Career

Lee made her acting debut in 2008 in a guest appearance on season 3 of the Super Action TV series Urban Legends Deja Vu, followed by the historical drama "The Kingdom of The Winds."

However, 2009 was the year she began to gain clout with several high-profile supporting roles. Lee played Sakurako Sanjo, who was mercilessly mocked for being homely as a young girl, then goes on and becomes a backstabbing mania to win the majority of her tormentor. In the surrogacy melodrama Loving You a Thousand Times, Lee played the mistress of a married man.

Five Senses of Eros was a five-day film, and three teenage couples decided to trade partners for 24 hours, starring Lee and her fellow up-and-coming actors Kim Dong-ki, Song Joong-ki, Shin Se-kyung, Jung Eui-chul, and Lee Sung-min. Lee Beom-soo, the 18th descendant of Hong Gil-dong, who also known as The Righteous Thief, is the 18th descendant of the Joseon-era Robin Hood, a Joseon-era Robin Hood who has passed down the custom of looting only from the wealthy and giving to the poor while keeping their private information private. She came to mainstream fame in 2009 when she appeared on We Got Married, a reality show about fake married couples, and was paired with Jun Jin of the boy band Shinhwa. Fans of the anime's "Gundam couple" began dating off-screen, making them the first couple to have a real person outside of the show. They did not break up in September 2009 after being dating for 6 months.

Entertainment Relay (also known as Entertainment Weekly), the longest-running entertainment news show on Korean television, began in 2010 (her stint ended in 2012). Despite mixed reviews of the film's initials, Born in Birth of the Rich (also known as Becoming a Billionaire), Lee was the most prominent in the cast and was lauded for her portrayal of a spoilt, Paris Hilton-esque chaebol heiress. She appeared in Playful Kiss, another manga adaptation based on a manga (in Itazura na Kiss), a haughty zealot of elegance who becomes the heroine's enemy in love later this year). Despite being antagonists in the story, Lee had a reputation for making her second-lead roles memorable and endearing in their own right, giving her characters a human, lovable facet.

Lee played her first leading role in the screwball romantic comedy Meet the In-Laws, which follows a comic book writer's (played by Song Sae-bye)'s attempt to marry his mother (Lee) after a long history of anison on both sides (the Korean word literally means "Dangerous Formal Greeting Between Families of the Bride and Bridegroom). With more than 2 million tickets sold, the In-Laws became the ninth top-grossing Korean film of 2011.

Couples, Lee's sequel to ensemble romantic comedy/caper film Couples, in which she once more showcased her physical comedy as a shameless gold digger. Despite critical praise for its skillfully constructed plot and twists, the film was less popular at the box office. Poseidon, Lee, together with Lee Sung-jae and Choi Si-won, were members of the Coast Guard special forces investigating maritime offences.

Lee converted her hair into a short perm for Wild Romance in 2012, portraying a tough bodyguard who shields an arrogant baseball player after he receives death threats (played by Lee Dong-wook). "I don't see many actresses who are good at tough action roles," Lee said. I'm hoping to fill the void" if I can. The series received low ratings but had a cult following.

Lee returned to the romantic comedy style in 2013 with "Instructions on How to Use Men," an overworked and undervalued assistant director who one day buys an inspirational film, "Instructions on How to Use Men," and reluctantly follows its instructions. She is transforming into a woman much-wanted after by both men, including a leading actress (played by Oh Jung-se). The film earned acclaim for its comedic timing and witty gags, the charismatic performances of its leads, and its discussion of gender inequality issues.

Killer Toon, a horror film in Korea, was released as the number one suspect after a string of murders that closely resemble her popular comics. The movie co-starring Um Ki-joon as the detective on the case, the crime scene in the film incorporates crime scenes with a CG animation. Lee said in an interview that she chooses roles if she is drawn to them and empathizes with the character. After A Tale of Two Sisters (2004) and Death Bell (2008), Killer Toon attracted more than 1 million viewers, just the third Korean horror film to do so.

In the drama series Golden Cross, Lee was depicted as a principled prosecutor. She appeared in The Divine Move, a film about a baduk player's hunt for revenge. Righteous Love from cable channel tvN, which later in the year, was followed by her character in which she has an extramarital affair.

Lee next appeared as a detective in the cable television series My Beautiful Bride, about a man looking for his fiancée who mysteriously disappears.

Lee appeared in MBC's action thriller The Guardians in 2017.

