Which Korean Star Would Succeed In Hollywood?
Actor Jang Dong-gun has been making waves with his new Hollywood flick "The Warrior's Way". Not only has he been receiving positive reviews from Korean critics, but articles printed in non-Korean sources -- such as CNN, AP, CBS, FOX, and MTV -- have all been lauding Jang as well. He's been described as good looking, well-mannered, poised, charming like an international superstar should be, and sociable. So now the question is, which actor is most expected to follow behind him into Tinseltown?

Movie-focused company, Cine21, conducted a survey from November 15th to the 22nd asking participants which Korean star they think could successfully enter Hollywood the way Jang did. 56.4% of the votes were cast for the ever-so-popular actor Wonbin. Wonbin's had a great year in 2010 thanks to the hit film "A Man From Nowhere" or "Ajushi". The movie attracted a record-breaking number of movie-goers; over 6.2 million of them to be exact. It was also showcased abroad at international film festivals in the US and Canada. He's won multiple awards for his role and has been maintaining his status as one of the biggest "it" stars with his talent and good looks.

Following Wonbin was Kang Dong-won, the star of the movie "Psychic", with 25.1%, Jo Seung-woo who's currently starring in the Jekyll And Hyde musical with 14.6%, and Gong-yoo who can be seen in "Finding Kim Jong-wook" took fourth place.
