Not every celebrity selfie is equal, and the adage is probably the more the merrier as solo shots can come off a bit self-absorbed. That’s why the Running Man casts selfie with recent surprise guests Song Joong Ki, Jo In Sung, and Im Joo Hwan are the very definition of total wins. The giddiness is through the roof at the … Continue reading →
Looks like Song Joong Ki and Jo In Sung took their bromance with Kwang Soo to new levels prior to jetting off for an overseas vacation together. On the upcoming episode of Running Man, where Kwang Soo is a current cast member and Song Joong Ki a former cast member, Jo In Sung and Song Joong Ki will be guest … Continue reading →
It must be a slow news week when the personal travel plans of three K-stars made multiple front page news. This had a tinge of Dispatch catching surreptitious couples on an overseas jaunt, but without the salacious aside and definitely no homoerotic subtext in any of the articles I read. Best friends Jo In Sung, Song Joong Ki, and Kwang … Continue reading →
I feel like I’ve seen these pictures before, and then remembered that I already saw the lead up moments before these pictures were snapped. KBS released the script reading pictures of the big budget upcoming drama Descendants of the Sun, which isn’t as exciting to see since the media already published pictures of the four leads heading into KBS studios … Continue reading →
The train is leaving the station for upcoming K-drama Descendants of the Sun faster than Song Joong Ki changed out of his military fatigues. The cast gathered this week at KBS studios (featured prominently in currently airing KBS variety industry drama Producer) for the script reading, the arrival walk which normally isn’t covered by the media unless it involves a … Continue reading →
This could either be taken as super cute or super nervewracking for Song Joong Ki. The young man (not a boy any longer even if he still looks like one) was released from the army this past Monday morning and on hand was not just his devoted fans and the excited K-media. Hidden in the throngs of welcomers was none … Continue reading →
Some things need no preamble, and K-actor Song Joong Ki being released today after serving nearly two years of mandatory military service is one of those things that require no explanation for the excitement. Fans and throngs of K-media have been camped outside his military base since before dawn so Song Joong Ki’s exit walk was met with camera clicking … Continue reading →
The 2015 TV Report drama actors and actress power list is out, an annual survey the publication has done since 2013. The survey is compiled by the vote of the Korean drama industry’s top 30 PDs at the main three networks SBS, KBS, and MBC along with 10 producers at the top production companies, for a total vote by forty … Continue reading →
Count me in with the group that is not surprised Song Joong Ki landed the male lead role in Kim Eun Sook‘s big budget high profile upcoming drama Descendants of the Sun. I love him as an actor and a genuinely nice guy, but even then I’m still constantly taken aback at how popular and beloved he is in Korea. … Continue reading →
It’s much appreciated for KBS to provide a complete news update on the casting status of upcoming high profile prime time drama Descendants of the Sun. The drama didn’t just confirm the two leads today, it went ahead and confirmed the second leads as well. For many folks this news is both a relief that casting is done as well … Continue reading →
Being a variety regular on Running Man means Lee Kwang Soo meets a lot of famous Korean entertainers that come through the popular show. He’s famous in his own right now but over the years he has made some even more famous besties in the acting industry, two of whom made it out to attend the wedding of Kwang Soo’s … Continue reading →
There’s been production updates surrounding Kim Eun Sook‘s upcoming drama Descendants of the Sun that are important enough to share. For those interested in either the drama, or because of the discussed potential leads Song Joong Ki or Song Hye Kyo, not sure if the latest leaks are good news or bad. First off, the production is dead set on … Continue reading →
I always go into Kim Eun Sook-penned dramas with optimism. She’s written my favorite K-drama of all time so how can I begrudge her a few misses here and there. Now that the male lead is basically confirmed (99.9% at least) for her upcoming drama Descendants of the Sun, the optimism level has skyrocketed for me and is parked somewhere … Continue reading →
