This is a news so out of left field the left fielder is still in the locker room getting suited up. Hallyu superstar actor Kim Soo Hyun has announced that he’s turning in his application to become a professional bowler. Unlike other professional sports, my understanding is that professional bowling isn’t a full time occupation from both a training and … Continue reading →
Things are quite in Kim Soo Hyun land, which is exactly up my alley since I worried he was burning too bright for the previous two years thanks to You From Another Star and Producers. The downside is that he’s not as ubiquitous so it’s harder to get updates on him, and for someone so insanely successful as a leading … Continue reading →
It was just in Vegas for the weekend and it was sooooooo hot eggs were frying on the concrete as I walked. On the flip side is Hallyu superstar Kim Soo Hyun wearing a winter parka filming the upcoming CF for the sportwear brand Beanpole. This is one of the longest lasting collaborations I can remember, Kim Soo Hyun has repped Beanpole … Continue reading →
Korean buzz site Moolmang has been doing entertainment internet power rankings for awhile and the latest July issue is interesting enough as a current pulse taking snapshot to merit a post. The site ranks popularity/buzz based on the number of searches, number of listed about, number of listed on, number of vote obtained, hits on profile page, and hits on … Continue reading →
It’s a welcomed long time no see to spot Hallyu superstar Kim Soo Hyun out and about last week at the VIP premiere for blockbuster K-movie Train to Busan. He was soooooo over exposed in 2014 with You From Another Star, still too much everywhere in 2015 thanks to Producer, and now finally in a nice spot in 2016 with … Continue reading →
While everyone is talking about current and upcoming dramas with the current Hallyu actors and actresses, mega Hallyu star Kim Soo Hyun has been laying low relative to his massive pan-Asia fame in order to film dark thriller movie Real. The movie has wrapped filming and heads into post-production for a 2017 air date in the theaters. It’s not clear … Continue reading →
I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →
There’s news from the You From Another Star front unrelated to how Descendants of the Sun recently broke many of YFAS’s ratings records. It’s been two years since the monumentally popular drama and since then there have been murmurs of sequels, spin-offs, and remakes, none of which have happened. Last year the news cycle lit up with reports that the … Continue reading →
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. Some are long time regulars on any Korean star popularity list while others are a surprise to me but adds diversity to this list. On the male side, the most … Continue reading →
A recent Korean ladies magazine poll at the end of March is an interesting peek into how the domestic female viewers feel about how the hot Korean actors the English-speaking drama world fangirls over. It’s not the same list, that’s for sure, if I were to take a poll there are certain names that would dominate even if he hasn’t … Continue reading →
It’s only a matter of time before the C-media started comparing Kim Soo Hyun and Song Joong Ki, thanks to the success of Descendants of the Sun in Korea and China the drama is securely regarded as the next You From Another Star. The degree of stickiness of DotS has yet to be seen since YFAS was huge for more … Continue reading →
Brand awareness and strength is a critical assessment element in the marketing industry, and stars have long since joined in the pool of companies and products which consumers connect with. The Korean advertising association released a data set this week naming the most valuable individual entertainment brands across the spectrum of industries and the results are mostly as expected. The … 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. With that said, following an industry like K-ent for so many years, some things linger in the periphery of the … Continue reading →
