The documentary is for a TV series called "The Third Eye", where various up-and-rising countries take the spotlight. Countries that have been covered in the past include Britain, Spain, Kenya, and Vietnam.

Eom was directly invited to be a part of the series and it was aired in June. She was noted for her memorable acting skills, fluency in English, and allure.

Along with Eom, Korea's cutting-edge technology and fastest internet connection speed in the world were also highlighted. Representing Korean actors and actresses, Eom gave her thoughts and opinions on Korean culture, film, and the Hallyu wave.

The talent said, "I think culture is the most powerful product. Korea's national brand and value has gone up thanks to foreigners loving Korean culture. Korean film is not only charming parts of Asia, but Europe as well. Our movies have characteristics that everyone can relate to. Rather than watching the same formula of a storyline in Hollywood blockbusters -- albeit though there are a lot of choices -- there are more and more foreign movie-watchers that seek out something new and like the creativity, variety, and uniqueness that Korean films offer".

There are eight episodes of "The Third Eye". They started airing on June 11th, and will wrap up its run at the end of June..
