The current It thing on Facebook is the 10 Year Challenge, to post a picture of yourself today versus 10 years ago on your first post when Facebook started. Some people have aged hard, some hardly at all, but looks are merely superficial to have much everyone has emotionally and mentally aged in a decade. For the K-actors we know … Continue reading →
K-netizens are a notoriously prickly lot but the one rare area of unanimity revolves around South Korea’s mandatory military service. As long as a guy dutifully and timely serves his two years then K-netizens will universally give him due praise and the corollary is even more vocal when it comes to Korean entertainers. A guy can be a bad actor … Continue reading →
Kisses and tears are two of the more memorable aspects of K-dramas because the early Hallyu dramas piled on romance and misery in equally measure to create the world of K-drama melodramas as we know it. Over the years the crying has gone from contrived parental disapproval and/or terminal illness to a plethora of reasons to milk those ducts dry. … Continue reading →
With all the recent attention on mandatory military enlistment in South Korea, and the stars or powerful folks who seek to delay or get out of it, I hope K-netizens are mollified to start the week off with new pictures of acknowledged boy-next-door Hallyu star Kim Soo Hyun doing his military service in his full capacity. Kim Soo Hyun enlisted … Continue reading →
Production companies of K-dramas shared with the media its very valid concern with upcoming year leading men casting due to the large exodus of military service bound this year in 2017. Starting with Lee Min Ho, the list of talented and famous K-drama leading men who have left for the military now include Joo Won, Kim Soo Hyun, Ji Chang … Continue reading →
I find the first pictures of Kim Soo Hyun in military service so adorkable I just have to share, he looks exactly as I pictured he would once he shaved his head and put on the standard army uniform alongside his fellow recruits. The picture above is totally South Korean military recruitment ready, with his pretty boy good looks given … Continue reading →
There’s so much bad news, or at least it feels that way, so I appreciate low key sincere life living from a celebrity who could be as ostentatious as he wants. Top Hallyu actor Kim Soo Hyun enlisted for his mandatory military service today, with no publicity as his agency stated beforehand. He posted an SNS update to his fans … Continue reading →
K-actor Kim Soo Hyun‘s success has both hard work but also a measure of luck in choosing the right projects at the right time. If luck comes and goes then announcing his impending military enlistment right now is probably a very smart choice. His luck appeared to run out this year with the biggest K-movie box office bomb in quite … Continue reading →
It’s impossible to hit a home run in every at bat but base hits are fine until the percentages start to decline precipitously. The stunning depths of the failure of thriller K-movie Real puts Kim Soo Hyun in the position of the first major egg on face moment in his career, which I think is totally fine and easy to … Continue reading →
I personally appreciate failures because everyone fails at some time and if learned properly then I get way more out of taking a wrong step than succeeding which at times may be due to good luck. There is no human being on earth who is successful in personal and professional all of the time and this week K-ent fans are … Continue reading →
The VIP movie premiere for Kim Soo Hyun‘s summer 2017 thriller movie Real is as much a hot mess as early critic reviews of his movie has been. Namely, a whole lotta raw material but presented all wrong.
