In the United States, he is known for portraying Storm Shadow in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" and its sequel "G.I. Joe: Retaliation", and starring alongside Bruce Willis in "Red 2". Lee was the first South Korean actor to present an Oscar at the annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles and is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Lee and Ahn Sung Ki were the first South Korean actors to imprint their hands and footprints on the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. He graduated from Hanyang University with a major in French Literature and the Graduate School of Chung-Ang University with a major in Theater and Cinematography. In his spare time, Lee Byung Hun practices taekwondo. In addition to his native Korean, Lee speaks English, French and Mandarin Chinese fluently. Lee married actress Lee Min Jung on August 10, 2013, at the Grand Hyatt Seoul. The couple had briefly dated in 2006, then resumed their relationship in 2012. Lee's wife gave birth to their first child, a son, Lee Joon Hoo, on March 31, 2015. On August 28, 2014, Lee was blackmailed by singer Da Hee from K-pop girl group GLAM and model Lee Ji Yeon, who blackmailed him for 5 billion won in exchange for not releasing, on the internet, a compromising video of him making sexual jokes while drinking with them on July 3. In March, both women, who were in jail for six months, received a suspended sentence for two years following Lee's pardon request. Their second child was born on December 21, 2023.
