Biography

LEE had been acclaimed for his short films and music videos since his years at New York University. After graduation, he returned to Korea to write and direct his first feature film "The Cut Runs Deep" (1998) and the film was praised for its originality in terms of the visual and direction, which was rarely seen in Korean films back then. In 2004, LEE completed his second feature "A Moment to Remember" starring JEONG Woo-seong and SON Ye-jin. The film was a traditional melo-drama, totally different from his first work. The film recorded more than 3 million admissions and proved that LEE has an excellent talent in directing various genres. The movie made a huge success in Japanese cinemas and led him to direct his latest film, a Korean-Japanese co-production film "Sayonara Itsuka" based on the novel with the same title by a popular Japanese writer TSUJI Hitonari. Filmed with NAKAYAMA Miho ( "Love Letter" ) and NISHIJIMA Hidetoshi ( "Dolls" ) as main cast, the film is scheduled for release in Japan early this year. LEE is currently represented by CAA.
