Lee Hanee Charms "Hero" Hero

Lee Hanee, Miss Korea 2006 and Miss Universe third runner-up 2007, has met with top Japanese actor Takuya Kimura, who is in Korea for the 12th Pusan International Film Festival.

Lee interviewed Kimura as the hostess of "SBS TV Entertainment". The Japanese actor was reportedly quite pleased with the interview, for which he managed to make time despite a busy schedule meeting with fans and promoting his movie Hero, to be released here on Oct. 25.

Lee tried her best to create an amicable mood. She introduced herself and conversed a bit in simple Japanese, which she had studied for the meeting with Kimura. The reason he's been a top star for so long, Lee told Kimura, is because his charisma makes him look perfect in any pose and also because he's a family man.

Meanwhile, Lee's agency said that the beauty queen-turned entertainer could only speak a small amount of Japanese in the interview, but she's determined to devote herself to learning foreign languages, including Japanese, to become an international star.
