Talk about a wild ride. SONG OF THE DAY... More »

Kim Joon cast as a cop in new drama
by | January 15, 2011 | 43 Comments
T-Max rapper and newbie actor Kim Joon (whom you may recall as the “Yo-yo-yo!” bro from Boys Before Flowers) is joining the cast of Serious Crime Squad, the cop drama starring Kim Seung-woo and Song Il-kook. With such big names at the top, I’m betting the still-very-unpolished Kim Joon will have a smallish supporting role,... More »
