K-ent is reporting that upcoming gritty K-movie Bogota starring Song Joong Ki may not see the light of day. The cast and crew were in Bogota, Colombia on an extensive location shoot, makes sense for a movie title based on a specific location, when they had to cut short filming and quickly go back to South Korea in February doing … Continue reading →
Okay, I legit have sooooooo many thoughts on this. The first teaser trailer is out for sci-fi swashbuckling Korean film Space Sweepers (Korean title Victory Ship) and I already hate the stupid English title. It’s so hokey and I’m sure the movie is not intended as tongue-in-cheek entertainment so bad its bad Starship Troopers so the name could just stick … Continue reading →
K-actor Song Joong Ki is in quarantine in South Korea for two weeks after coming back from Colombia from the halting filming of movie Bogota. Not sure when the cast and crew can fly back there to resume filming or when that movie will see the light of day since a movie called Bogota really needs to be filmed there … Continue reading →
This is a smart and right decision but I’m surprised it took so long. The production team of South Korean thriller movie Bogota have been in, well, Bogota, Colombia for the past few weeks doing overseas filming. Male lead Song Joong Ki and supporting lead Lee Hee Joon are there among a large group of other actors and filming production … Continue reading →
First off, if your fave isn’t mentioned here don’t get your goat up. This is just a list of some stars being mentioned right now as making a financial contribution to the fight to contain the novel coronavirus Covid19 spread. South Korea went from one of the Asian countries with known cases to suddenly an explosion of coronavirus cases centered … Continue reading →
It’s too early to say whether this is a financial smart move but the production company behind the big budget fantasy sageuk Arthdal Chronicles has announced officially that season 2 of the series would indeed be made. Filming is scheduled to commence September of 2020 which means the drama won’t even air until 2021. With season dramas there at least … Continue reading →
The South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and its affiliate the Korean Culture and Information Service released the results of a recent 2019 South Korean National Image survey. It polled 8000 people from 16 countries including within South Korea and asked who came to mind that is representative of the country. Coming in first is President Moon Jae … Continue reading →
As TW-ent recently looked back on who it considers the reigning K-drama kings of the last decade, this week K-ent published an article looking forward at what it sees as the four highest profile Hallyu actor and projects in 2020. On the drama front it’s Lee Min Ho reuniting with hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook in The King: Eternal Sovereign … Continue reading →
Lists are fraught with disagreement but I don’t think I find anything objectionable about this list. TW-ent ranked the top Hallyu K-drama actors of the last decade (2010-2020) and selected four still very active and marketable male leads Hyun Bin, Kim Soo Hyun, Gong Yoo, and Song Joong Ki. I don’t think any of these four could be left off … Continue reading →
A new year and a new agency beginning for K-actor Song Joong Ki, who is probably relieved to put the tumultuous 2019 behind him. He didn’t renew his contract with longtime agency Blossom Entertainment last month and this weekend a new startup agency called History D&C announced that Song Joong Ki had signed with them. The agency is by veteran … Continue reading →
Normally C-ent speculation has been relegated to the basement of reputable reporting, normally with no basis and tons of wild leaps of conjecture from point A to Z. But then C-ent hit the biggest breakup of the year on the head a good 6 months earlier that Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki was having problems all startin from … Continue reading →
Well this is quite big news due to the actor in question. Song Joong Ki will reportedly not renew his expiring contract with Blossom Entertainment at month end and will be leaving his long time agency. No word on whether he’s joining another agency or setting up his own agency, I’d give it a toss up on which avenue he … Continue reading →
I feel like Song Joong Ki will always be the center of public and media scrutiny for the rest of his career. It’s hard to overcome both a hyped beyond belief shot into super stardom with Descendants of the Sun and subsequent even more high profile marriage and divorce with A-lister Song Hye Kyo. 2019 was a spectacularly crappy year … Continue reading →
