Dong Gun Lee

[Edit]
Overview
Lee Dong-gun (baptismal name Emmanuel, born July 26, 1980, Kangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea) is a South Korean actor. Lee made his debut in 1998 as an actor and singer. However, he has long since given up his singing career. Lee once stated that his singing career was like a wheel; sometimes he's up and sometimes he'd down, and if it weren't for his successful acting career, he would have already left the entertainment business. He was enrolled in the Department of Theatre and Cinema at Hanyang University but was recently expelled for his low attendance record.

Lee decided to take a break from acting in 2006 claiming he felt overwhelmed with his workload in both television and film. He resumed his acting career in 2007.

It is speculated that Lee is somewhat fluent in Japanese because he has repeatedly used the language while acting in Friends (2002) and Stained Glass (2005).
