	By Cathy Rose A. Garcia Staff Reporter Wentworth Miller, star of the popular TV series ``Prison Break'' won the hearts of Korean fans with his intelligence, charisma and even his singing during a fan meeting event at the Shilla Hotel, Seoul on Friday. Miller was in Seoul for two days, as the new model for Korean brand Bean Pole Jeans. Wearing a white hooded jacket, blue shirt and jeans, Miller greeted the mostly female crowd with ``Annyonghaseyo,'' drawing excited screams. Miller is immensely popular among Korean fans, who call him ``Sok Ho-pil,'' the Koreanized version of his Prison Break character Michael Scofield. ``I was told my character was given a nickname in Korean, which has a direct reference to an historical figure. That meant the world to me to know I'm part of a show that knows no borders when it comes to cultural differences or language,'' he said. Scofield is also the name of Frank William Scofield, a Canadian who helped in Korea's independence movement. Around 500 fans and journalists attended the press conference and fan meeting. Throughout the 40-minute event, it seemed Miller's every move, whether it was a smile, a wave or the casual way he took off his jacket, made his fans squeal. When asked about his similarities with his Prison Break character, Miller said he is a ``simple and boring person,'' but the character shows him at his ``most compelling.'' ``In my career as an actor, there is a catchphrase that Scofield always says often in regards to his brother, `Have a little faith.' In my own career as an actor, there were times when I was the only one who believed in myself in the face of the odds,'' he said. When asked about his ideal woman, Miller admitted his preference is for dark-haired women who are confident, stylish and have a sense of humor. Comedian Park Kyung-rim, who hosted the event, jokingly told him that she fulfills the qualifications for his ideal woman. ``I should be so lucky,'' Miller said, with a smile. Miller, who was part of an a cappella group while studying at Princeton University, gave fans a sample of his smooth singing voice. He sang ``Happy Birthday Korea,'' in a low, deep voice, making his fans swoon. Bean Pole Jeans will soon unveil the ads featuring Miller wearing simple jeans and a T-shirt. ``I am very pleased to be part of the Bean Pole family. The relationship makes sense to me since Bean Pole has a lot in common with Prison Break. We're both enterprises that have the highest levels of creativity, craftsmanship and innovation,'' he said. Miller said he would tour the Secret Garden in Changdok Palace before he left for the United States. He added he would like to return to visit Cheju Island. During the event, three fans were given a chance to present Miller with presents including an Oriental style painting of his Prison Break character and two big teddy bears. Last year, Bean Pole hired American actress Gwyneth Paltrow and popular actor Daniel Henney for its advertising campaign. cathy@koreatimes.co.kr 03-23-2007 19:52
