Career
[edit]Lee Do-yeop revealed that his was interested to become actor after watching Charlie Chaplin and Tom Hanks. He took the bold step of moved to Seoul in pursuit of his dream. After facing initial challenges, he managed to secure a position with a film company and began his acting career with a movie directed by Park Chan-wook titled Trio.[4][5]
Lee came to the realization that he couldn't neglect his education while pursuing his acting career. Therefore, at the age of 27, he made the decision to enroll in school and discovered a newfound enjoyment in the process of learning. Over time, he successfully obtained a bachelor's, master's, and even a doctoral degree. Throughout his academic journey, those around him suggested that he consider a career as a professor. Although he didn't actively pursue this path, he couldn't help but wonder if their encouragement had influenced his thoughts.[4]
Concurrently, he actively participated in various stage plays, which served as a solid groundwork for honing his acting abilities. Lee then renowned both as an actor and director in the theater industry. In 2007, he directed "The Guy Meets Her," a contemporary adaptation of Anton Chekhov's one-act comedy.[6][7] Additionally, he helmed "The Proposal" in 2011, another modern interpretation of Chekhov's work.[8][9]
As he immersed himself in the world of theater, he also began watching dramas and felt a desire to explore this medium. It was during this period that the idea of trying his hand at acting in dramas first crossed his mind.[4]
Lee gained recognition for his involvement in a family commercial that received the Korean Advertising Award in 2009. This thoughtfully crafted advertisement adopts a documentary-style approach, capturing the journey of bringing new life into the world and showcasing the growth of a mother and her baby.[6]
On February 26, 2020, Lee signed an exclusive contract with Fn Entertainment.[10]
Personal life
[edit]In January 2008, Lee Do-yeop married Jeon Su-ah, a fellow theater actress and his junior at Sejong University. Their relationship started while performing together in the play "A Beauty Salon for 10 Pyeong," and after just six months, they decided to tie the knot.[6]
In December 2008, Woongjin Coway, a company, held auditions for couples expecting a baby. Over 200 couples applied, but only three, including Lee Do-yeop and Jeon Su-ah, were chosen for a commercial shoot. On December 27, 2008, Jeon Su-ah gave birth to their son naturally. The commercial showing the birth of their son, Lee Si-hoo, became very popular. People loved the baby so much that he even earned the nickname "nation's baby."[6]
