes the reminder that it’s starting to go down to the wire for the end of the year 86ers and the huge batch of 87ers. Yoo Ah In, born in October of 86, … Continue reading →
This weekend in Beijing was the 7th Annual TV Drama Awards, showcasing the splashiest and buzziest Mainland Chinese dramas of 2015. I would say best of the bunch but so many award categories seem to be based on popularity even in the description alone. There wasn’t a Best Drama category but ten C-dramas from 2015 was honored for being the … Continue reading →
It’s so cute when celebrities recognize their own lookalikes, it saves fans the trouble of doing double takes. Last week Sistar‘s Bora ran into K-actress Han Chae Young at an event and the two took a selfie asking their fans if they could pass as sisters. The answer is “totally”, and their not the only Korean entertains to have lookalikes … Continue reading →
Consider me impressed by Ji Chang Wook’s career expansion into Mainland China. It’s certainly following in similar footsteps of other popular Hallyu stars, heading there to do dramas, singing, or model after a hit K-drama or movie opens the floodgates of recognition. In Ji Chang Wook’s case it’s all due to the one-two punch of Empress Ki and Healer, but … Continue reading →

Idol singers moving into acting, whether in limited capacity or a full time career switch, isn’t newsworthy since it’s been going on for so long and continues unabated. The converse is rarer but appears to be happening more often as the line blurs and all fans want is more of their favorite stars in whatever medium. Two well known Hallyu … Continue reading →
For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →
