Byeong-heon Lee

Byung hun Lee is an actor who is recognized as one of the starters of the "Korean Boom" in television and film. Having solidified his position as one of Asia's biggest stars, he is known as one of the Four Kings in Japan. Additionally, he is the only actor to sell out the Tokyo Dome with 45,000 screaming fans.

Lee started his acting career in 1991 with a starring role in the Korean TV drama "Asphalt, My Hometown". Additional TV projects include "Tomorrow Love", "Police", "Son of Wind", "Happy Together", "Beautiful Days", "All In", and "Iris" in 2009. Although much of his early success came from television dramas, Lee's real passion is in films. The Good, the Bad, and the Weird and I Come With the Rain premiered in 2008 and his critically acclaimed film I Saw the Devil premiered in 2011 at the Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews.

Lee's first foray in to Hollywood films came in 2010 with a starring role in GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. Following the global success of that film, he signed on for G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, which was released in March 2013 and became an instant international hit. His first period piece feature, Masquerade, was released in late 2012 and received stellar reviews from both audiences and critics, and has become the 3rd highest grossing film to date in Korea. In 2012, he was one of the first two Korean actors ever to be honored with a hand and foot print ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
