A weepy romance movie starring So Ji Sub and Son Ye Jin, of course the VIP movie premiere for Be With You would be bursting at the seams with celebrity guest attendees.

Yoona and Minho Rock the Loud Fashion of Givenchy for Paris Fashion Show

Props to Korean idols Yoona and Minho for getting the full coordinating fashion memo while attending the Givenchy 2018 spring fashion show in Paris recently. The SM Entertainment label mates were a pretty pair despite the mostly unpretty outfits from the fashion house, complete with animal prints, sharp shoulder pads, velvet pants, and awkward height cowboy boots with side cutouts. … Continue reading →

Stylish K-idols Galore at the Seoul Prada Event

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 14, 2018 by ockoalaFebruary 13, 2018
Four women in stylish outfits at event.

It was a Korean idol bonanza of sorts at the Prada event in Seoul last week. I don’t even know the full names of many of them even if I recognize the faces thanks to the proliferation of idols all over K-ent. The first person I recognize is Yoona of SNSD, going for a funky look of tourist with a … Continue reading →

Multiple Yoona Styles on Display for Grazia China January 2018 Edition

Fashion magazine cover featuring a model.

I feel funny when I mention K-stars ages per the Korean system of adding one when they are born and then another every turn of the new year. Under that system singer-actress Yoona is now 29 in Korean age though she was born in 1990 and just 27 in the Western system. I mention her age because it’s crazy she’s … Continue reading →

The just held more elite Blue Dragon Awards this weekend in Seoul celebrated the cinematic achievements of South Korean cinema in 2017 and also memorialized the life and acting works of deceased actor Kim Joo Hyuk. There were basically three colors on the red carpet with black, white, and red, and no I don’t think it was due to somberness … Continue reading →

Black and White Dominate the Red Carpet at the 2017 Asia Artist Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 15, 2017 by ockoalaNovember 15, 2017
Smiling man holding stuffed animals at event.

The 2017 Asia Artist Awards went off without a hitch, other than the usual fashion boredom that is now part and parcel with every Korean red carpet. It’s like the ladies make no effort to be creative or challenging, or if they did make an effort and that’s the dress each chose then that’s even worse! The men get a … Continue reading →

Color Finally at Play for K-stars Attending VLTN Pop Up Shop Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 14, 2017 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2017
Three women in colorful outfits at event.

This was definitely one of the better fashion events for K-stars, not necessarily all the outfits but at least the attempt to break out of the vanilla norm. There was color and patterns and unique styles at the VLTN fashion pop-up shop event in Seoul last week. Green, red, pink, blue, and yellow all made appearances, along with patterns and … Continue reading →

This is a post solely to prep for this week’s Asia Artist Awards, thank to the star-studded line up that will be making an appearance either to present or to perform. On the acting stars alone it’s worth checking out – Lee Seung Gi will be making his first entertainment appearance since his military discharge two weeks ago, and also … Continue reading →

Stars Mostly Go Dark at the 2017 Elle Korea Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 9, 2017 by ockoalaNovember 8, 2017
Four women in stylish formal outfits.

I don’t recall a drearier event than last weekend’s 2017 Elle Korea Awards to celebrate K-star fashions. The pitch black logo screen is one of the culprits and then things got worse when most of the stars wore black or grey and then some looked rather grumpy or dour. The shining light of color was Kim Ji Won with a … Continue reading →

Safe and Boring K-star Fashion Trend Continues at 2017 Grand Bell Awards Red Carpet

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 25, 2017 by ockoalaOctober 25, 2017
Three women in elegant white dresses.

There was a whole lotta solid primary colors and not a whole lotta creativity at the fashion rundown of the 2017 Grand Bell Awards (Daejong). White was the predominate color of choice for the ladies gowns, and the non-white ones all went with black, blue, and even one red. I also noticed more than ever the glossy too much BB … Continue reading →

If there is just one fashion slayer on the red carpet for a Korean entertainment event then I’m a happy camper, even better if it happens to be one of my beloveds. The opening night of the 2017 Busan International Film Festival, the Korean equivalent of Cannes, went off without a hitch and with plenty of star power. It was … Continue reading →

Yoona Lovely in Three Fall Looks for September Issue of Allure Korea

Magazine cover featuring a young woman.

I wouldn’t chalk up the lackluster ratings of sageuk drama A King’s Love to leading lady Yoona but for me she definitely didn’t help bolster more reasons to keep watching. She hasn’t dispelled the general opinion that she’s not suited for period dramas whether Korean sageuk or Chinese wuxia, her lanky modern feminine beauty makes her look easy to break … Continue reading →
