Runway Cop Reveals Post-Makeover Kang Ji Hwan as Male Model Detective Cha

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 2, 2012 by ockoalaMay 1, 2012

Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri‘s upcoming fat cop-turned-undercover-male-model comedy movie Detective Cha has gotten its English movie title as Runway Cop. Not Runaway Cop, got it, so don’t go confusing the two. The movie comes out next week and ought to be lots of fun. I love it when a movie knows its got a ridiculous premise but then … Continue reading →

Side-Splitting First Movie Teaser for Detective Cha

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 23, 2012 by ockoalaMay 1, 2012

Bwhahaha, you might need to make sure there is nothing remotely spillable within your near vicinity when you watch the just released first teaser for Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri‘s upcoming movie Detective Cha. With a simple and truth-be-told already done before concept of an unattractive cop undergoing a makeover to go undercover (Miss. Congeniality, anyone?), the twist for … Continue reading →

First Look at the Overweight Unkempt Kang Ji Hwan as Detective Cha

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 22, 2012 by ockoalaMay 1, 2012

*Speechless shock* Wow, so there is a way to make the hot hot namja Kang Ji Hwan look absolutely abhorrent. Yes, it involves a padded belly, greasy stringy overly long hair, copious amounts of facial hair, and a general obliviousness that makes for good laughs not but much swooning. For the upcoming K-comedy movie Detective Cha, which reunited Kang Ji … Continue reading →

Tom Ford Selects Kang Ji Hwan as the First Korean Model for His Eye Wear Line

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 2, 2012 by ockoalaApril 2, 2012

In what might be a case of cinematic fiction mirroring real life, Kang Ji Hwan plays a cop pretending to be a male model in his upcoming movie Detective Cha, while he has recently become the first Korean model for the Tom Ford line of glasses. He really captures the Tom Ford aura of sexy sartorial splendor, in that distinctively … Continue reading →

Kang Ji Hwan Celebrates his 36th Birthday in Jeju with His Fans

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 25, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 23, 2012

My Kang Ji Hwan celebrated his 36th birthday this past week, electing to spend it with his fans in a birthday celebration-fan meeting combo held in Jeju. Dayum, my man sure is reverse aging and turning hotter as he grows older. I miss him onscreen so much, and his movie Detective Cha with Sung Yuri has completed filming already but … Continue reading →

Pictures from the Kang Ji Hwan Japanese Fanmeeting Special Short Movie

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 2, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 1, 2012

It feels like forever since I’ve seen Kang Ji Hwan in public. The filming for his upcoming movie Detective Cha with Sung Yuri has been super low key with barely any BTS goodies trickling out. He did hold a fan meeting in Japan, but other than that the man apparently wants to play peek-a-boo with me. Luckily, Ji Hwan’s fans … Continue reading →

Kang Ji Hwan Holds Fan Meeting in Japan

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 27, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 27, 2011

Kang Ji Hwan has been busy filming the upcoming movie Detective Cha with Sung Yuri, but this week he took time off to fly to Japan for his long-schedule fan meetings. He’s been laying low since finishing Lie to Me in early July, so I’m always happy to see new pictures of him. For his fan meeting, Ji Hwan prepared … Continue reading →

Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri Start Filming the Movie Detective Cha

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 20, 2011 by ockoalaOctober 20, 2011

Gosh, it’s so good to see Kang Ji Hwan back in business, the business of acting, of course. Even if the movie Detective Cha doesn’t premiere until next year, I just know there will be enough behind-the-scene pictures to whet my appetite. And the fact that his leading lady for this movie is Sung Yuri just makes me even happier. … Continue reading →

Sung Yuri Reunites with Kang Ji Hwan for the Movie Detective Cha

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2011 by ockoalaOctober 13, 2011

I had heard murmurings that Kang Ji Hwan‘s upcoming movie Detective Cha was going to co-star Kim Sarang, who I like but don’t exactly have this burning desire to see her act opposite him. Then today I literally got the news I’ve been waiting four freaking long years for – GilNok is back, baby! Yes, for all you Hong Gil … Continue reading →

Kang Ji Hwan and Uhm Tae Woong for the Fall Indian Summer Collection

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 4, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 4, 2011

If it seems like there has been a slew of clothing endorsements and/or fashion photo spreads lately, it’s because it’s September! Heralding the stampede towards Fall fashion and bringing 400 page Vogue issues that I can use as a bench press. For this season of Indian Summer menswear, Kang Ji Hwan is joined by Uhm Tae Woong as the face … Continue reading →

Kang Ji Hwan Turns into a Moody Prince

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 23, 2011 by ockoalaAugust 23, 2011

I love my Ji Hwan in any incarnation, be it his clean cut chaebol president in Lie to Me, or now his edgy fashion gunslinger look for L’Officiel Hommes. Kang Ji Hwan is currently preparing for his movie Tomorrow’s News to begin filming, so it’s nice to see him busy with endorsements during the downtime. I love how he owns … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 22, 2011 by ockoalaAugust 22, 2011

Leave it to LMHMG (see glossary for definition) to be the one to screw with my vacation schedule and drop a K-ent bombshell. Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young, having just starred in the well-received City Hunter, has just confirmed they are dating. On one hand, I am thrilled for them.

Lie to Me Releases Kang Ji Hwan and As One Version of “Lovin’ Ice-cream” for the Japan OST

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 31, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 31, 2011

It’s with a bittersweet feeling that I bring you the final released song from the Lie to Me OST – Kang Ji Hwan and As One‘s version of “Lovin’ Ice-cream”. This version is exclusively part of the Japanese OST for Lie to Me, which makes sense considering how insanely popular Kang Ji Hwan is over there. While I love hearing … Continue reading →
