One after another, an increased number of Korean stars, including Jang Dong-gun, Rain, Lee Byeong-Heon, Jeon Ji-hyeon, Park Joon-hyung and Song Hye-kyo, had been cast in American films. But, why would Hollywood be interested in Korean stars? According to the analysis produced by the Film Promotion Committee, the average annual film marketing growth in America from 2000 to 2005 had been around 31,6 billion dollars. Comparing it against England (2nd – 5,2 billion) and Japan (3rd – 4,6 billion), the American market is approximately 6 time larger, the biggest market in the world. In particular, the film industry had been dramatically advanced and countless American actors are being already appearing in their films. Therefore there's seems no suitable reason to cast Korean actors who virtually has no recognition in America. However, in the process of producing the film, the American film producers and the major studios makes careful strategy to target the international market.
