The Fandom Rainbow

These are just a list of people in the Korean entertainment industry who I feel look/seem similar to each other. ;) Mir (MBLAQ) and Hongki (F.T. Island) Gikwang (B2ST) and L.joe (Teen Top) Soohyun (U-Kiss) and Changjo (Teen Top) Lee Dong Gun and Jung Kyung Ho Lee Yeon Hee and Shin Se Kyung Park Shin Hye and Yoon Eun Hye Lee Jun Ki and Lee Min Ki JB (GOT7) and Hyunsik (BTOB) Jimin (BTS) and Dawon (SF9)

Oh my god, I've developed a new (very giant) celebrity crush, in the name of Seo Kang Joon . Ah, where should I start? I've been watching "Cunning Single Lady" for the last few weeks, which has Seo Kang Joon as the second male lead, the charming noona-killer Gook Seung Hyun. I wasn't very attracted to him while watching him in it, at least not consciously. (I wasn't going, "ah, he's so fine/handsome/good-looking/cute..." all the time.) But I must have been somewhat attracted to him, because I randomly had a dream about him a few nights ago. I was SO surprised, because it was really out of nowhere. I was almost completely sure I didn't have any feelings for him before, rather, I was kind of turned off by the way he really looks like he had plastic surgery, just the way he looked kind of weird and slightly off in the drama. But being the superstitious person that I am, I felt like this meant something, and it made me kind of curious about him. ...

I'm always on the lookout for Korean celebrities (and famous people in general) that were born in the year of 1995, the year I was born, which makes them about the same age as me. I don't know, I just feel this kind of closeness to people who were born in the year of the pig, like me. Here's a list of the celebrities I know who are in the '95 line. Interestingly, I haven't been able to find many famous '95 liners, yet. (There seem to be so many '93ers and '94ers, with a growing abundance of '96ers and '97ers.) Park Ji Bin Nam Ji Hyun Joo Da Young Hyuk (VIXX) Jongup (B.A.P) Jimin, V (BTS) Sungjae (BTOB) Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta (NCT 127) Jihun (KNK) Yunhyung, Bobby (iKON) Ricky, Changjo (Teen Top) Youngmin, Kwangmin, Minwoo (Boyfriend) JR, Ren, Baekho, Minhyun (NU'EST) Namjoo (A Pink) Siyeon (Dreamcatcher) Yooyoung (Hello Venus) Junghwa (EXID) Seolhyun (AOA) Dowoon (Day6) Dawon (SF9) S.Coups, Joshua (Seventeen) Nayoung (Pri...

As a big fan of Park Shin Hye, I was recently looking over her past projects and activities, and while this may have been evident to Park Shin Hye fans for a while, I couldn't help but be surprised (and jealous at the same time) at just how many famous flower guys our Shin Hye has had the chance to work with in the entertainment industry. The following is a list of all of them, as far as I know. The qualifications of being on this list is being an A or B-list celebrity (someone that I know on a name basis or by face, who has a pretty good fan following), fitting my (somewhat broad) definition of "flower boy," and having worked with Shin Hye in a professional setting, through dramas, movies, music videos, CFs, MCing, etc. (Note: Flower boys listed alphabetically) Ahn Jae Hyun - Jambangee photoshoot (2014) Baek Sung Hyun - "Stairway To Heaven" drama (2003), "Doctors" drama (2016) Choi Jin Hyuk - "Heirs" drama (2013), "Running Man...

I just watched the latest episode of Running Man, which featured the rebel student trio of Lee Jong Suk, Kim Woo Bin, and Lee Jong Hyun (of C.N. Blue), Kim Soo Ro, and Min Hyo Rin. And I couldn't help but fangirl at the bromance between Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin . I was giggling so much when Jong Suk kept on holding Woo Bin's hand while eating his so very cold ice cream. And I didn't notice at first, but Jong Suk patted Woo Bin's butt when he greeted him in the beginning! XD This couple is not very new, a hot issue during "School 2013" and probably even now. They're well-known for their heartbreaking friendship on screen, between their characters Go Nam Soon and Park Heung Soo, but apparently their really good friends in real life. It's hard not to squeal at their various expressions of friendship, and maybe love? Woo Bin said to vote for them as a male-male couple for Best Couple! A bowl of noodles makes us one... Proof shots!!! Suc...

I think I'm becoming a fan of SNL Korea . I was just browsing through YouTube, and happened upon a certain video of one of their skits. It's called "Yeouido Teletubbies," and at first, I thought it was some weird parody of a children's show. But then, I realized, it had to do with Korean politics, and that discovery just brightened my day. They characterize the main figures of the current political scene today, through the different-colored teletubbies. For example, Park Geun Hye is called "뽀," the red teletubbie (called Po, originally). Moon Jae In is called "문제니," the yellow one. Lee Jung Hee is a purple "구라돌이," while Lee Myung Bak is affectionately called "MB," the green teletubbie. Ahn Chul Soo is white, called "안쳤어." I just love how the writer/PD of the skit played so close to the real events, cause it's like a kid's storytelling version of all the happenings, doused with a little sweet cursing in betw...

This girl is growing up to be one gorgeous woman. She hasn't changed one bit since her debut... I just finished watching "Flower Boy Next Door," and I happened to check out the beginning of "Stairway to Heaven," in which she plays the younger version of the main female character. She's got natural looks, acting talent, and now even a body to be jealous of. Add to that, the various flower boy actors she's gotten to work with over the years!

Another photo collage, this time for my ideal type, Song Joong Ki.

Lately, I've been getting more interested in a particular Korean actor, Joo Won . I remember being kind of attracted to him while watching "Baker King Kim Tak Goo," but not really knowing much about him. It wasn't until I watched "Bridal Mask" and especially "1 Night 2 Days" that I fell in love with him. Now, after a marathon of Joo Won watching, he is most certainly one of my top biases in the Korean entertainment industry. Today, my mom was talking about how she watched an episode of "Win Win," a variety talk show, and Joo Won was in it, and she found out what a great person Joo Won is. He is certainly a mother's friend's son, but he's more than that. He seems to be a really down-to-earth guy, modest and someone who has his head on right. On the outside, he really kind of looks like the bad guy type, but on the inside, he is a sweet guy who's really innocent when it comes to love. He has a very strong feminine side, wher...