Lee returned to the small-screen after her engagement and childbirth with the medical drama Risky Romance, reuniting with Becoming a Billionaire co-star Ji Hyun-woo in 2018.

Lee appeared in No Mercy and in the family drama Liver or Die in 2019.

Lee joined Ace Factory, the new management company. Lee appeared in Sweet Home, an apocalyptic horror Netflix film series from the same year (TV series).

Lee never officially debuted as a singer, but she has made numerous of her films' soundtracks. In 2009, she appeared on a single track about then-boyfriend Jun Jin's EP Fascination. And after singing two songs on Honey Family's fifth album Resurrection in 2010, band member Park Myung-ho lauded Lee for her vocal skills.

She and Jay Park appeared in Music and Lyrics, an MBC Music reality show in which an actress and a male singer are paired together as lyricist and composer to create a song, showing their meetings and songwriting process. Polaris, the girl band Tiny-G's recording of the song, was released by the girl group Tiny-G.

Aside from her acting work, she also does poetry. Lee was an amateur boxer. Despite taking up the sport in her late 20s and battling opponents who are both older and younger in just three years, Lee established herself in the sport by winning a number of amateur titles in the 48-kg category.

She began boxing in early 2010 to prepare for her role as a female boxer in a MBC television drama, as well as training with Hong Soo-hwan, a former WBA bantamweight and super bantamweight champion. The drama ended up not being produced, but she became enamored of the subject. "I kept it up as a hobby and was told that I had a lot of potential," Lee said, so I worked really hard." I am now boxed in. "I became more honest and extroverted, with more confidence in who I am." She continued to exercise, lowering her body fat from 9.9 kg to 4.7 kg, and then started boxing competitively.

Lee's obsession with the sport fueled her employer's fear. She could have hurt herself, especially if she suffers facial injuries. "But no matter how much we try to convince her, she doesn't want to leave," a worker said.

Lee entered and won the 7th Annual Women's Amateur Boxing Championship in 2010, as well as the women's 50-kg category in the tenth KBI National Lifestyle Athletics Boxing Championship in November of the same year.

In the 7th National Amateur Boxing Championships in March, her momentum maintained throughout 2011. She captured the women's 48-kg category in the 47th Seoul Amateur Boxing Match in February and RSC (Referee Stopped Contest) in the 8th National Amateur Boxing Championships in March. Lee Seung-bae, the head coach of Korea's national boxing team, said Lee "has a really good left punch." Baek Seung-won said she has "the fire and the perfect body" to be a professional boxer, but "she's a bit old (to turn pro now). She later received the rookie of the year award for Seoul-based boxers.

In July 2012, more victories were posted in the women's 48-kg category in the 42nd Seoul Boxing Prematch/Amateur Boxing Federation and the 33rd President's Cup Amateur Boxing Competition.

She competed in the under-48 kg light flyweight category in the National Amateur Boxing Championships for the first time in 2012, ranking second in the 2013 first national qualifying round. The 28-year-old was the oldest national championships to date with a age limit of 17 to 34. However, Lee was disqualified in the final of the 66th National Amateur Boxing Championships.

She became the goodwill ambassador for the 2014 Asian Games, which will be hosted in Incheon in January 2013. She continued to show her deep dedication to the sport by joining the Incheon City boxing crew just short of joining. Lee underwent surgery for a fractured disk and sustained a knee injury, which meant she was unable to continue training, despite moving to Incheon, Seoul.

Lee captured the women's 48-kg championship at the 24th National Amateur Boxing Championships on April 24, 2013, making her the country's first mainstream entertainer/celebrity, male or female, to qualify as a national team athlete for any sport.

Lee said that she wanted to represent the country in the 2014 Asian Games and that she had aspired to win a medal. Since her weight class is not included in international competitions like the Asiad and the Olympics, she was able to jump to the heavier under-51 kg class. However, Lee was unable to participate in the Asian Games when she failed to qualify for the final tryouts in March 2014 (as well as the two previous ones). "She didn't have enough time to develop her skills for the match," Kim Won-chan, the Incheon City boxing team's chief, said. We'll continue to work on her fitness with the intention of qualifying her for the 2014 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships in Jeju Island.

Lee started preparing in 2015 for the first round tryouts for the national boxing team that will compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in her second attempt to represent Korea at a multi-sport event. However, repeated injuries, particularly a dislocated shoulder, which made her shift from anorthodox to a southpaw position, caused her to announce her retirement from the sport in September 2015.
