Lee Yang-hee
Known for: Acting
After graduating Seoul Institute of the Arts, Yang Hee has performed in plays, musicals, TV shows, and films for over a span of 30 years. As a veteran actor in the Korean entertainment industry, his most recent notable projects include Kingdom (2019-2020) and Cicada (2020), the latter of which he has received critical acclaim for playing the leading role. Over the years, Yang Hee has come to be regarded as a highly skilled actor people recognize by face but not by name, as he has appeared as a supporting actor in the works of many prominent directors such as Lee Chang-dong and Lee Choong-Ryul.
