With his recent thrust into the American spotlight with a Time Magazine cover, the sexy Jang Dong-gun has sealed yet another deal to pave the way to stardom in the U.S. He is set to star alongside the gorgeous Kate Bosworth in the upcoming movie “Laundry Warrior,” a story about an Asian warrior’s adventures in the west as a fugitive where he meets a beautiful woman. Sure, the plot may not seem Oscar-worthy, but the movie is being produced by “Lord of the Rings” and “Matrix” producer Barrie Osborne. This is thus far the biggest transition a Korean movie star has made into the American film industry.
Dong Gun Fighting!

Hello sleepyhead
Jang Dong-gun makes a cheap suit look good
What does the perfect Korean man look like?
woooo can’t wait!
JDG is awesome.
So happy to see Jang Dong Gun doing a hollywood movie. Go,Go,Go JDG! You can make it!
its a toss-up to who the camera loves more…its like too much beauty…
I adore Kate Bosworth. Jang Dong Gun is certainly good looking. And a Barrie Osborne produce movie at that. Im definitely watching when it come out.
With top-rated actors like Jang Dong Gun(Taegukgi, Friend, Typhoon), Geoffrey Rush(Shine, Shakespeare in Love, Elizabeth, Pirates of the Carribean)& Kate Bosworth (Blue Crush, Louis Lane in Superman Returns)plus Barrie Osborn as the producer, this movie would be a hit, I’m sure.
JDG deserves it, wishing him good luck.
So cool. I really admire this actor, so humble.
ugh i don’t like kate bosworth.. she’s the only one/thing that i didn’t like in Superman Returns..
wow…can’t wait to actually see an asian as the main character in a hollywood movie…make us proud jang dong gun!!!!!
hot.
Awesome dude..cool..humble and gorgeous..I will always support JDG!. Go Adonis!!
Too bad that Zhang Ziyi was replaced by only a so so actress like Kate Bosworth because of her tight schedules. Anyway, Jang Dong Gun is in the movie and that’s more important to me. Fighting JDG!
Thanks popseul for featuring Mr.Jang Dong Gun, one of the most talented actors in South Korea.
though I dun really think Kate is that good an actress, she’s at least not buggy/overrated like zyz. this looks good!
Now I only need to pray that freaken gorgoues JDG will do a project with Johnny Depp, they can be twins…and I will be nice for the rest of my life.
JDG is really classy, a true mega movie star. Wish him all the best. Dong Gun Jang!!
hello gorgeous dong gun…..luv ya and wishing ya all da best in Hollywood!!!;)
If only the girl were remotely decent looking or a decent actress.
They both are gorgeous lol.
Can’t wait!
I want to see this movie.
Oooo. Looking forward to seeing JDG on the big screen. I hope the movie isn’t too cheesy.
looking good… - even though Geoffrey Rush is an old actor..he is great..
I prefere Kate over Zhang ziyi..I think zzy is overated to..
and JDG? he is just ^^
woo woo… can’t wait to see the movie (and I pray for a good movie)
If it was Angelina Jolie, then Jang Dong Gun’s stock would sky rocket.
Cool!! Good luCk
Asian pride he is!!!!I’m proud of you, my love!
Good Luck JDG dear!
wow.. looking forward to his new movie! Wish u luck, oppa.
what….can zhang ziyi even speak english well? kate bosworth is very pretty and it’d be nice to see the guy being asian for once…it’s always the exotic asian girl.
I’m so proud of JDG, I really hope that the movie would be a success.
i will definitely see that
i’m so looking forward to the day when asian actors get casted for ANY role not just asian ones.
SPEEDRACER DOESN’T EVEN STAND A CHANCE!
Buaahhahaa! JDG!
Does anyone know which issue of TIME JDG was on the cover of? I haven’t seen it and would like to… I looked at some covers on the web site but haven’t seen it!
I wish him sucess but I wish JiHoon even more.
GO Rain GO Rain GO Rain!!!
