A Koala's Playground Posted on February 29, 2020 by ockoalaFebruary 28, 2020
Man in formal attire kneeling against gray background.

K-actor Yoo An In seems to be content staying in movies and it’s currently a new renaissance in Chungmuro thanks to the global level success of Parasite. Up next for Yoo Ah In is likely to be the supernatural thriller movie The Hell by the director of Train to Busan. It’s based on a webtoon by the author of Awl … Continue reading →

Song Hye Kyo and Yoo Ah In Incur K-netizen Flack After Posting Support for Wuhan During Coronavirus Outbreak

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 2, 2020 by ockoalaFebruary 2, 2020
Two young adults posing, smiling joyfully.

I think K-netizens are determined to find fault with Song Hye Kyo and Yoo Ah In no matter what they do. The two K-stars this week posted on their respective SNS accounts a supportive message for the city of Wuhan, China, a gif that transposes the word Wuhan into Human to show that love for the people of Wuhan is … Continue reading →

After Her Private Life and Kim Jae Wook, Park Min Young Reigns as the K-drama Female Lead Racking Up Successive Chemistry Wins

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 21, 2019 by ockoalaJune 20, 2019
Romantic moments between two characters.

I’m having a hard time thinking of another K-drama actress with as many romance dramas under belt as Park Min Young AND has also delivered performances that generated strong chemistry with her male lead(s). In some dramas she even sparks with the male lead and second male lead alike! Her hit rate is just too high to be a coincidence … Continue reading →

Kim Hee Sun, Yoo Ah In, Lee Jun Ki and Many More K-stars at W Korea Cancer Charity Event

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 26, 2018 by ockoalaOctober 26, 2018
Four stylish individuals at a red carpet event.

The fashions are less the center of attention when the purpose of an event is charitable rather than awards driven. Lots of big name K-celebs took time out to attend the W Korea annual cancer charity fundraiser in Seoul, with half in subdued looks for the more serious occasion and others trying on colorful and rather interesting looks. Kim Hee … Continue reading →

Yoo Ah In Poses for Grazia Magazine and His Movie Burning Selected as South Korea’s Oscar Entry

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 8, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Person posing stylishly in architectural setting.

K-actor Yoo Ah In may court or elicit controversy but as an actor he’s been fairly impeccable in role selection across movies and dramas. If his latest movie Burning breaks out next year it may be thanks to its selection by South Korea to represent the country as the entry for Best Foreign Language Picture award at the 2019 Oscars. … Continue reading →

C-ent Reports on Reported Sighting of Yoo Ah In at Famous Shanghai Gay Club

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 19, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 19, 2018
Collage of a man at events and nightlife.

This news is making mainstream Mandarin-language newspapers otherwise I wouldn’t report on it. The C-ent SNS sphere is lighting up over a sighting of K-actor Yoo Ah In this past Saturday spending all night partying at well known Shanghai gay club LG. There is a picture from that night and reportedly the man to the left of him is his … Continue reading →

Lee Chang Dong’s Movie Burning with Yoo Ah In and Steven Yuen Gets Highest Jury Grid Score in Cannes History

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 18, 2018 by ockoalaMay 18, 2018
Film festival attendees posing at Cannes.

It’s too bad K-netizens are so negative on all three leads of the movie Burning as this is truly an accomplishment that Korean should be basking in. The movie got a score on the jury grid of 3.8, which is the highest for all movies screened at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, but even more impressive is that the score … Continue reading →

Retrospective: Better Hair Yoo Ah In Rocks the Reeboks in Ad Campaign for the Footwear Brand

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 10, 2017 by ockoalaDecember 9, 2017
Young man jumping in casual outfit.

Seeing the Yoo Ah In cameo in Descendants of the Sun last year had me an a-ha moment which helped me connection a similarity that was eluding me. I just realized that DotS cutie pie Kim Min Seok who plays gangster turned soldier recruit Ki Bum resembles Yoo Ah In, a rounder face for sure but the lips and aura are very … Continue reading →

Yoo Ah In Exempt From Military Service After 5th Physical Examination

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 27, 2017 by ockoalaJune 27, 2017
Portrait of a man next to an X-ray.

I can totally see Yoo An In getting lifelong flack for this and ultimately South Korean netizens have very strong opinions about military service and it’s really beyond me to chime in. The 31 year old actor was planning to enlist this year, the tail end of a South Korean male’s enlistment period but one can’t fault a star for … Continue reading →

Star Duo Pictures from the 2017 Baeksang Arts Award Doubles the Cuteness

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 5, 2017 by ockoalaMay 5, 2017
Two people interacting at an event.

Couples were not the focal point of the 2017 Baeksangs, whether onscreen pairings or real life couples, the event was mostly devoid of shippable moments for fans. An exception was seeing the Moonlight Drawn by Clouds couple Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung reunited on stage, and the picture above where she fixes his shirt is straight out of … Continue reading →

Drama Posters and New Preview for Chicago Typewriter Emphasize the Acting Presence of Three Leads

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 3, 2017 by ockoalaApril 2, 2017
Historical drama poster featuring three characters.

It’s less than week away from the premiere of new tvN Fri-Sat night drama Chicago Typewriter and I’m not getting a good sense as to whether this drama will be a hit or not. I do get a positive strong vibe from the acting snippets seen on the teasers and previews. Yoo Ah In does dismissive arrogant hit writer perfectly … Continue reading →

Top Novelist Yoo Ah In Crosses Paths with Super Fan Im Soo Jung in Chicago Typewriter

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 24, 2017 by ockoalaMarch 24, 2017
Celebrities interacting with fans at an event.

Not following a drama means being slightly out of the loop on timing, which is why I’m surprised that tvN Fri-Sat drama Tomorrow With You is ending next week and Chicago Typewriter is premiering two weeks from Friday. I doubt CT will be trying to ape the massive ratings of tvN hits such as Goblin and the Reply series, but … Continue reading →

Chicago Typewriter Releases First Teasers of Yoo Ah In, Im Soo Jung, and Go Kyung Pyo

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 17, 2017 by ockoalaMarch 17, 2017
Four people in stylish outfits, engaging expressions.

The character teasers are out for upcoming tvN drama Chicago Typewriter, set in the modern times with a period element back to 1930’s era Japanese occupied Korea. It’ll be interesting to see how the screenwriter makes writing interesting much like how Jo In Sung’s mystery writer character in It’s Okay, It’s Love had his profession examined and interwoven into the … Continue reading →
