Lee Chun-hee
South Korean actor (born 1979)
Lee Chun-hee (born February 19, 1979) is a South Korean actor.
01Career
Lee Chun-hee made his acting debut in the movie A Good Lawyer's Wife in 2003 and has since starred in several big screen roles such as The Aggressives (2005), Three Fellas (also known as Bar Legend, 2006), Humming (2008), Beautiful (2008), Barbie (2012), and Collective Invention (2015). He has also appeared on the small screen, notably in Conspiracy in the Court (2007), Smile, You (2010), Gloria (2010), Take Care of Us, Captain (2012), the sitcom One Thousandth Man (2012), and Dating Agency: Cyrano (2013).
Lee earned the nickname "Chunderella" from his stint on variety show Family Outing, because the other cast members picked on him for being awkward and clumsy, particularly Kim Soo-ro (nicknamed "Stepmother Kim"). He later shed that image on variety show Adrenaline, when his expertise with camping equipment led him to being called "ChunGyver."
