- A veteran performer who has been at the heart of the industry since the mid-1980s, LEE Geung-young is a well-known face to Korean viewers, having starred in over 60 features. Following roles in classic films such as <A Sketch of a Rainy Day> (1989) and CHUNG Ji-young’s <White Badge> (1992), he has continued to impress late into his career. Despite his reputation taking a huge hit following the revelation of a sex scandal involving a minor in 2002, LEE has steadily been able to regain his status as one of the Korea’s top actors. In 2011 he appeared in six films, including <Sunny>, <War of the Arrows>, <Hindsight> and <Countdown> while 2012 saw him take on even greater roles in as many as eight projects, including <Unbowed>, <The Concubine> and <A Company Man>. However his most impressive roles that year were in a pair of very controversial films that appeared at the end of the year: <National Security> and <26 Years>. Demonstrating his reliable status as a supporting star, LEE followed these roles in a number of blockbusters, including the summer 2013 hit <The Terror, LIVE> and the 2014 period blockbusters <Kundo: Age of the Rampant> and <Memories of the Sword>. LEE featured in no less than 10 films in 2014, which also included the swashbuckling hit <The Pirates>, as a villainous pirate, YIM Soon-rye’s <The Whistleblower>, in which he played a fraudulent stem cell researcher, and crime caper sequel <Tazza: The Hidden Card>. He was equally prolific the following year, featuring in HA Jung-woo’s <Chronicle of a Blood Merchant>, CHOI Dong-hoon’s <Assassination> and the war film <The Long Way Home>, among others. 2015 ended in a big way for LEE, appearing as a crooked presidential candidate in popular thriller <Inside Men>. The next year was him take on a tongue-in-cheek role lampooning director PARK Chan-wook in <The Great Actor>. close
