- Biography
- A role in the sitcom <Here He Comes> in 2008 gave LEE Kwang-Soo his debut. In 2009 he caught many people’s attention in <Through the Roof High Kick!> as a boarder because of his height and his unusual looks. He was also cast in <Dongyi> in which he tried his hand at traditional drama. Since 2010 he was selected as one of the first members of <Running Man> and is displaying his talent with his affable charm all the while showcasing his diversity as a performer. Active in TV, movies and even commercials, LEE appeared in supporting parts in hits such as <All About My Wife> (2012). In 2014, he was afforded a chance to play a leading role, not to mention a dramatic one in the drama thriller <Confession>. Largely ignored before its release, the film became a surprise critical success, received an invitation to the Toronto International Film Festival and showcased LEE’s versatility as a performer. LEE next starred in the high concept romcom <Mutant>, alongside PARK Bo-young.
