It’s a nice walk down memory land for me as a K-drama viewer and for actor Lee Min Ho as well, as last week he posted on his SNS pictures of him at a very easily recognizable place if you watched all his dramas. He was in front of Duke’s on the beach and of course that meant he was … Continue reading →
Okay, just picked myself off the floor, nothing to see here. I thought I had the potential K-drama OTP pairings all figured out but somehow this one never once crossed my mind. K-ent is reporting the Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin are in talks to star in the first ever K-drama rom-com set in space called Ask the … Continue reading →
The summer wave is over and now K-ent is turning its eyes to a trio of stalwart buzz makers. Whether each brings in actual ratings is only part of the picture, each also generates copious media coverage, online fan buzz, and of course plenty of CF opportunities. This late fall 2021 into early winter 2022 will see the K-drama return … Continue reading →
Now this is what I call an even juicier development, it was already fun dating news that Lee Min Ho and newbie actress and former idol Yeonwoo are dating but now we have a he said-she said story, or maybe everyone says except for him. His agency denied the dating news immediately (like so fast, legit), saying the two are … Continue reading →
Oh this is super juicy! Thank you K-ent for upping your mic drop to start the week, for awhile it looked like C-ent was having all the crazy fun. Dispatch is ending the month of August with a doozy of a breaking news item – it published a report that top Hallyu actor Lee Min Ho and newbie idol-actress Yeonwoo … Continue reading →
Fall is around the corner which means the fashion season is heating up including the coveted September issues of fashion magazines. K-actor Lee Min Ho is on the cover and pages of Esquire Korea, essaying the quintessential image of an modern Esquire man. Less straight laced than the GQ man but not as edgy as the Nylon man. Out are … Continue reading →
The Korean ginseng in a pack, kinda like a healthy medicinal version of Gogurt, has been ubiquitous in K-dramas in the last few years. It’s either there when a star is endorsing the product or when the brand buys ad space, either way it’s portrayed as a quick and easy nutritional and energy boost. It’s more believable to be consumed … Continue reading →
This week on June 22nd was Hallyu superstar actor Lee Min Ho‘s 34th birthday (35 in Korean years), and honestly he still looks like the same tall boyish cutie that stole my heart with his breakthrough drama 12 years ago in Boys Before Flowers. He was just 22 then, totally can’t believe how fast time flew! For his birthday, his … Continue reading →
Looks like filming is done for upcoming Apple+ drama adaptation of Korean-American novel Pachinko, seeing as Lee Min Ho is back in South Korea after a long Canadian location shoot. I’m sure the drama will be quality fare and his fans will definitely watch for him and hopefully it will continue to expand the reach of Korean entertainment around the … Continue reading →
The recently released 2021 KOCIS (The Korean Culture and Information Service) poll of 16 overseas countries and 8000 voters gathered who foreigners think is the most influential South Korean. This poll is not limited to entertainment stars and the top vote getter was South Korean president Moon Jae In. Only four K-ent stars made the list with BTS coming in … Continue reading →
Thanks to the expertise of K-netizens we have another fun “pick your fave” topic – height differential. K-drama casting probably doesn’t take it into account but as viewers it’s definitely something that adds or detracts from the watch experience. I don’t mind same height leads if they have great body language chemistry and sometimes a super big height difference crosses … Continue reading →
The Forbes 2021 ranking of Power Celebrity is out for South Korean entertainment and it includes not just actors and actresses but all celebrities including sports stars and MCs. This remains more a snapshot of who had popular/breakout/buzzyworthy projects in that year than the overall popularity and power status in the industry, though it is worth noting if star stays … Continue reading →
The full spring mood hasn’t arrived for me yet, the weather waffles between still cold late winter and muggy early summer from day to day. I want true spring, the soft light touch that says life is coming back to a gentle breezy state. Lee Min Ho really brings that in his latest CF pictorial for clothing brand AndZ. The … Continue reading →
