I’d been wondering when... More »

Seo Hyo-rim is F.T. Island’s “Bad Woman”
Honestly, I just really like that picture. Rising actress Seo Hyo-rim (The World They Live In) takes a lead role in idol band FT Island’s music video alongside the band’s drummer Choi Min-hwan, seven years her junior (she’s 24, he’s 17). The actress takes the title character of the MV’s “Bad Woman,” which is a... More »

Loveholic’s Jisun returns solo
Modern-rock band Loveholic parted ways with its singer, Jisun, back in 2007, to allow her the freedom to pursue solo work. In the intervening time, we haven’t heard much about the solo stuff, although she has done some collaborations with other artists (such as singing on Epik High‘s fifth-album track “One”). But now, the singer... More »

Hyori gives designing a try
Pop star Hyori is designing her own T-shirt. And I use the word “designing” loosely. The shirt is to commemorate her upcoming concert(s) on the 19th and 20th (her first since going solo) and will be presented to all the concertgoers as an expression of Hyori’s appreciation. And when I raise a skeptical eyebrow to... More »

Lee Seon-kyun sings “Boy”
Although actor Lee Seon-kyun is often referred to as The Voice (by us fans, I mean), I didn’t really expect to see him take up singing — not in an official capacity, at least — but here he is, lending his vocals to a track on Yoon Sang‘s upcoming special album, “Songbook.” Yes, Lee Seon-kyun...

Chae Jung-ahn comes back with TV Love
Chae Jung-ahn is returning to her roots with her first album in seven years. Chae, like Jung Ryeo-won and Jeon Hye-bin, is the type of actor who’s finding a lot more success in her second wind than she’d found in her initial foray into entertainment as a “dance gasu,” or a pop singer whose shtick...
