Lots and lots of Dream High stills
So here’s a whole mess of stills from the upcoming KBS drama Dream High, which is probably most known because it’s the collaboration of actor-mini-mogul Bae Yong-joon and kpop producer/svengali Park Jin-young, and stars lots of young idol stars.

Wish Upon a Star and Kingdom of the Wind actress Choi Jung-won is featured in a photo spread for fashion mag Elle Korea; she poses in these stills with a cello, which seems like merely an extraneous prop since the real appeal is in her artfully disheveled look. I like how she looks partially like... More »

ATHENA: Episode 2
We take off with just another show, this time the action-packed romantic drama that I’ve been waiting for some time now. After Giant wrapped up, and a solid second half in k-drama land is about to close, Athena promised me a fun, escapist way to end the year. SONG OF THE DAY TVXQ – Athena... More »

High Cut turns Yoon Seung-ah into party queen
Playful Kiss sidekick Yoon Seung-ah turns “party queen” for a new spread in High Cut magazine, which produces reliably stylish fashion shoots.

In any case, Yoon Seung-ah’s photos are in keeping with High Cut’s penchant for wacked-out hair and... More »
