Gosh darn it, I hope Park Seo Joon signed his contract for The Marvels (Captain Marvel 2) with full knowledge of what his character was going to look like because good golly is this epic levels of bad. It may even out-ugly all his ugly hair looks in youth sageuk Hwarang a few years ago. K-netizens are not happy that … Continue reading →
I know Park Seo Joon and IU filmed the movie Dream 3 years ago but seeing them this week at the movie press conference gives off the impression they met for the first time. Okay, maybe second time, but the whole vibe is also like two researchers attending a meeting for their new doctorial paper discussion, the energy is on … Continue reading →
Now I kinda understand why this movie didn’t come out late last year before the 2022 World Cup since it’s a soccer feel good movie and having that additional excitement during the time period would have been good. Upcoming sports movie Dream with Park Seo Joon and IU despite the dream (pun intended) pairing seems rather bland in the first … Continue reading →
I legit remember when this pairing and movie was announced and it seemed so exciting and then like 3 years passed by! The movie Dream was announced in 2020, took two years to film through mid-2022, and has barely any promos. Not sure why the radio silence with two top stars Park Seo Joon and IU in the lead and … Continue reading →
I know Park Seo Joon has no choice as a Chanel brand ambassador than to wear what is given him but goodness this is one hot mess of a look on one normally very hot man. This week was the Chanel fashion show in Paris and K-actor Park Seo Joon added his presence to the list of famous face attendees … Continue reading →
2022 was a pretty good year for K-dramas but I didn’t pay as much attention to the box office. It was fully business as usual in South Korea with the audiences being able to go to the theater and no occupancy limitations. There are a bunch of big names coming in with high profile movies in 2023 and there was … Continue reading →
I think drama and movie successes are just the appetizers for stars to rake in the endorsement deals where the real bucks are made. It makes sense as ultimately entertainment is a commodity and viewers are also customers on the other end. This year in 2023 the male K-actor with the most endorsement deals is Kim Soo Hyun with 15, … Continue reading →
It’s the 30th anniversary next month in November 2022 for Elle Korea and it feels like a later entry for the magazine into South Korea than expected. It started sharing and influencing fashion in the early 90’s but missed the fast growth transition years of the 80’s. But in the intervening three decades South Korea is now not just a … Continue reading →
The previous name for this K-drama was Gyeongsang Creature which makes it look like a monster flick but has since been changed to K Project. Not sure if that is a code name but either way this drama remains relatively tight lipped on what to expect. A period drama set during the Japanese occupation era, Park Seo Joon and Han … Continue reading →
So the order of the GIFs and pictures are in the ranking of how frequently K-netizens discuss wanting these two to work together. I can’t disagree with most dream pairings especially when the perfectly curated GIF delivers all the feels in mere seconds of a stitched together scene. To date, the most common wish is for Hyun Bin and Jeon … Continue reading →
Okay, take this with the usual C-ent gossip grain of salt but it’s being covered in the C-media so I’ll share it. A Chinese netizen claims to have run into Park Seo Joon recently in England, which sounds plausible since he’s been filming overseas there. She claims she ran into him in a luxury store on High Street but the … Continue reading →
I remember a former EA who worked in Hollywood production explaining the rise of reality shows around two decades around in the early aughts. It was cheaper to produce was the bottom line, and such is the case that reality and variety has exploded around the world and taken over streaming on a personal level where anyone can broadcast. But … Continue reading →
The Chinese title for K-drama Fight My Way is The Third Rate Route, which refers to the path taken by losers. But for male lead Park Seo Joon‘s most recent pictorial in Bazaar Taiwan, the magazine titled that he was taking The First Rate Route which is absolutely fitting. Even as new male leads are cemented in K-drama land with … Continue reading →
