Movie star Lee Byung-hun will be the first Korean actor to present an Oscar at the annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday.


It has not yet been determined in which category the winner due to receive an award from Lee will be, the star's agency BH Entertainment was quoted as saying by Yonhap Saturday.

Lee, 45, appeared in Hollywood films such as "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" (2009), "G.I. Joe: The Retaliation" (2013)," "Red 2" (2013) and "Terminator Genisys" (2015).

A prolific actor in Korea, the most recent domestically made film he starred in was the popular "Inside Men" (2015). This year, he will co-star with Gang Dong-won and Kim Woo-bin in the locally produced"Master," and also with Gong Hyo-jin in "Single Rider."


이병헌, 아카데미 시상식에 발표자로 초청돼

한국인 배우 최초로 이병헌이 미국 아카데미상 시상식 무대에 오른다.

이병헌의 소속사인 BH엔터테인먼트 관계자는 23일 '아카데미 측에서 발표자(presenter)로 와달라고 초청이 와서 참석하기로 결정했다'고 밝혔다.

이병헌이 어느 부문의 시상자로 나서는지는 아직 확인되지는 않았다.

이병헌은 '지.아이.조: 전쟁의 서막'으로 할리우드에 진출한 이래 '레드: 더 레전드', '터미네이터 제네시스' 등에 출연하며 할리우드에서의 입지를 다지고 있다.

최근 출연한 '미스컨덕트'와 '황야의 7인' 리메이크작이 북미 기준으로 올해 2월과 9월 개봉을 앞두고 있다.

국내에서는 강동원, 김우빈과 함께 영화 '마스터'의 주연으로 확정된 데 이어 '싱글라이더'에서 공효진과 부부로 출연하는 것으로 결정됐다. (연합뉴스)
