Six reasons to read Vogue

Six of Korea's famous female artistes - Choi Ji Woo, Kim Ok Bin, Lee Mi Sook, Kim Min Hee, Yoon Yeo Jung and Ko Hyun Jung, gathered together for a pictorial for the latest Korean Vogue magazine. Each of the actresses oozes different types of charm in their own style. Now, this is what I call art in a fashion magazine.

Choi Ji Woo's new look

All stars love a new look. In her latest advertisement for cosmetics line Vidi Vici, Choi Ji Woo sheds her wholesome fresh-faced image for sexy and haughty charm. Looking all radiant, Choi believes that the lustre of glittering make-up will be the trend for this autumn. Get ready to be dazzled by some 'glitter-power' along the streets of Seoul come autmn.

Long Hiatus

Took another 'forced' break from blogging for the last few months as real life once again demanded our full attention to several personal and professional issues. Well, that's the challenge we face at HelloHallyu since we aren't maintaining this site full-time, although that would a really neat thing to do.

During this period, your writers at HelloHallyu actually sojourned to Korea for a short tour!

Without further ado, here are some snapshots of the stuff I saw in Korea!


Cut-outs of Bae Yong Jun & Choi Ji Woo at the Yongpyong Ski Resort - Film-site of Winter Sonata.



A great view of the ski slope. Yup, here's the location where so many of the Winter Sonata scenes were filmed. Pity there's no snow in May!


Ain't Yongpyong Ski Resort a beautiful place even during the off-season?

Korea's hottest shopping district. I am sure lots of dramas/movies were filmed here!



Last but not least a photo of my handiwork. Handmade kimchi anyone?
