Lee was born in South Korea in 1959, and studied at Sogang University for his Bachelor of Arts and in Ohio State University to get his Master of Arts. He was the assistant director for Eyes of Dawn and also appeared as an extra. His first movie Doctor Bong was the biggest success in box office in Korea in 1995.[1]
Lee's 1999 film Ghost in Love (Jaguimo) was one of the leading films in the "new wave" of Korean cinema[2] around the turn of the millennium designed to produce blockbusters to rival Hollywood.[3]
In 2008 Lee was involved in controversy when he accused Kim Tae-kyun, the director of Crossing, of plagiarism.[4]
