Never Aging Won Bin Returns to Spotlight in New CF Pictorial as K-netizens Continue to Wish for His Acting Return

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 2, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 3, 2021
Two portraits of a man with styled hair.

Any post about K-star Won Bin inevitably feels like deja vu, the same sentiments about how handsome he was/is and how he hasn’t acted in any project in so long. The only difference is how long, and it’s now been 11 years since the 2010 movie The Man From Nowhere (Ahjusshi) that was his last movie which was of course … Continue reading →

Shin Hyun Bin Already on the Rise in 2020 Opposite Won Bin in Maxim Coffee CF

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 30, 2021 by ockoalaAugust 30, 2021
Two people standing together in a greenhouse.

Sometimes the ascendance of a star can be telegraphed even earlier and seeing Shin Hyun Bin currently in Hospital Playlist 2, about to be in Person Who Looks Like You soon to premiere, and cast in The Youngest Son of the Chaebol and Strange, I recall seeing her on a CF and took me awhile to place that she was … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 17, 2021 by ockoalaApril 17, 2021
Graduation portrait of a smiling student.

I feel mentally exhausted from yet another scandal in K-ent so time for eye ball cleansing positive bleach! K-netizens gathered together a batch of college graduation era pictures for popular Hallyu and top stars which show (1) they were all gorgeous back then, and (2) dang they don’t age! Song Joong Ki was a competitive speed skater and in college … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 22, 2020 by ockoalaJune 23, 2020
Man in black polo shirt against mural.

Wow, this is like the most substantive news I’ve heard around Won Bin and any potential acting comeback project in 10 years. K-ent is reporting that Won Bin will not be making his return to the screen with the K-drama Immortal, a big budget 40 billion won affair that has all the hall marks of high profile even without his … Continue reading →

K-ent Spots Won Bin in the Wild Looking Handsome as Ever Filming CF

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 15, 2020 by ockoalaMay 14, 2020
Young man in mint green shirt outdoors.

A Won Bin sighting feels like a Big Foot sighting, and honestly no matter how much time passes he’s still just as frustratingly handsome as ever. If he was a crappy actor coasting on all of Korea approved good looks that would be one thing, but he’s a really really REALLY good actor. In 2009 during his last time actor … Continue reading →

K-stars Release Denials of Being Members of Shincheonji Church at the Center of South Korea’s Coronavirus Outbreak

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 6, 2020 by ockoalaMarch 5, 2020

This is totally a witch hunt if anyone thinks there is anything to dig into here. This week an anonymous netizen posted a list of Korean celebrities reportedly members of the cultish Shincheonji Church that is at the origin and center of the massive outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID19 in the country. Church members went to Wuhan in December … Continue reading →

Smoldering Won Bin Sells Out Winter Outerwear in Record Speed

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 9, 2018
Model in stylish winter outerwear, snowy background.

It takes just one picture to remind me wholly completely and 100% without reservation that K-actor Won Bin still has the IT factor that made him a top actor in South Korea with probably the least amount of acting projects on his resume. Won Bin is in a new CF for an outerwear brand modeling the SK favorite giant down … Continue reading →

Won Bin Poses to Perfection in New Menswear CF Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 2, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 31, 2018
Gentleman in gray sweater, seated pose.

If all Won Bin does now is be a CF model, there is nothing wrong with it other than a fans opinion he’s wasting all that acting talent. But then he is also so so good as a CF model as evidenced by these simple yet striking pictures for menswear brand Olzen. He doesn’t have to do much other than … Continue reading →

K-actor Won Bin Has an Epic Bad Hair Day at Fan Meeting Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 3, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 3, 2018
Person with curly hair holding a monitor.

Whenever I have a bad hair day or even see someone with a bad hair day, I will think “at least it wasn’t Won Bin on July 2nd!”. The legendary, somewhat mythical, K-actor made a rare appearance at a brand CF fan meeting and gave the media and his fans something to talk about. It wasn’t the usual chatter about … Continue reading →

K-netizens Frustrated with Won Bin’s Fuddy Hair and Lack of Acting Comeback Plans

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 3, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 3, 2017
Two individuals smiling, casual apparel, soft lighting.

It’s easy to render an opinion on celebrities because they are in the public eye and any behavior or change elicits a reaction from audiences. Sometimes not doing anything is tantamount to doing something and that’s the case of K-actor Won Bin and to a lesser degree his wife actress Lee Na Young. The couple have been married since 2015 … Continue reading →

Hyun Bin, Won Bin, and Kim Woo Bin Reportedly in Talks for K-movie

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2015 by ockoalaDecember 16, 2015
Three men posing thoughtfully in different outfits.

Casting rumor say whut? I swear this is not some one off rumor and is instead being reported by various media outlets, so it’s probably levels above fan service but still way too impossible to pull off for me to think it’ll end up happening, even if it’s really being discussed. The world might be getting three Bins for the … Continue reading →

School-aged Pictures of Popular Hallyu K-actors Show the Before and After

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 4, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 4, 2015
Four young men in formal school portraits.

For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →

Jang Dong Gun Tops the Korean Ladies Pick of 10 Most Handsome K-actors

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 26, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 26, 2015
Ten men ranked as popular stars.

It’s the ladies turn to voice their preferences and this top-10 list has quite a few overlaps with the recently released male audience picks. There is a wee distinction, which was likely used in asking the question, as the men were asked which male actor they found the coolest/manliest, while the women were asked which male actor they found the … Continue reading →
