The K-ent besties brigade and the general entertainment six degrees of separation took a star-studded turn this past week. First came the Baeksang Awards back stage selfie of Park Bo Gum hanging out with his sunbaes and huge Hallyu stars Song Joong Ki, Yoo Ah In, and Song Hye Kyo. Talk about palling around with the uber famous, though Park … Continue reading →
I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →
This Friday night was the 2016 Baeksang Arts Awards in Seoul, with the brightest Korean television and film stars of the year gathered for glitz, glamour and peer recognition. Acclaimed movie director Lee Joon Ik took home the Film side Daesang for directing The Throne and Dong Ju while the Daesang on the television side didn’t go to a person but … Continue reading →
Song Joong Ki‘s China domination continues with the inevitable but totally necessary appearance on top variety show Happy Camp. He’s not the first K-star to hit up Happy Camp in recent years and it’s been a great forum for Hallyu stars to add a different level of exposure. Descendants of the Sun fever and fervor clearly hasn’t dissipated in China … Continue reading →
A round of applause for Marie Claire Korea for standing out amidst the glut of insanely popular K-actor Song Joong Ki pictorials. I’ve loved all the various photo spread so far but Marie Claire has done something different, it’s managed to capture original flavor Song Joong Ki in his natural habitat and state. This is one down-to-earth warm boy and … Continue reading →
The Song Joong Ki pictorial parade continues unabated and this latest one comes courtesy of Bazaar China. He’s gorgeous in these pictures, no doubt, but there’s a bathtub one that is just like a bathtub one from his other recent pictorial, and therein shades in some of my worry that he’s becoming overexposed and prone to repeating himself inadvertently. He’s … Continue reading →
Those suffering from Song Joong Ki and/or Captain Yoo Shi Jin withdrawal, never fret as there is an upcoming dosage in sight! Song Joong Ki makes a return to Running Man, the show that put his name recognition on the map early on in his acting career, but unfortunately it’s not Korean Running Man but instead the Chinese counterpart now … Continue reading →
As top Korean drama screenwriter Kim Eun Sook preps for her next drama airing at the end of 2016, having lined up leading man Gong Yoo (squeeee!), it’s a good time as any to do a catalog of all the K-actors she’s made famous or made even more famous after doing one of her dramas. The most recent two being … Continue reading →
There is and will be no shortage of Song Joong Ki pictorials for the foreseeable future, but too much of a good thing can overwhelm the senses so I’m going to be selective about the things I post with him. It’ll be nice when he does a drama or starts filming his movie since substantive acting posts are way more fun … Continue reading →
It’s been nearly two weeks since the finale of Descendants of the Sun, and I’ll have to ask fans to chime in on whether the fervor has died down. Or maybe it was never all that hyped, as time will tell whether this drama will stack up well or burn brightly and fade quickly. One of the reasons I enjoyed … Continue reading →
Now this is what sweetly sincere and useful synergy. Top young actor stars Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young reunited last week after doing their hit movie A Werewolf Boy together four years ago in 2012 with Director Jo Sung Hee. This reunion was specifically for Director Jo, namely to support and cheer on his upcoming new movie Phantom … Continue reading →
After releasing the list of current most popular K-dramas in China, polling site Vlinkage is back with the Top 30 list of most popular Korean male and female stars, respectively. Some are long time regulars on any Korean star popularity list while others are a surprise to me but adds diversity to this list. On the male side, the most … Continue reading →
Now that Descendants of the Sun is over, Song Joong Ki‘s entertainment career is going to look a whole lot different in the near future. There is no word on his next drama but he has a movie lined up, and he’s certainly going to get his pick of roles and CFs. I still don’t think he projects a very … Continue reading →
