He won the Best Actor award during the 2007 Asian Film Awards and has attended various film fests including the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

Lee first rose to stardom with TV series "Ruler of Your Own World" (MBC, 2002) and has appeared in several films and dramas. Her last role on the small screen was in "Fugitive: Plan B (KBS, 2010)" alongside actors Rain and Daniel Henney.
