For all you Korean drama fanatics, your man – Lee Byung-Hun – has his own poster now for this Friday’s release of G.I. Joe the movie.  Actually, the poster has been out the past week because the G.I. Joe press junket arrived in South Korea last week with the whole cast.  Interestingly, Lee Byung-Hun was the most popular cast member at the press events which either says that Asians only care for their own or the luster of American celerities is fading a bit.

So Lee Byung-Hun plays the character Storm Shadow, the white ninja who battles the covert G.I. Joes.  Lee Byung-Hun was once voted as the South Korean actor most likely to make it in Hollywood.  Well, it may be in a stereotypical fighting role but you gotta start somewhere, and this movie’s been heavily promoted everywhere so hopefully Lee Byung-Hun will get some good press (as well as his hair).
