For the past 3 years LKL has concocted a quiz of the year as a way of gathering together some of the news stories which have most caught our eye. This year, as I came to draw up the list in mid December I found it hard to think of anything amusing or diverting: most [...]

Congratulations to Yang Yong-eun on winning the US PGA golf championship http://bit.ly/2Jw6M #. “It’s not like you’re in an octagon where you’re fighting against Tiger and he’s going to bite you, or swing at you with his 9-iron,” Yang said through an interpreter. “The worst that I could do was just lose to Tiger.

It’s a while since I did a round-up of celebrity news, which means that I’ve almost forgotten all the things I was going to mention, and lost most of the links that I was going to use. So before things get completely out of hand, here’s one of my not-so-regular posts shamelessly plundering the celebrity [...]

I’m conscious that I haven’t posted any celebrity pics for a while, so here’s an update.

The relentless rise of Kim Yun-jin
MSN’s recognition of Kim Yun-jin isn’t quite the kiss of death that I thought it was going to be. She’s now made it into the Stuff’s top 100 babes. A peculiar computer-enhanced photo of her [...]

Photos keep celebs in the news

26 March 2007 Celebs

Our lives would be so much more drab without the occasional celebrity pic to cheer us up. So thanks are due to the paparazzi, the lads mags, the celebrity bloggers and, not least, the celebs’ own PR teams, for adding spice to our daily fare. Here’s some recent and not-so-recent pics.
1 Kim Yun-jin: Spot the [...]

A date with Rain? I’d rather have my hair done

7 January 2007 2006 year-end posts

“Sorry, I’m washing my hair that night” is the familiar put-down you get when the girl of your dreams doesn’t fancy a date with you. But it’s also true of LKL visitors. They’re much more interested in finding the best Korean hairdressers in London, or reading about the techniques involved in a “Magic Straight” perm, [...]

As regular visitors to this site will know, once in a while I like to lower the tone with an unnecessary post. This post is one of them.
I’m not sure how the Chosun can tell from looking at the video of the cosmetic commercial in question, but

Last week someone accused this site of being professional and serious. I know it was probably meant as a compliment, but I realise I haven’t posted anything about Lee Hyolee recently. I spotted this in the Chosun recently, and I’m hoping my friend Hye-sook has taken the hint and will bring me back a copy [...]

New Jeon Ji-hyun vehicle crashes

21 March 2006 Film

OK, so it’s not a complete box office turkey, but after one week at the top of the charts, it’s now down to number 4 and predicted to head south quickly. The vehicle, a film entitled Daisy, is a blatantly commercial effort to cash in on the marketability of the My Sassy Girl star outside [...]
