Ofte, hvor en koreansk berømthed rammer berømt status, vil de overveje at gå ind i Hollywood. Muligheden præsenterer sig i form af en film, tv -show eller endda et komo -udseende, og til sidst får det en masse brummer. Der har været en rimelig andel af disse skuespillere og skuespillerinder, men her er otte skuespillere og skuespillerinder, der har vovet sig ind i Hollywood.
Men Dong Seok
Mange vil blive overrasket over at opdage, at de berømte Tog til Busan Skuespiller boede faktisk i Ohio og har amerikansk statsborgerskab. På trods af at have flyttet til Sydkorea for at fokusere på at udvikle sin skuespillerkarriere, vendte Ma Dong Seok tilbage til USA og sluttede sig til Marvel Cinematic Universe i de højt forventede evige som Rough Gilgamesh. Efter at have gjort ganske indtryk i denne særlige rolle, vil han uden tvivl have flere muligheder i fremtiden!
Lee Byung Hun
Lee Byung Hun’s diverse background and language abilities will impress many. Not only is the South Korean actor fluent in English, but he is also fluent in French! With his eclectic background, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood knocked on the actor’s door. He waited for the perfect role and finally accepted to star as Storm Shadow in the G.I. Joe franchise. But he didn’t stop here. He later starred in Terminator Genisys, Misconduct, The Magnificent Seven, The Fortress, and Keys to the Heart. It’s obvious that Lee Byung Hun’s Hollywood career is flourishing!
Han Hyo Joo
Han Hyo Joo is a household name in South Korea, known for her beauty and talent as an actress. Her Hollywood debut came in the form of a Jason Bourne spin-off series titled Treadstone. She was able to showcase her natural charm, English, and action scenes, which she worked so incredibly hard on. Her transformation was jaw-dropping, and there is no question that she gave it her all!
Regn
Regn’s international fame and debut in Hollywood was very natural. In his solo singing career, he performed at Madison Square Garden to a sold out crowd. From this stemmed endless opportunities for international fame and stardom including starring in various films like Speed Racer, Ninja Assassin, The Prince, and more. The popularity and power of Regn when it comes to music and acting is endless!
Park Seo Joon
Park Seo Joon is one of the newer faces on the list of Koreans who have decided to take on some Hollywood roles. As he is considered to be one of the biggest K-drama actors in the industry, it was only a matter of time before he caved into the relentless scripts and opportunities he received from Hollywood. When it was finally confirmed that Park Seo Joon would be joining the Marvel Universe, fans were ecstatic. He is set to star in the upcoming sequel to Captain Marvel sometime in 2023, and I’m so excited to see him shine in this role!
Yoo Teo
Yoo Teo has been acting forever, but he was only recognized more recently through various K-drama projects. Being born in Germany and being fluent in several languages has given Yoo Teo the opportunity to expand his acting horizons. He has been in several American films already and is most recently starring in the already critically-acclaimed film Past Lives, which was released at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It seems as though Yoo Teo is able to excel no matter what industry he is in, and many are thrilled as his acting and charisma on screen is always something to look forward to!
Bae til
Efter at have startet sin karriere som model skiftede Bae Doona hurtigt til at handle efter uddannelsen fra universitetet. Naturligvis startede hendes skuespillerkarriere hurtigt. Hun medvirkede i Bong Joon Ho's Barking Dogs bider aldrig kort efter og har været i mange klassiske film, der har stået tidens prøve. Hun er virkelig et ikon, som mange respekterer. Med sin karriere skyrocketing var det ikke overraskende, da hun påtog sig rollen som Sonmi i filmen Cloud Atlas. Efter at have spillet i flere andre Hollywood -flicks, er Bae Doona blevet et husholdningsnavn i branchen, og hendes karriere fortsætter med at blomstre.
Elsker Suk dig
Mange er overrasket over at vide, at denne berømte skuespiller faktisk var i den amerikanske sci-fi-serie Sense8 sammen med Bae Doona. Hans flydende engelsk er en, der skal bemærkes, da han var vokset op i USA, så det er kun passende, at hans fungerende CV inkluderer nogle amerikanske projekter. Selvom han ikke i øjeblikket er beregnet til at have påtaget sig nogen Hollywood -roller, er det dejligt at se, at der er masser af muligheder for ham derude! Forhåbentlig ser vi ham i hans kommende koreanske projekter i år.
