I really want to here peopleβs theories on his potential character whether itβs big or small. I honestly think itβll be a non significant role but thatβs all I have
More asian representation in marvel and this time it's korean? He's set to play in the new marvels movie with captain marvel. This guy is tall, handsome for western standards, and a great actor (he was in parasite) . Hopefully marvel does something right again. And it would be interesting to see how the west reacts to a face so stereotypically unlike what they usually cast for asians males
Interested to hear peopleβs theories as I havenβt seen much discussion on this yet. Whether he will be a big or small character Iβm curious to know what you guys think.
Iβm a bit obsessed with park seo joon after watching fight for my way, she was pretty and wwwsk. What should I watch next?
Heβs just such a wonderful actor, has great and layered expression, and his kissing scenes always look natural )not to mention his nice looking bod ;))
I want another recommendation with something of his that was nothing less than a great watch. TIA

this story was from 2016
Korean actor Lee Byung-Hun is one of the old school greats who starred in numerous Hollywood films including two GI Joe films, Magnificent Seven, Red 2, Terminator.
he experienced in your face racism while working in Hollywood.
>I do not want to name any individual names, but I felt like when I was working in Hollywood, there were some fellow colleagues of mine who didnβt even look me in the eyes because I was Asian. I tried to [introduce myself] and shake their hands, but they would all ignore me and walk past me. I couldnβt shake their hands until we had finished filming the movie
> Despite having widespread protest over the lack of diversity in Hollywood], Hollywood really has not changed that much. I went to a local coffee shop [in America] for a cup of coffee and a barista who was working there approached me and asked, βAre you a movie star?β At the time, I was beaming with pride that I was finally getting acknowledged for my movie roles. But unexpectedly, he then told me that he enjoyed the movie βHangoverβ. It was that moment when I realized that we Asians all looked alike to [white people].
> To them (co-actors who discriminated him), I was that typical foreign actor who did not speak a lick of English properly. There were many times when I wanted to confront these [racist people] head-on, but I wasnβt able to fight back due to cultural and language barriers that I had to overcome at the time. But now things have changed and I want to push these peopleβs buttons and see just [how far these people can go with their racism for my own curiosity
just take a look at how his own co stars treated him...and some asshole said he was Ken Jeong even though he knew it wasn't him. just like how white people say all Asians look like Jackie Chan.
his co stars refused to believe an Asian man like Lee Byung-Hun was more popular and better looking than they were. jealous racist hate towards the AM.
big time overseas Asian actors like Park Seo Joon don't need Hollywood. i hope he give them the middle finger tbh. unless it is on his own terms and conditions he shouldn't settle for anything less.
So I'm looking for Asian movies, preferably thrillers that are kinda like those directed by Park Chan Wook, Bong Joon Ho, and Takashi Miike but not their movies.
