This is one of the smaller film festivals in Korea but the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BiFan) actually celebrated it’s 19th year holding the event this week. Not bad for a film festival held in one of the smaller cities in South Korea and with a smaller niche of fantasy movies such as supernatural, horror, and mystery. BiFan still … Continue reading →
I happened to be on Twitter last night mere moments after Lee Min Ho posted one of his infrequent tweets. I almost didn’t glance at it since celebrity tweets are usually bland anodyne life or project updates, but I’m soooooo glad I paused to take a look because I fairly spit out the drink I just took a sip from.

Casting is firming up for upcoming big-budget Chinese-Korean joint produced movie Bounty Hunter, but beyond the two popular male leads I’m not sure anything else is needed to lure in the eyeballs. This movie made the news last week for being Hallyu superstar Lee Min Ho‘s comeback project for 2015, and may or may not be his last work prior … Continue reading →

The 2015 Baeksang Art Awards was held this week and the attendees and awards hand out was as expected so there wasn’t much to write about. Same goes with the fashion, no one really stood out in either extreme, just a lot of good looking people dressing fashionably appropriate for the occasion. I did love the 360 degree camera booth … Continue reading →
The 2015 Baeksang Art Awards was this week and the funniest bit was hands down courtesy of JYP (Park Jin Young) and Lee Min Ho. I don’t know if it was scripted by both, or one side knew but the other party was clueless, whatever led up to it the result was glorious. JYP was performing a set during the awards, … Continue reading →
Being a celebrity means personal relationships can and usually do impact the professional side of life. The K-pundits have been keeping a close eye on the star power of recently confirmed K-ent celebrity couple Lee Min Ho and Suzy to see what happens in the wake of a bombshell new relationship.

The 51st Baeksang Art Awards nominations came out last Friday and was by and large pretty decent on the selection of quality performances and works. A few questionable selections snuck in but nothing so egregious as to offend sensibilities. Aside from the nominees selected by the voting committee, there are four popularity awards up for grabs in each of the … Continue reading →

It’s nice of these potential movie casting news to drop on the same week so I can bundle it into one post. I’ve noticed fans of one or both actors tend to bring their names up in each other’s posts so this ought to make things easier. First up is Kim Soo Hyun, recently named honorary ambassador for Incheon airport, … Continue reading →
Dispatch just earned its readership quota for the entire year with this globe trotting dating news break. Part of me thinks the two lovebirds in question wanted or didn’t care that they would be caught since this whole thing went down so high profile and high risk. Hallyu superstars Lee Min Ho and Suzy have just become the biggest confirmed … Continue reading →
