The wind is blowing quite strongly for Korean actors in Hollywood. Korean actresses are following in the footsteps of such actors as Jang Dong Gun, Jung Ji Hoon (Bi), and Lee Byung Hun who have made their advancement to Hollywood. It's safe to say that the wind is starting to blow just as strongly for the actresses.
With the likes of Korea's own world star Kim Yoo Jin of 'Lost,' Korean-American actress Sandra Oh of 'Grey's Anatomy' (*she is actually Canadian), Jeon Ji Hyun of 'Blood: The Last Vampire,' and Song Hye Kyo of the American Indie film 'Fetish' are capable of gaining power to blow in fresh wind.
Song Hye Kyo who possesses beautiful Eastern features is taking quite a different route than Jeon Ji Hyun to conquer Hollywood by starring in the New York based independent film 'Fetish.' The film is about a Korean woman who immigrates to the States and takes over the body of her married neighbor in order to charm her husband. 100% of the lines are in English.
Korea's top star actresses like Jeon Ji Hyun and Song Hye Kyo decided to make their U.S. advancements once the light turned green. With the American drama market and Hollywood now being strong for Korean actresses, the 'Korean Wind' is just beginning.
