The C-slang for a celebrity sighting in real life is spotting in the wild, which in safari context isn’t really in the wild since the navel gazer went to the animal’s habitat. But for celebrities it really is in the wild because stars live in the real world just like us plebeians and one never knows when a sighting could … Continue reading →
I feel like Song Joong Ki has been in static hair mode for a long time, going from military hair cut after discharge and keeping it to film Descendants of the Sun. Afterwards I’m sure he’s grown his hair out more but nothing has been memorable until now. Oh what an errant front lock can do, making his boyish features … Continue reading →
I’m not surprised this casting didn’t come through but I actually think it’s a missed opportunity both ways. Song Joong Ki has confirmed to pass on 2018 Joseon era fantasy-tinged drama Kingdom by critically acclaimed screenwriter Kim Eun Hee, who wrote Signal, 3 Days, Phantom, and Sign. The drama will be produced by Netflix and aired exclusively on that streaming … Continue reading →
There are many instances for chance encounters but plane sightings are especially lucky for fans since everyone’s cooped up inside the same flying machine. A netizen, who must have been flying first or business class judging from the seats, had a really stupendous spotting of engaged Korean stars Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo together in a now rare … Continue reading →
Oh what a heavily promoted movie and a stunning engagement surprise can do for a career, but luckily the star in question has the acting chops to back up the resurgent popularity. The tally is out by the Korean Advertising Association and the most popular male CF stars for this August result shows Song Joong Ki back on top in … Continue reading →
I think it was a near impossibility to keep the dating relationship of Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo truly under wraps. The two did a great job and the mainstream media helped by not covering the rumors and fan sightings for over a year until it really got more overt and serious. As such the Song-Song couple got … Continue reading →
There may be a new standard in quality and quantity of star attendees to the VIP movie premiere of period war escape movie Battleship Island. I saw one of my faves Yoo Seung Ho trading his ruler period garb for comfy movie clothes to attend and clicking on the link turned up a smorgasbord Vegas feast of Korean stars going … Continue reading →
When a favorite star gets uber popular I always feel bittersweet, happy for the new level of success but wistful of the days when only select fans were crazed with affection. Since Descendants of the Sun premiered Song Joong Ki has rocketed to a new stratosphere where his popularity is currently still tied with the drama. The success or lack … Continue reading →
The entertainment world, and most of its denizens including fans, love a good positive news story as the unexpected element to consuming the pre-produced offerings of movies and dramas. The wedding announcement of top Korean stars Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki have taken over the media outlets in the short week since it broke, while the more substantive … Continue reading →
When I wrote in the last few months about the great Korean star wedding bonanza of 2017, kicked off in early February with Rain and Kim Tae Hee walking down the aisle, there was no substantive gossip about Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo getting married. Outside of die hard committed Song-Song shippers this was a far-fetched pipe dream … Continue reading →
Maybe there are fans of either Song Hye Kyo or Song Joong Ki that ship their beloved with other of their drama costars, but Song Joong Ki’s close and long lasting bromance friendship is for sure going to be affected once he ties the knot and has to answer to wifey first before buddies. One betrayed brother adorably announced his … Continue reading →
Two Korean mega stars getting married could mean the wedding of the decade in terms of star attendance and extravagance but for some reason I sense Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo will have an intensely private and relatively low key wedding. The Descendants of the Sun romantic leads have parlayed the filming of a hit drama that has … Continue reading →
Thank god today is July 4th and not April 1st otherwise I would take major convincing that this isn’t a prank. As America celebrates Independence Day, Korean entertainment will now celebrate what is arguably the biggest reel-to-real romance happy ending of the Hallyu era. Mega hit K-drama Descendants of the Sun costars Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo, following … Continue reading →
