Actress Song Hye Kyo who will make her US debut in an independent film will say 80% of her lines in English.
On the 27th, an associate close to Song Hye Kyo said "In Song Hye Kyo's U.S. debut project 'Fetish,' 80% of her lines will be in English."
The associate explained that Song Hye Kyo's management company Sidus HQ has been encouraging her to study English and she had a short term stay in the United States where she was able to devote her energy to it. The biggest stumbling block to overcome for advancing into the American market is having sufficient language skills.
Song Hye Kyo's 'Fetish' will be New York base director Soon Su Bum's full-length directorial debut. In this project, she will appear as a woman with spiritual ability. Song Hye Kyo attended this year's Pusan Film Festival where casting director Susan Shopmaker recommended her for 'Fetish.'
Song Hye Kyo's close associate also explained, "From the middle of this month, she began filming in New York. She will continue to film on location until December 20th."
Having'Full House, 'All In,' etc. on her side, Song Hye Kyo is a star widely known in Asia. With 'Fetish,' if she is able to show her capability and receive good evaluation from the American market then the plan is for a full-scale advancement into Hollywood.
