Park Yong Ha embraces his inner polka-dotted geek
He may portray a curt, no-nonsense television PD in his role on On Air, but it’s geek chic for the fashion magazines — Park Yong Ha takes on round-rimmed glasses and a casual, just-rolled-out-of-bed image for April’s Elle issue. Tags: Park Yong-ha, photo shoots... More »

One Fine Day with Sung Yuri
Over the weekend, Sung Yuri held her first solo fanmeeting in her ten-year-long career (having pursued her acting after gaining her start as part of pop girl band Fin.K.L.). (An aside: Sung Yuri’s had a tough time gaining recognition as an actress, but I’ve been seeing articles floating around in recent days acknowledging that Hong... More »

Who Are You: Episode 8
My big question heading into Who Are You? was whether the handling of the body-possession of Seung Hyo would create weird Electra complex moments for Young In. Thus far I’m glad to report that I haven’t found the developing Young In–Seung Hyo relationship to be creepy; and in fact Episode 8 brings more opportunities for... More »

“And to think, when Shinhwa started we were only yea high!”
Shinhwa members at their 10th Anniversary Live in Seoul concert, March 30, for which they sold approximately 22,000 tickets to their two performances. The group celebrates while boasting some questionable styling choices — I count at least three ajummas and a gigolo in their midst. Meanwhile, group member Minwoo prays for another ten years: Tags:... More »

Who Are You: Episode 7
The rules are changing! The series is still funny and enjoyable, but now we get more into the mystery aspect. Plus, Seung Hyo’s hard, cold exterior starts softening, which continues through Episode 8. Aw. Perhaps proportionally, Yoon Kye Sang’s really growing on me too, not just as an actor but as fangirl eye candy. And... More »

On press conference day for the new SBS Friday drama, Kim Ji Hoon described that scene as being the hardest... More »

Hong Gil Dong: Behind-the-scenes special
Well, Hong Gil Dong is officially over. A “special” broadcast Thursday wrapped things up with the cast and director on the set of the series and ran through the usual dog and pony show — behind-the-scenes snippets, some outtakes, hosts asking the cast a bunch of soft questions about the experience. As a source of... More »

Not to get your hopes up, but…
…Won Bin (Taegukgi, Autumn Fairy Tale), may be, possibly, hopefully, making his long-awaited comeback! Finally! (Maybe.) He’s been out of the spotlight for nearly four years (two of which were due to his military service) and hasn’t seemed in a particular hurry to return to the spotlight after his last movie, 2004′s My Brother, or...

Hong Gil Dong: Episode 24 (Final)
Wow. Um, wow. The more I think about the ending of Hong Gil Dong, the more I like it. I’ve mentioned that the series was starting to feel repetitive in recent episodes, and I’d wondered how this episode would wrap everything up to satisfaction. Some people aren’t going to be happy, and I admit my... More »
