Kim Yun-jin on Letterman

One of my favorite Korean actresses is going to be on Letterman this month:

The Korean actress Kim Yun-jin, who thanks to the ABC hit series “Lost” now has considerable star appeal in the U.S., will appear on the long-running “Late Show with David Letterman,” an honor last accorded a Korean when the teenage golfer Michelle Wie made an appearance last year. Being a guest on the show will give Kim a sense of having finally arrived.

I just can’t pass this up because there goes the Korean media claiming non-Korean citizens as one of their own.  Since when was Michelle Wie Korean? I have covered this before, but the Korean media continues to label her as Korean.  I could live with Korean-American Michelle Wie, but at least put American in there somewhere.
