A Selection of Recent News of Jo Seung-woo

It's time to see what's happening with my favorite ajusshi, Mr. Jo Seung-woo. I feel like it's my unofficial duty to update of his news, although punctuality is not my strongest suit. Nonetheless, all of these are good news (although there is a rather unpleasant one in the near past but let's not dive into the negatives) and some are exciting to say the least. If anything, there's a lot of new very pretty pictures of the man. Ideally, each of these news bit should be its own post during the time it was announced but what has passed has passed. Let's enjoy the pretty anyways.

Reply Series Dials Back to 1988

There's no stopping director Shin Won-ho and the Reply team. After the massive successes of the first two installments of the Reply series, it seems that the ball is rolling for a third season (reportedly) set in the year of 1988 slated for the summer season. I can't deny I'm a little excited for this new one.

Lee Je-hoon will be discharged tomorrow

Everybody say MANSE*!

Hyun Bin Makes His Return as King in 'The Fatal Encounter'

The fantastic Hyun Bin will be making his first return to the acting world after doing his stint in mandatory military by coming back as his royal hotness in the movie The Fatal Encounter.

The First Ever K-pop Idol Wedding

Modern K-pop has evolved immensely since its birth. Not only music-wise, but also culturally. From shrouding the idol in mystery, to putting their lives out for the public to see. Known for their strict rules where the idol has become almost a public property, things have shifted slightly more and more towards "free" idol. And nothing says this more than the recent news of Wonder Girls' Sunye getting married.

Fantastic First Look at the Return of Geollim

I am so excited to share with you all the news I have right now. Seriously, it's epic. Like beyond what you can imagine. Who do I want to badly pair again since 2010? That's right, Yoo Ah-in and Song Joong-ki who made the cracktastic pair Geollim from the super drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal is back together. OMG!

INFINITE Will Be Back. In 2 Months.

After a super week of blogathon last week, I am back to my regular programming. Which is talk about K-pop and all that. And when I say K-pop, I mean INFINITE. I don't really listen to newer K-pop these days, because well, they suck. But I know I can depend on these guys for super awesome music at all times. Good news is they'll be back! Bad news is I have to wait two months. Thanks a lot.

Fashion King Officially Kicks Off!

Ah, yes, one of the most anticipated dramas of the year (at least for me), Fashion King, is officially in shooting mode. The four main cast, Yoo Ah-in, Shin Se-kyung, Lee Je-hoon, and Yuri are off to New York City to film their first scene together where, perhaps in a strange de javu moment or something where they all meet in the middle of Times Square as they awkwardly stare at each other reminiscing about the strange past they shared together as the camera spins around them trying to capture that exact moment as each character attempts to put on their most angst-ridden face ever. Ha, I'm just kidding. It may actually be like that but I'll remain doubtful. Someone give me a lollipop if that does come true.

It's Coming, INFINITE's 2nd Invasion Concert

I haven't talked about INFINITE for a while, mostly because they haven't released their regular material lately. They released a Christmas-y single entitled 'Lately' back in December, but it was a combination of laziness and lack of Sunggyu lines (forgive me, I'm terribly biased) that I decided not to review it. Anyways, personal issues aside, this post is going to talk about a momentous occasion in INFINITE's short but glorious history, their first Korean solo concert entitled 2nd Invasion.

Get Well Soon, Eunjung

Truthfully I don't know why I'm writing this post. I haven't been writing all too much this month, despite the semester break and all. I guess this is a good chance for me to write something on this blog. You know, spice it up. But besides blog-related things, I'm also giving a shout out to my number one favorite Korean female idol of all time. I think. I'm pretty sure. She is T-ara's Eunjung, the girl who can do everything.

Drama Fashion King is On!

So last week all of you have to witness my bitch-rant-fest about idols becoming actors. Even if you didn't, I'll just assume that you did. One of the news that was attached with that article is Yoo Ah-in's rumored casting in the upcoming SBS drama, Fashion King. Well, I have good news! The drama is on and Yoo Ah-in is officially on board!

First Take: Brown Eyed Soul's Youngjun feat. Simon D with You Than Flowers

 

Member of South Korea's very own R&B group just released his own solo album. That is Youngjun of Brown Eyed Soul! I'm so excited. BEG is one of my favorite musical acts that came out of Korea, and Youngjun's voice is my favorite. That alone got me really excited. A couple of months ago I reported two of BEG's members, Jungyup and Sung Hoon, released their solo projects and I wished Youngjun would release his own. Well thank you very much my wish came true!

'Wandeugi' Punching Its Way to Box-Office Glory

It seems like Yoo Ah-in is fast becoming one of Korea's most valuable young actors as of late. His last year's drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal earned a rightful cult status. Now, his movie Wandeugi is climbing its way into box-office gold. The movie managed to earn top box-office five weeks in a row and quickly becoming one of the biggest hits this year.

And Now We Bid Farewell to Rain

Super star, multi-talented, self-proclaimed world star, Rain, is saying goodbye to regular citizen life and hello to two years of military. Goodbye stages of the world, hello buzz cuts and Choco Pies.

Stills and Preview of Peach Tree is Out!

You can't imagine how excited I was when I saw the stills and preview of some sorts. And of course naturally I would come here and tell you all about it. After about 15 minutes of pure spazzing.

Brown Eyed Girls Will Be Back!

Another great September news after another, the fabulous girl group Brown Eyed Girls will be returning with a new album! Here comes some serious powerhouse vocals ready to hit the K-pop airwaves. September will be a great, great month for entertainment.

Something to Look Forward to This September: Yoo Ah-in's Wandeuki!

It's been a while since I've blogged about another favorite actor of mine, Yoo Ah-in! Ever since his stint in Sungkyunkwan Scandal he's been everywhere. Either that or I'm just more aware of all his projects because I'm his fan. Well, now there's another project to look forward to. It's his new movie, Wandeuki!

Derpy Big Bang in New Zealand

And you never thought the word "derpy" and "Big Bang" can be in the same sentence? Well think again.
