As we write this, Japan is heading to the polls in an election that might see the ruling LDP lose its majority in the House of Representatives. Of course, we’re less interested in the podgy faces of the LDP policos, most of whom should be off collecting their pensions by now instead of running the…

Korean cinema continues to produce sex-laced historical melodramas. Past favorites in this genre include Lost Flower: Eo Woo-dong, The Treacherous, Untold Scandal, A Frozen Flower, The Servant, The Concubine. Now we can chalk Shin Yoo-joo and Han Chae-yoo up to our list of K-cinema hotties for their scenes in The Story Of Ong-nyeo (2014). Check…

There has been a lot of talk about the pop idol rivalry between Korea and Japan as of late, but this is not a recent rivalry. The two countries have been in competition with each other for generations. This time we’d like to have a look at the most important of those rivalries, which country’s…

Here’s a case that ticks all the boxes about the current moral panic. A concafe (“concept cafe”) staffed by men in Kabukicho, Tokyo, is accused of exploiting vulnerable female customers. Concafes can be innocuous themed cafes but are often staffed only by men, making them essentially a kind of host club (similar to how girls’…

One-time member of Dal Shabet, Viki (aka Kang Eun-hye or Baek Da-eu), has tried to move her career forward with some nudity in the Korean film Nice Sister-In-Law (also called Good Sister-In-Law).

We have been quite happy with the current flow of sexy South Korean girl groups that have been appearing here in Japan as of late, but the South Korean government seems to think they are going over board in the sexiness category. Korea has long stuck by the Confucian ideal of showing no cleavage and…

Always on the look-out for Korean actress nudity, we saw this bizarre story over on BattyforNudity. A Korean film director has been charged by policed for releasing a cut of a movie featuring nude scenes of an actress without her consent. The film, House with a Good View, was released back in 2012. But then…

Some sad news, folks. The lovely Ayame Misaki has got married. The 27-year-old actress and model apparently tied the knot on July 11 with a 36-year-old man who works as a salesman in energy conservation. The couple met last May at a mahjong game run by married friends. As the game wore on, Ayame became…

School of Youth 2: The Unofficial History of the Gisaeng Break-In is a strange sex comedy set in a village school in the late Joseon period and portrays the shenanigans that go on there. There are several explicit sex scenes, including some nice cowgirl and doggy shots. If you like Korean girls in historical Korean…

Bravo! The Koreans have done it again. Another steamy mainstream film is here to whet your appetites. A “lurid potboiler,” The Handmaiden is directed by Park Chan-wook of Oldboy and Thirst fame. If the title sounds familiar, that’s because we already had erotic films like The Housemaid (starring Jeon Do-yeon) and The Servant (starring Jo…
