With his second Hollywood film "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" slated to open in theaters this June, Hallyu superstar Lee Byeong-Heon spoke frankly about his foray into the biggest film market in the world.
"Every day during filming, I came on set nervous", Lee confessed during a press conference for the new film in Apgujeong, southern Seoul, this week.
"In Korea, if an actor is injured or sick, the production can be delayed and there is some leniency. However, in Hollywood, because the budget for films is enormous, even if you are injured, you still need to be on set as the film schedule is very precise",...More

A firefight occurs at the “Bridge of No Return” in the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone), and two North Korean soldiers are killed. The North claims that the incident was a flagrant attack by the South Koreans, while the South claims that one of their soldiers was kidnapped. In order to solve the dispute, the NNSC (Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission) dispatches half-Korean half-Swiss Army Intelligence Bureau officer, Major Sophie E. Jean. With no cooperation from either side, the case appears to be unsolvable. However, Major Jean discovers that the number of bullets fired from the pistols and the number found at the scene differ by one, and she begins to dig deeper into the backgrounds of the soldiers involved.

about friendship. This is my best line:
"if war really broke out, would we have
