💨 Abstract

South Korean actors are increasingly seeking opportunities in Hollywood, driven by the global success of films like "Parasite" and "Squid Game." However, they face challenges such as differing industry standards and stereotypes. Consultants and agencies like Upstage Entertainment are helping them navigate these hurdles. Actors like Amy Baik and Julian Shin are finding that their unique features and accents can be assets rather than barriers, and they are learning to embrace their identities while adapting to American casting practices.