I’ll be excited when I see my Jun Ji Hyun movie. Then I’ll celebrate for him.
I swear, it’s like some kind of tease! Not one trailor and it takes months for them to update their progress for a freaking 45 minute movie!
Let’s just hope Dong Gun isn’t cheated.

sweetlee8,
actually he appeared on Time Mag cover exactly 2 years ago, November 2005 issue to be spesific…..it’s an old news for his fans, i dunno why it takes 2 years for other people to know about it..
at least we know all the asians will be out in the movie theaters supporting him, hahaha. but yay! jdg <3 i wonder if this will come out before or after jun jihyun (or… gianna jun?!)’s hollywood flick..
I think anyone is better than Zhang Ziyi. She seems to be the only Asian in hollywood movies. But if the role meant for an Asian, then would Kate Bosworth be suitable?
@Paulina…But if the role meant for an Asian, then would Kate Bosworth be suitable?
I read that they would revise the script.
@sweetlee8
I think the said November, 2005 edition of Time magazine was only distributed in South Korea. I got my copy there coz it’s not available in our country.
!!YOU CAN DO IT OPPA!!!
CONGRATULATIONS
NOoOoo I don’t wanna oppa to get with some blondie chick *pouts*
Eh, which century is the film taking place in?
that is so awesome i cant wait
MUST SEE.
why is dong gun working with some random white girl??
it’s NOT a good match. why the freak is this going on??????
yeah his cover must be regional edition. certainly not archived here:
http://www.time.com/time/searchresults?from_month=01&from_day=01&to_month=12&to_day=31&search_type=cov_year&year=&year=&year=2005
Does he speak English?
I hope he doesn’t flop… once he flops… @ my school: “LMFAO ANOTHER LAME KOREAN MOVIE JUST LIKE DWAR”
Starring along side with Kate Bosworth is a step down for him, Hollywood or not. She’s a bad actress.
i agree with aya and bloo. she sucks as an actress. but has good style.
I think him and Kate will do okay.
You’re all right — He was on the 2005 cover (http://www.time.com/time/asia/2005/korea/story2.html). Too bad! I thought it was more recent…
gorgeous papa.
sweetlee8, to be x-tra specific, JDG was on the cover of the 14 Nov, 2005 issue of Time. I was so fortunate that my friend in HK sent me a copy that her husband bought in Japan.
awww…they make a cute couple already. i wish JDG the best of luck. ^_^
I’m so happy for JDG. Good luck Oppa!
The story really revolves between the characters to be portrayed by JDG and Geofrrey Rush. Kate’s role is just to spice up the story. If Zhang-Ziyi was not replaced, she is suppose to be the the assassin of JDG but will fall in love with him. Kate’s role is suppose to be just a minor one but since zhang ziyi backed out, they decided to make the role of Kate bigger that what it should be.
Good news for him.
But I don’t really care for Kate Bosworth.
I used to respect her until she decided to let herself be skeleton skinny and anorexic-looking.
Tsk, tsk, I thought she would be smarter than that but I guess she’s like all those lame, vain actresses.
And I thought she sucked in Superman Returns.
“LAUNDRY WARRIOR” ??? SERIOUSLY ?? (the name guys the name! I Hope they changed the title) it’s almost similar to read something like “Captain Underpants”.. but JDG fighting !! I like him in Thypoon so, it’s is really a good news ..
^ @ amareally.. LMAO.. luv the comment…
anyway… does he know how to speak decent english? or will his character stay korean or be dubbed in english?
Glad it’s Asian guy and white girl this time. Not white guy and asian girl like it always is!
Kate Bosworth is pretty but she can’t act worth crap.
So excited
COOL!
can’t wait to see oppa on screen soon
Fighting !!!!
Great! I LOVED Blue Crush and this Jang Dong-gun guy sounds interesting! I’ll see it!
JDG looks SO good in that picture
i think this is going to be great!!!
so handsome JDG!!
