    Things to Do on a Fall-Winter Trip to Korea: Gwanghwamun Square, Gyeongbokgung, Bukchon Hanok Village, Hongdae

    January 7, 2015 - By 

    Day 4 in our winter-fall Seoul escapade was easily my favorite day. Dampened a bit by some morning drizzle that did nothing to tame the cold (rather exacerbating it to a very unique chill), the skies cleared soon enough in time for an umbrella-free afternoon. This day sort of turned into our hippie arts and culture day, starting with a stroll along Gwanghwamun to say hi to King Sejong, then a fascinating tour of Gyeongbok Palace, ending with an afternoon split between Bukchon Hanok Village and trendy, energetic Hongdae.

    Super Show 5 Manila: The boys are back

I only watched the Korean drama because the trailer on ANIMAX showed Siwon with his trademark snarky grin, standing with his shirt open, chocolate abs in full view. Such a compelling persuasion, I tell you, even for someone whose Super Junior bias is not Simba (I’m so sorry Donghae!). So I was prepared to finish it purely on fan-girl energy, but other hooks got to me. It is not a stellar, first-of-its-kind love story. The cougar romance has been played out often enough, by Demi andAshton…

    Donghae Says Pray for Michael

    April 2, 2011 - By 

    Donghae is an angel. I’m allowed to say that even if he’s not my bias. He and Siwon met a lone Chinese man on the street past midnight, drinking and smoking alone. Donghae shares the man’s story in his Cyworld entry below, and his attempts with Siwon to give the man faith and hope. If this story has touched you, pass it on, and translate it if you can. I too know how it feels to have a family member suffering from cancer. Above all else, the most important things you can give them is love, encouragement, and a strong…
