According to East Prospect Watch, the Cubs' recruiting efforts in the Pacific Rim continue, as the Cubs sign Korean high school standout Lee Hak-ju. He seems to be the sort of player that the Cubs lust over so much right now - a speedy lefty who plays the middle infield:

Again, I feel kind of silly raving about this guy I haven’t even seen in a game, and I’m also not used to writing in this first-person/scout style, but I can say the Cubs are really excited about him. They believe he’d be a first round pick in the states, and one of the people who scouted him also scouted Derek Jeter in high school and says Lee has better tools at his age than Jeter did back in the early 90s.

He hits from the left side and is blazing fast. His time down the line is right around four seconds. I saw one video of him in a scrimmage, filmed through a steel cage behind the catcher. He hits what looks like a line drive (keep in mind this is amateur video) and disappears from the frame for a few seconds. Then, what would appear to be a blur goes across the screen — it’s Hakju running from first to third. Sure, a lot of it had to do with the angle and the quality of the video, but it was still amazing.

Don't expect to see him at Wrigley anytime soon, however - his first stop is at an Australian baseball camp, before eventual assignment to one of the Cubs low-minors affiliates.
