@Chris it's not like he said he won't ever do it but Hollywood is something much much bigger than what he achieved til now. So what he wants to do I think is to be not only being well known but also he wants to grow as an actor and be better at his acting to be ready for other roles in Hollywood or so.
He also spoke about in the chapters before that he wasn't really sure about his acting (he has some insecurities) so he wants to grow and learn much much more and this all of course will take time.
I hope you understand it and I also can understand what you mean but as an actor there is much more that how well known you are in your country or how good you are in your acting. Especially the Hollywood industry is really dark.
I also saw a lot of documentations from famous actors where they said that they needed a lot of time to choose a project and some of them also regretted that they choose the wrong ones.

@RIP Yes, I did see his struggle. Especially when he realize he lost sight of his goals of being a better actor and being the main lead does not always mean the same thing. I understand wanting to be better at your craft, but lets not forget he has more than twice the experience of other actors his age. You will have to at some point step up. As I said before. These opportunities don't just land in your lap everyday. Hollywood don't give out roles to just anyone. If he wants to stay in Korea. That's fine. But don't expect Hollywood to wait around for you. As far as actors regreting miss opportunities. Off the top my head I can thing of one great actor. Sean Connery and the Matrix. But the point I'm making is that he's limiting himself by only considering roles in Korea. There's nothing wrong in seeing what's out there. He could always say no. If he doesn't even look. Its a guarantee he'll miss out on a role. He knows the future. Just like the Priest movie. He could find himself in a great opportunity like Luke from Starwars. Jake from Avatar. Or Jack from Titanic. It would be regrettable to not see him shine across the world
