Lee Chun-hee (born February 19, 1979) is a South Korean actor.
Career
[edit]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),[2] Three Fellas (also known as Bar Legend, 2006), Humming (2008), Beautiful (2008),[3] Barbie (2012),[4][5][6] and Collective Invention (2015).[7] He has also appeared on the small screen, notably in Conspiracy in the Court (2007),[8] Smile, You (2010), Gloria (2010),[9] Take Care of Us, Captain (2012),[10] the sitcom One Thousandth Man (2012),[11] and Dating Agency: Cyrano (2013).[12]
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."[13]
