It came as no surprise when I recently read that the model featured on the poster for the 2007 South Korean movie Cadaver (above) isn’t actress Han Ji-min, who stars in the film, but in fact, is adult video actress (or “ero” actress, as they’re called in Korea) Oaem Da-hye (pronounced “Ohm Da-hae”). Even though Da-hye didn’t appear in the mainstream film, she has appeared in many other things.Currently, Da-hye (27) is one of the best-know adult actresses/models in Korea, having appeared in magazines, videos, and even stage plays since 2001. In fact, yours truly had the pleasure of meeting her in 2002 after one of her performances at the Daehangno theater district in Seoul. Her most recent stage performance was in Miranda 2007, that was based on the novel The Collector by John Fowels.

She’s also a favorite “porno jockey,” often hosting and appearing on some of Korea’s most popular live adult websites. Since her activities and popularity are pretty much limited to Korea, there was virtually no information about her on the net in English….until now.

Keeani Lei (sometimes referred to as Teanni Lei) is an American adult film actress who has performed in over 134 adult films as of 2007. She was born on March 16, 1981 (happy birthday Keeani!) to a Chinese father and Panamanian mother. In her free time she is an avid skateboarder. And judging by this clip she likes the game Guitar Hero! 😉

So many Japanese AV idols, so little time! I find Maiko Kazano especially striking and wanted to share some photos with you.Actually, Maiko Kazano already retired, but recently came back for a few new videos. She was born in 1981 and says in an older interview that she hopes to marry at 25. No matter, on the web she will be forever young.

Although we usually don’t show porn, I thought this interesting CGI animation movie would be okay to post here. So beware, don’t click ‘more’ if you are at work! 😉

Tera Patrick, Miko Lee, Kobe Tai, Asia Carrera, Katsumi and Charmane Star are all listed in the new edition of the Top 100 Most Popular Pornstars. All well established names.

We are interested to know who you think are the biggest upcoming Asian pornstars for 2008. So feel free to post your thoughts in the comments! (Thanks to Randy for the tip)

Nevermind that this Japanese hiphop video is a joke made by talentless wannabes. Japanese AV idol Maria Ozawa is in it. She looks ridiculously hot even with her clothes on.
