'Lost' Star Finds Success with Hollywood Memoirs

Share |

Actress Kim Yun-jin has published the moving story of her rise to Hollywood stardom. "The World is Your Drama," published earlier this month by Hainaim, is looking like it will be a best-seller.
The book, which Kim wrote herself, tells of her struggles in Hollywood and her aspirations of becoming a world star. The first run of 7,000 copies sold out in one week, thanks in part to favorable reviews on Yes24 and other websites.

Following the book's warm reception, the publisher is rushing to turn out a second printing, with an additional 5,000 copies headed for shelves soon.

One of Kim's close confidants said, "The story of Kim fulfilling her heart's dream, even though she started out totally ignorant about Hollywood, is making a big impression on readers. She wrote the book for eight months despite a very busy schedule, so it's good to see it get positive results. All the profits from the book will go to help the needy."

To celebrate the release of her memoirs and to thank her fans for their warm response, Kim will have a signing event at a bookstore in Jongno on Sunday.

The actress is currently shooting a movie in Busan and Seoul called "Seven Days" that will mark her professional return to Korea. She's due back in Hawaii in August to film the next season of the hit ABC drama "Lost."
