The Marmot's Hole � Kim Yoon-jin lands leading Hollywood role:"Actress Kim Yoon-jin, who is currently starring in the popular ABC miniseries “Lost,” has broken into Hollywood with the leading female role in the movie “Georgia Heat” opposite Billy Bob Thornton."

"“Georgia Heat” depicts the turbulent life of a Korean woman who immigrates to 1960s Georgia. In the film, Kim will take on the role of a foreigner who faces discrimination as an immigrant and is caught up in the tensions between two American men."

"The actress, of course, had previously turned down a role in the upcoming Speilberg production of Memoirs of a Geisha. As for her reasons behind the decision:
“Since it is a film by Steven Spielberg and Rob Marshall, I first thought maybe I should just close my eyes tight and just do it,” she said, but in the end decided not to do it. “Even if it is Hollywood, I don’t want to start by playing a Japanese geisha. It’s a matter of pride.”"
