Lee's first acting experience was in the lead role in the TV series Asphalt My Hometown. After the film "Tomorrow Love", the actor acquired an army of fans and especially female fans. They began to call him the Korean Brad Pitt, largely due to the appearance that modeling agencies and publishers of sports magazines would like: weight - 72 kg, height - 178 cm, steel press and thin facial features.

Later, in addition to his practice, Lee Byung Hun graduated from Chung-Ang University with a degree in Theater and Cinematography.

Lee Byung Hun woke up famous after the release of the military drama United Security Zone, directed by Cannes Film Festival winner Park Chang Wook. Lee played a member of the South Korean army who was kidnapped by a neighboring party in the demilitarized zone. However, the investigation reveals details that do not agree with the sergeant's version. For this role, as well as for the drama "Wa-Bank," Lee Byung Hun was awarded the Best Actor award.

In 2004, Lee Byung Hun starred in the comedy "Everyone Has Secrets." In the film, which can be considered erotic due to the number of explicit scenes, the actor's character has an affair with 3 sisters.

A year later, Lee Byung Hun signed with the Creative Artists Agency, an American acting agency dedicated to taking the Korean out of national cinema. The result was not long in coming. Two works - "Bittersweet Life" and "The Good, the Bad, the Fucked Up" - were included in the programs of the Cannes Film Festivals.

The actor became the reason for the sleepless nights of his colleague in the melodrama Song Hye Kyo, after which the girl promised herself not to mess with the artists.

While filming Iris, Lee met gymnast Kwon Miyeon, forced her to quit sports and persuaded her to get married. However, when Kwon, who lived in Canada, came to Korea, her lover began to hide from her.

The athlete is rumored to have had an abortion. The film company, in an attempt to whitewash Lee Byung Hun, switched the "arrows" to Kang Byung Koo, a TV star with a dubious reputation, and his fiancée, who was friends with Kwon Miyeon. The situation looked as if the failed gymnast had coveted the actor's money. The case ended in court, in which the influential film studio got out of the water.

In the fall of 2014, the actor complained to the police about the girls who blackmailed him with some recording of a conversation on intimate topics. The public was outraged by both the fact that the recording was made public and the content of the conversation. Lee Min Jung's particularly jealous fans urged her to divorce her husband. As a result, the blackmailers - singer Kim Dahi and model Lee Ji Yong - received a prison sentence and were fined.
