Korean heartthrob Lee Byung-hun has been offered a role in an American TV series, officials from his agency said.
The hallyu star of "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" recently traveled to Los Angeles. He flew to the U.S. directly from Tokyo right after he took part in a jewelry fair awards ceremony along with Japan's first lady Miyuki Hatoyama. He returned home on Jan. 3.
The purpose of his trip to the U.S. was to meet with officials from American agency CAA about his possible appearance in a TV drama.
"We went there to consider a drama proposal. It's not fixed yet. But there have been some agencies making proposals following his appearance in 'G.I. Joe'," representatives from his agency said.
It is said that Lee is considering diverse activities in the U.S., including filming some commercials.
Lee has already been cast in the "G.I. Joe" sequel, with his role in the film expected to be bigger than in the first one.
