We study the expectation values of Wilson-loop operators with theinsertionsof local operators Z^J and Zbar^J with large R-charge J from the bulkviewpoint of AdS/CFT correspondence. Classical solutions of strings attached tosuch deformed Wilson loops at the conformal boundary are constructed and areapplied to the computation of Wilson-loop expectation values. We argue that inorder to have such solutions for general insertions at finite positions in thebase spacetime of the gauge theory, it is crucial to interpret the holographiccorrespondence in the semi-classical picture as a tunneling phenomenon, as hasbeen previously established for holographic computations of correlators of BMNoperators. This also requires to use the Euclideanized AdS background andEuclidean super Yang-Mills theory.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, version to be published in JHEP, no change from the previous version, only extraneous figure file is remove
