Korea's 'Lost' Star to Lure Kids to Disneyland

The Korean actress Kim Yunjin, who is now appearing in the third season of the hit ABC drama "Lost", has been chosen as the face for a new ad campaign being shot by the broadcaster and Disney Parks. The campaign, which targets children and young adults, has an upbeat message about going forward and accomplishing one's dreams. Where the commercials stand out is in their documentary style, with several stars appearing to talk frankly to an interviewer about their dreams -- since Disney Parks, according to the slogan, is "Where Dreams Come True".

Joining Kim is James Denton, who is a worldwide hot property for his work on "Desperate Housewives", Isaiah Washington from "Gray's Anatomy", and Country music star Sara Evans.

The producers say one of the reasons Kim was selected is that she has expressed a desire to give hope to many in the U.S. who seek to realize their dreams, since she herself has managed to fulfill her ambition of becoming a star in Hollywood.

Kim, who has been deeply engrossed in her work on "Lost", has been getting a lot of notice from the U.S. entertainment industry, and has graced the covers of TV Guide, Arena and Stuff. The ad campaign will be shown on ABC and the Disney Family Channels and ABC.com, besides nationwide print ads. The first spot will run at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
