Japanese Actor Ken Watanabe to Make First Visit to Korea

World famous Japanese actor Ken Watanabe will make his first visit to Korea to participate in the press preview of his latest film "Memories of Tomorrow", scheduled to be released in Korea on April 23.

Watanabe has become famous worldwide for his charismatic acting shown in Hollywood films such as "Last Samurai", "Batman Begins", and "Memoirs of a Geisha". He has many fans in Korea.

The Japanese actor is committed to promoting his latest film because it is his first work where he not only played a leading role but also participated in the production. He was nominated for the best leading actor award at the recently-held Asian Film Awards for his role, which is completely different from his past masculine, tough roles, along with Korean actor Song Kang-ho ("The Host") and Jeong Ji-hoon, the real name of singer Rain ("I'm Cyborg, But That's Ok").
