The list is subjective of course but I’m always curious to see if the populace views beauty how I may perceive it. The 2018 list of 30 Top Korean Beauties of All Time and I foresee debate over the top 2 position, from whether either lady deserves to be there and whether their ranking should be switched. The number 1 … Continue reading →
A new flagship store for a major fashion couture house is sure to get the stars in attendance and there were plenty of Taiwan entertainers at hand for the grand opening of the new Christian Dior boutique in Taipei. But it was Korean actress-singer Suzy that stole the limelight, proving yet again how big Hallyu is and how popular she … Continue reading →
The wheels are in motion for the upcoming pre-produced action K-drama Vagabond to either be a global hit or a worldwide bust. The production company Celltrion just signed a deal (complete with pictures, natch) with Sony to distribute the drama simultaneously in various countries when it airs in South Korea. It will air in the US and Japan for sure, … Continue reading →
There is really not much to comment on but since this dating news was rather surprising and buzzworthy it’s worth closing it out now. K-ent reported and later was confirmed by the agencies that Suzy and Lee Dong Wook have broken up after nearly four months of dating. My reaction is meh since I never thought they would or wouldn’t … Continue reading →
So it really is happening, Lee Seung Gi–Suzy 2.0 has started with filming kicking off for fully pre-produced action thriller drama Vagabond. Lee Seung Gi posted an update on his Instagram account with a picture of him from the recent fan meeting, and the announcement that filming for Vagabond has started on June 25th with poster shoots and is scheduled … Continue reading →
A publicity stunt begets another and then another as the Yang Ye Won photo scandal in May now turns squarely into collateral damage territory. Recall that Youtube star Yang Ye Won published a teary video about how naked pictures of her were published without her permission, naming the studio that took the pictures and asserting she was assaulted by men. … Continue reading →
The confirmation of Suzy for her next drama Vagabond reuniting with Lee Seung Gi is certainly going to generate plenty of buzz and mostly of the doubting kind. That’s fine even if I like both leads but really hated their first project together with Gu Family Book. It’s just so challenging to anticipate a drama with this nagging feeling that … Continue reading →
Get ready Lee Seung Gi and Suzy versin 2.0, and judging from the character synopsis the production team could even pretend that the modern leads are picking up from where Gu Family Book ended. GFB is, of course, the fantasy sageuk drama that first gave the world Seung Gi-Suzy pairing and then subsequently proved that it should never happen again. … Continue reading →
It’s probably best to say nothing and do nothing if one is a K-ent celebrity, at least until it’s clear what the truth is. Perhaps that’s turning a blind eye but jumping the gun just to support the underdog or fight for the rights of those weaker may cause blowback as Suzy is experiencing this week. Youtuber Yang Ye Won … Continue reading →
Taiwan is the place to be for K-ent singer-actors as one after another has in recent weeks gone there for fan meetings. There was Lee Seung Gi three weeks ago, Choi Si Won two weeks ago, and now Suzy last week. Suzy is quite popular there though perhaps not as insanely popular as she is in South Korea, a feat … Continue reading →
No. Noooooooooo! I like Suzy and I love Lee Seung Gi but I have rarely disliked any of my baes smooshed together like I hated Suzy and Seung Gi in Gu Family Book. It was so much no bueno I still flash back to the particular feeling of agony realizing that drama was going to be crap very early on. … Continue reading →
The fashion do’s and don’ts remain my favorite past time for awards shows, mostly because I can’t bother to care about winners that sometimes feel arbitrary or tied to popularity. The 2018 54th Annual Baeksang Arts Awards took place Thursday night on May 3rd in Seoul and the award winners were actually quite spot on picks for the most part. … Continue reading →
It’s official, K-actor Jung Hae In is the current It Boy of K-dramas and Suzy remains the current It Girl still. The voting has ended for the Popularity Award for this year’s Baeksang Arts Awards to be held on May 3, 2018. The winners have been announced as Jung Hae In in the actor category with 37% of all votes, … Continue reading →
