The upcoming K-drama Daebak Real Estate (Haunted Real Estate) is really catching my interest despite leads Jang Nara and Jung Yong Hwa neither being my faves. Her character feels like a cross between Oh Yeon Seo‘s character in Hwayugi and IU‘s character in Hotel Del Luna, an exorcist who is also a cold boss lady type. That plays against type … Continue reading →
I’m currently watching pleasantly along to KBS Wed-Thurs drama Hello? It’s Me! The drama is non-offensive and has moment of comedy and sweetness enough to keep me curious to see what happens next. It looks like the network will keep the same light theme with the next drama lined up Daebak Real Estate (The Chronicle of Haunted Real Estate). Leads … Continue reading →
Wow, I didn’t expect to actually feel positive vibes for this drama, but the title sounds cute and the pairing is strangely working for me on paper. KBS confirmed the K-drama Daebak Real Estate on its 2021 line up, with leads Jang Nara and Jung Yong Hwa and I’m not sure if it’s a noona-dongsaeng romance or onscreen they will … Continue reading →
I don’t know if it was out of sight out of mind but I legit forgot totally there was even Jung Yong Hwa and that he was in the military for the last two years and would be scheduled for discharge this year in 2019. But here we are and this weekend CNBLUE‘s lead singer Jung Yong Hwa finished his … Continue reading →
Hi-ho it’s off to the army two idols go as both Jung Yong Hwa of CNBLUE and G-Dragon of Big Bang enlisted for their mandatory military service in recent days. G-Dragon enlisted on February 27th last week and this week Jung Yong Hwa checked in on March 5th. G-Dragon’s Big Bang group mate Daesang will be enlisting next week on … Continue reading →
There was two big K-ent star military enlistment news today so I’m reporting it together. First up is the very expected news that cancer-recovering male actor-model Kim Woo Bin is officially exempt from military service. Like, d’uh. He spent the last 8 months undergoing chemo treatment for throat cancer and is currently in recovery, with his agency confirming the exemption … Continue reading →
Things went from bad to worse for the Jung Yong Hwa special admissions to graduate school scandal this week. A former FNC Entertainment employee has made public that Jung Yong Hwa applied to graduate school to delay his military service enlistment date, which was what everyone assumed since he has a thriving entertainment career that makes getting a graduate degree … Continue reading →
The speed at which this scandal broke, got confirmed, and now is getting addressed is one of the fastest such cycles yet. Idol-singer Jung Yong Hwa of CNBLUE was outed as the Idol A from the previous day news that was suspected of getting into a graduate program at Kyung Hee University thanks to preferential treatment since he didn’t even … Continue reading →
It’s like the Bad News Bears have rolled in at the turn of the new year and 2018 is off to a shitty start in entertainment industries, and beyond as well. Another scandal has hit K-ent this week, news that started off with an unidentified Idol A who was allegedly admitted to graduate school through preferential treatment, having skipped the … Continue reading →
When I first heard of the upcoming jTBC drama The Package it didn’t raise any eyebrows on the title but now with the KBS drama Manhole I can’t help sniggering over the possibility of The Package encountering the Manhole. All juvenile jokes aside, The Package was pre-filmed overseas in France on an extensive location shoot that plays central to the … Continue reading →
It’s always fun to see famous friends supporting each other and Park Shin Hye‘s connection with the boy group CNBLUE goes back a long ways. She did two dramas with Jung Yong Hwa in You’re Beautiful and Heartstrings, and most recently was in Heirs with Kang Min Hyuk. I’m sure she also knows Lee Jong Hyun and Lee Jung Shin … Continue reading →
Which of these four upcoming jTBC onscreen couplings are you looking forward to this most? For me it’s the Park-Park couple, as in Park Bo Young and Park Hyung Shik in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon airing in January 2017. Elle Korea has photographed these two cuties along with three other sets of jTBC drama leads in the upcoming November issue. … Continue reading →
It’s a mix bag of news for two members of Korean boy band CNBLUE, and likely overall a ding for the reputation of the involved members and/or the entire group as a whole. The Seoul authorities have been investigating Jung Yong Hwa for insider trading in the past week, and the investigation further expanded to include his fellow band member … Continue reading →
