A Koala's Playground Posted on November 18, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 18, 2014

The dual red hot popularity of Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Min Ho came to a head this week and sent the K-ent media into a tizzy for showing up at the same place. Both attended the 2014 South Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards and made it a rare appearance at the same event. They even received the same … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun Replaced by Kim Woo Bin for One Chinese CF, C-media Freaks Out

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 12, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2014

The Chinese media and fans love Kim Soo Hyun to the point where his every up and down to left and right needs to be covered. Last week he was snapped incognito in a NYC subway on a personal holiday and it made the landing page of the C-ent news portals. The even bigger news surrounding Kim Soo Hyun last … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun Deliciously Dark and Intense for Fila Winter Down Campaign

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 8, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 8, 2014

No matter how much I like an entertainer, I’m never happy to see someone getting overexposed and/or overrated. The barometer is actual talent and potential versus how much the current public affection is elevating it to an unsustainable threshold. Case in point Kim Soo Hyun‘s meteroric rise, a career trajectory that is objectively an envy for any entertainer out there but … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 7, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 7, 2014

The nominees are out for the 2014 APAN Star Awards, yet another glittery awards ceremony and this one in particular is a recent new arrival on the awards scene in the last few years. It’s connected to the Daejeon Drama Festival and is limited to dramas that ran from November 1st 2013 through September 31, 2014 on all three major networks … Continue reading →

Korea’s Fashionable Best and Brightest Out for 2014 Style Icon Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 29, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 29, 2014

The 2014 Style Icon Awards took place in Seoul yesterday and I’ll admit this whole excuse for celebs to get dressed up would have bypassed my interest but for Kim Soo Hyun winning yet another award there. I can’t believe his year of winning every single award even managed to transcend over to style and fashion categories. This recently created … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun Feted as Best Actor in Asia at the Tokyo Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 24, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 24, 2014

The award circus of the absurd involving Kim Soo Hyun that has been going on all year adds another notch to it last week. Kim Soo Hyun was just awarded the Best Actor in Asia award at the Tokyo Drama Awards, a subsidiary event to the ongoing Tokyo International Film Festival and its related film awards. The Tokyo Drama Awards … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun Considering Multiple Personality K-drama Doctor Frankenstein

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 15, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 16, 2014

What did I say about 2015 being the year of the mental illness K-dramas? At this point I’m losing count of how many upcoming K-dramas have one main lead suffering from some sort of mental affliction. Let’s add another to the list, shall we? Kim Soo Hyun‘s agency has confirmed that he’s considering the upcoming K-drama Doctor Frankenstein. After Doctor … Continue reading →

C-media Having a Field Day with Noticeably Chubbier Kim Soo Hyun’s Appearance at Car Show

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 11, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2014

Kim Soo Hyun (along with Lee Min Ho) have been the two most prominent Korean entertainers dominating the C-language entertainment news publications for the better part of the year. It’s not just having successful hit dramas like You From Another Star and Heirs, they’ve also exponentially grown their fanbase in the Chinese speaking countries so there is a voracious appetite … Continue reading →

Marie Claire Partners with BIFF to Hand Out Asia Star Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 9, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 8, 2014

I made a joke after the most recent entertainment awards ceremony in Korea after Kim Soo Hyun walked away with yet another win. It’s starting to feel like awards exist solely to have an excuse to award something to Kim Soo Hyun, which may or may not be deserving (everyone can argue over that), but is now starting to reach … Continue reading →

Cross-border Hotties Joe Cheng, Hu Ge, and Kim Soo Hyun Together at the Seoul International Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 5, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 6, 2014

The 9th annual Seoul International Drama Awards was held this week and came across as rather random in timing since I’m used to Asian award ceremonies either at year end or beginning of the year. This award definitely tries to live up to the word international in its title and doles out prizes for acting and dramas outside of Korea. … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Joins Lee Min Ho and Kim Soo Hyun to Rep Chinese Menswear Brand Semir

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 9, 2014

Lee Jong Seok is vaulting to the Hallyu big leagues whether he’s ready to or not with the news that he’s joining previous endorsement models Lee Min Ho and Kim Soo Hyun in repping major Chinese male fashion brand Semir. The endorsement deal is only for Chinese markets so the addition of Lee Jong Seok confirms that the one-two punch … Continue reading →

The 50th Annual Baeksang Awards Wrap Up with Jeon Ji Hyun and Song Kang Ho Winning the Daesang

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 27, 2014 by ockoalaMay 27, 2014

The 50th annual Baeksang Art Awards concluded last night and actually managed to not render me wholly disappointed even with next to zero expectations. I can’t say the entire endeavor rewarded and feted the most deserving movies, dramas, actors, and actresses (since many of the best were not even nominated to begin with), but at least the final prizes went … Continue reading →

Movie Remake of Once a Thief in the Works with Huang Xiaoming, Michelle Chen, and Kim Soo Hyun

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2014 by ockoalaMay 14, 2014

Ugh, so much NO I don’t even know where to start. I’ll begin by saying my yearly “I miss you” to the much too talented for this world and dearly departed Leslie Cheung on the recent 11th anniversary of his passing. Because I still miss him so much, it feels like such a crock of bullshit to hear that HK … Continue reading →
