...Hallyu began roughly 12 years ago when the rest of Asia discovered Korean soap operas. One of the breakthrough dramas was a series 'Winter Sonata' starring Choi Ji-woo & Bae Young-Joon. After that, more Korean dramas saw their way to foreign shores and Korean films and music started to follow suit. Korean marketing people started to see a Korea-centric trend.

[News] Lee Ji-ah mulling Hollywood pic role.
Cr. - 10asia
Lee Ji-ah, who put her acting career on a halt when her secretive marriage and divorce to rock icon Seo Taiji became exposed, is considering a role in a Hollywood film.
An official at Lee's agency KEYEAST told 10Asia over the phone on Wednesday that the actress has been asked to appear in a Hollywood film by a famous director with there being a high chance she will take on the role if the two parties agree on the conditions of the contract since Lee was raised in the U.S. and hence, will not have problems acting her lines in English.
The official also added that Lee has been offered roles in Chinese and Korean projects so she has yet to decide on when and how she will make her return to the spotlight.
However, she will not have an easy time making up her mind and it is too early to anticipate the public's response to her comeback -- her relationship with Seo put the country into a state of shock not only because both had been believed to be single after keeping their relationship a secret for 15 years but in March, Lee had also admitted to dating top actor Jung Woo-sung, her co-star of SBS TV series "Athena."
The following month, Lee's married and divorced past with top Korean rocker Seo Taiji became known to the public, four months after she filed a divorce suit which demanded alimony and division of assets from Seo for the divorce.
The two reached a settlement in late July but only after months of exchanging claims and arguments which went public as well.
