A Koala's Playground Posted on September 17, 2020 by ockoalaSeptember 16, 2020
Two characters standing in a lively street.

Big news around K-actor Park Seo Joon this week and both are very positive. He’s revealed to be cameo-ing in the currently airing tvN drama Record of Youth, as he worked with the screenwriter in One Warm Word and also male lead of RoY Park Bo Gum guest starred in his most recent drama Itaewon Class. I feel like the … Continue reading →

Park Seo Joon Brings Together 70’s Fashion with Modern Style in Bazaar Korea September 2020 Edition

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2020 by ockoalaAugust 29, 2020
Two people in separate indoor settings.

I love the colors in Park Seo Joon‘s latest Bazaar Korea pictorial. For the September 2020 edition, which in the fashion world is always the largest most prestigious since it heralds the start of Fall Fashion, Park Seo Joon looks like he hopped a time machine back to the 1970’s in both outfits and decor. The predominately bold mustard and … Continue reading →

Park Seo Joon Parlays His Squeaky Clean Image as the Face of the 2020 South Korean Census

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 9, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 8, 2020
Two presenters at a census event.

I’m so glad his hair grew out for this PR event because the Itaewon Class buzz cut does not project the image of a nice hardworking office worker average joe type. That’s the exact image the South Korean government was going for when it selected Park Seo Joon along with former anchorwoman Park Sung Young as the spokespersons for the … Continue reading →

Netizens Have Fun with Top K-ent Actors and Idols with Face Swap App Turning into Beautiful Women

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 6, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 6, 2020
Four male celebrities posing for portraits.

Okay, the title may be a bit misleading because not every handsome/charming Korean actor and idol could be considered beautiful if they were turned into women versions. The popular face changing app that swaps genders is all the rage last month and while some stars have actual female dopplegangers, namely V from BTS looks just like Suzy and Cha Eun … Continue reading →

I did a happy clap when I saw the script reading pictures for IU and Park Seo Joon for Dream, their upcoming movie from the director of Extreme Jobs. Both are coming off highly successful last projects and collaborating with a top director, expectations are high but it’s worth getting excited for something assembled so well. June 2020 is right … Continue reading →

K-netizens Cast Votes for Their Pick for 2020 Lead Acting Drama Baeksang with Hyun Bin as Best Actor and Kim Hee Ae as Best Actress

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 16, 2020 by ockoalaMay 16, 2020

The Baeksang Awards doesn’t have a popularity award and for the most part it’s stayed relatively true to its determination of merit over buzz despite nearly all Korean entertainment awards devolving into a popularity contest to draw in viewers. It’s not immune to buzz but it does surprise still in picking left field winners. The 2020 ceremony is scheduled for … Continue reading →

The 2020 Baeksang Awards held on June 5, 2020 will take place without an audience for the first time in its history but at least it will take place and be broadcast. The nominations were released today on May 8th and there are a few surprises of who was in and not in but mostly I am really pleased! The … Continue reading →

Group of people gathered around young man.

I think the buzz level if equivalent here – Jeon Ji Hyun continues to collect her top K-drama male leads and Park Seo Joon is rolling off a career high K-drama success into a pairing with one of the walls of K-ent actresses. Just days after finishing Itaewon Class, Park Seo Joon has gotten an offer that matches his newfound … Continue reading →

Collage of emotional restaurant scenes and interactions.

There’s no denying it now, K-actor Park Seo Joon is officially an A-lister and totally deserving of it. His headlining jTBC drama Itaewon Class finished this Saturday with a ratings high 16.548% which is a series high though not a network high as Sky Castle retains both the jTBC crown and the cable networks crown.

Ratings Rise of jTBC Drama Itaewon Peters Out in Episodes 13-14 at Steady 13% Range

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 8, 2020 by ockoalaMarch 8, 2020
Group of friends enjoying time together.

Sky Castle can remain sky high for a good while longer as it’s perch on top of being the highest rated cable drama and highest rated jTBC drama won’t be challenged by underdog success story Itaewon Class. Itaewon is still one of the most successful cable dramas EVER and second highest rated on jTBC, even more impressive considering it’s comparatively … Continue reading →
