By Dong Sun-hwa

Korean actress Han Hyo-joo is focusing on the U.S. market, appearing in "Treadstone," the television offshoot of the megahit "Bourne" film series.

"Operation Treadstone" is about the CIA's black ops program that fosters "human weapon" agents. It was introduced in the "Bourne" series, which star Matt Damon.

Han plays So-yun, a North Korean woman who has to make a demanding choice to protect her family after learning of her secret past. Han reportedly auditioned for the role.

She is staying in Budapest, Hungary, for the shooting, according to an industry source.

Hollywood stars including Omar Metwally, Tracy Ifeachor and Gabrielle Scharnitzky will feature in the TV series.

Tim Kring, who wrote the acclaimed "Heroes" series, is penning the drama. Ramin Bahrani is in charge of directing.

The series release date has not yet been fixed.

Han, who debuted in Korea in 2003, is known for dramas including "Brilliant Legacy," "Dong Yi" and "W." Thanks to "W," she won the Top Excellence Award for a Mini-Series at the MBC Drama Awards in 2016.
