HOLY HOTNESS!!!
Have I died and gone to heaven? Because I am pretty sure that Marie Claire Korea has just answered my prayers. To celebrate the 200th issue of the glossy fashion magazine, Marie Claire decided to fulfill this fangirl’s (and many others’ I’m sure) dreams by celebrating the gorgeous, the charismatic, the extremely entertaining men of [...]
Big Bang Does Duty Free
And right on time because all I want today (tomorrow, for my birthday, for X-mas…FOREVER!) is Big Bang! Putting solo activities aside for a moment, the five BB members gathered together for a photoshoot for Lotte Duty Free shops. Although I love that the 5 have ventured out to pursue separate interests and are doing so well [...]
Review: My Fair Lady
Warning: This review may contain a few spoilers (nothing major) and is highly flammable (no, not really). But this is my sole opinion, not anyone else’s, so read with caution. Well I’m a bit late, but I just finished KBS’s My Fair Lady and to be honest, I probably would’ve given up on this drama [...]
Kim Tae Woo gets a little crazy
So…a certain g.o.d. member who is very tall, wears glasses, and has a great voice, decided to share his humble opinion about one of the most pressing issues in Kpop today. “When KARA does their butt dance, I go a little crazy.” Oh, Kim Tae Woo! At least he had the guts to admit what’s [...]
Say cheese!
Well look at what we have here…family picture! Here’s Heechul playing nice with the youngsters of f(x) and SHINee. Doesn’t this make you miss those SM Town videos? I admit that I was a huge SM-er back in the day when I first entered the realm of K-pop. I can’t believe that it’s been almost [...]
Park Shin Hye: Even nuns need a little love
With almost all of the attention towards the boys in the idol drama “You’re Beautiful”, actress Park Shin Hye seems to be shunted off to the side quite a bit despite being one of the leads. Not too surprising, considering that Jang Geun Suk and Lee Hongki seem to be enough to keep viewers entertained [...]
Rain+English= (MBLAQ) FAIL
Why? Because apparently his darling mini-me boyband, MBLAQ, stands for the incredibly heinous acronym Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality. Huh?! They may as well have been named Making Boys’ Lives Astonishingly Quirky. Or, better yet, Manly Boyband Likes Acting Questionably. Although, their recently released photo/poster makes even my last attempt at an improved MBLAQ acronym [...]
Obama goes to Korea (Sparkling!)
Next month, President Barack Obama will land in the country of “Sparkling” Korea from Nov. 18 to 19 for a summit with President Lee Myung-bak. President Obama invited Lee to the White House on June 16, and the Korean president was practically giggling like a school girl. Seoul will be the first stop on Obama’s [...]
Overheard on the Upper East Side…
This “Gossip Girl” had the distinct pleasure of hearing some Asian tunes on the CW’s Monday night guilty pleasure show. And oh, did she like it. Did you catch it? Okay, so maybe not “Asian tunes” as in Rain, SNSD, or 2PM, but the musical stylings of hot Asian-American hip-hop and rap group Far East [...]
Happy Birthday to me!
I know this has no relevance to kpop news, other than these supposedly recent shots from Taeyang’s new MV but……………..when is TOP’s solo MV? Celebrating your birthday is about feeling good about yourself, and TOP, you make me feel young, baby.
