By I can only imagine what role she is going to play in this movie, but it should be interesting to see what acting skills she has in English:
Playboy model-turned-actress Lee Pa-ni said Friday that she will appear in a Hollywood movie later this year.
Meeting the press before shooting a scene for a cable TV drama in Ilsan, northwest of Seoul, she said, “I will travel to the United States in October or November to star in a drama whose title has yet to be decided.’’
The film will be presented at the Sundance Film Festival. The movie requires her to deliver all of her lines in English but Lee reportedly expresses strong confidence in her language abilities.
According to press reports, the movie will be directed by a Korean Japanese who has apparently left a good impression on the actress.
Lee is a South Korean model who won Spice TV’s Playboy 2006 Korea Model Contest. Standing at 174 cm, she is known to be the first Korean model to appear in Playboy. [Korea Times]
I don’t know why they keep saying Lee Pa-ni is the first Korean to appear in Playboy when it was in fact Lee Sa-bi.

Perhaps it's a matter of territory.
Lee Sung-hi was the first Korean in Playboy, but she's American, so she doesn't count (even though she was born in Korea).
Lee Sabi was the first native Korean in Playboy, but she was found by the Playboy scouts (=foreign scum who don't know sexy), so she doesn't count.
Haceyln Joo was the first Korean in Playboy, but she was the first native Korean Cybergirl of the month and didn't make it into the magazine proper, so she doesn't count.
Lee Pa-ni was the first Korean in Playboy because she was the first one the Koreans themselves to send to Playboy.
How's that?
