A Koala's Playground Posted on April 9, 2024 by ockoalaApril 10, 2024

This is an older bullying scandal at least in terms of the lightning speed of K-ent news cycles. In June of 2022 K-actor Nam Joo Hyuk was alleged to have bullied a high school classmate who claimed he was targeted for fight club type shenanigans and Nam Joo Hyuk was part of it. The timing couldn’t have been worse for … Continue reading →

Four characters in a dramatic crime scene.

So the promos for Disney+ drama Vigilante is all on the shoulders of the cast other than male lead Nam Joo Hyuk, who has enlisted in the army earlier this year. Never fear though because it’s a packed cast with Yoo Ji Tae, Lee Joon Hyuk, and Kim So Jin, adapted from the same name webtoon and arriving as the … Continue reading →

Nam Joo Hyuk and Jinyoung Looking Better than Ever in New Pictures From Military Service

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 13, 2023 by ockoalaOctober 14, 2023

Some male K-stars turn into big boys when they enter mandatory military service and others just surprise with how they turn army-core into a cosplay. Nam Joo Hyuk and Jinyoung are both serving and K-netizens are just swooning over how both look soooooo fine in service. I can’t disagree, Jinyoung still has his babyface but still projects service swagger but … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 24, 2023 by ockoalaAugust 24, 2023
Police officer walking in a hallway.

It’s probably a good a time to be a K-drama airing soon on Disney+ because the platform finally has the major hit its been looking for with superhero drama Moving. There are accolades aplenty but even more important there is non stop buzz about it, with two episodes a week even allowing time for the drama to keep growing more … Continue reading →

Profile of a young man in black and white.

K-actor Nam Joo Hyuk is currently in the military and his departure came at a comparatively messy time in his career following allegations that he was a school yard bully from one accuser last year.

Nam Joo Hyuk and Yoo Ji Tae Framed in Darkness in First Posters for Disney+ K-drama Vigilante

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 10, 2023 by ockoalaApril 10, 2023
Person in dark clothing with bloodied face.

In the two years since Disney+ ventured into financing or licensing its own exclusive K-dramas the platform hasn’t gotten the breakout it is likely looking for. There have been K-dramas well received and reviewed that aired solely on Disney+ but the reach still seems niche much like in the early days of a smaller cable network. But if ENA can … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 1, 2023 by ockoalaFebruary 2, 2023
Man in a dark suit thinking thoughtfully.

This is definitely a great time for K-actor Nam Joo Hyuk to enlist, what with a scandal last year on bullying allegations so a step away is best for his career long term. His agency has confirmed that he has applied for and been accepted to the military police unit which is still active service but not one of the … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2022 by ockoalaDecember 23, 2022
Smiling man in a black suit, seated.

This is certainly an ignominious list to be on but I don’t think anything mentioned here are deal breakers. K-ent beat reporters voted on the list of worst (most rude) stars on the press circuit this year in 2022 and there are some surprises. Topping the list with 20 votes is Ma Dong Seok, who didn’t do press for the … Continue reading →

Oooooh, shirt collision time! It’s been awhile since stars accidentally wore the same thing to an event as stylists and fashion houses are much more careful. Cha Eun Woo and Nam Joo Hyuk had a moment last night at a movie premiere thanks to one very leathery leather jacket. It was hella expensive and clearly the brand made more than … Continue reading →

Man in a dark suit thinking thoughtfully.

Oh what a difference a scandal makes, if he had enlisted in April 2022 there would have been such a groundswell of nostalgia and well-wishes but now it just feels like crickets. K-actor Nam Joo Hyuk will be heading off for his mandatory military service in December 2022 by year end as confirmed by his agency. He’s enlisting late as … Continue reading →

Young man in a gray jacket, focused expression.

I’m the type to get things done as early as possible especially things that are not fun but still need to get it over with. If I were a dude in South Korea I would enlist as early as possible but for entertainers it’s definitely a shot in the dark either way. Enlist early and start the arduous star road … Continue reading →
