Look East: Korean Film Festival June 23, 2012

An appreciation of all things Korean has swept into popular culture – from taekwondo to kalbi to K-pop – extending to a proliferation of film and television talent who trace their lineage to the Asian peninsula. This summer, Hollywood will offer an appreciation with the first Look East: Korean Film Festival, a celebratory weekend taking place Saturday & Sunday, June 23-24.

Korean actors: Lee Byung Hun and Ahn Sung Ki will join the Look East: Korean Film Festival in Hollywood, where they will cast their handprints at the Hollywood Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and become part of “Walk of Fame” royalty. Lee Byung Hun (roles in ‘The Good, The Bad, The Weird,’ ‘G.I. Joe,’ and ‘A Bittersweet Life') and Ahn Sung Ki (well-respected Korean star who has appeared in nearly 100 movies) will be the first Korean actors to leave their hand prints at the Hollywood Landmark Theater.
