Lee Dong-gun (baptised Emmanuel, born July 26, 1980, Kangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea) is a South Korean actor. Lee made his debut as an actor and singer in 1997. Currently, he is enrolled in the Department of Theatre and Cinema at Hanyang University.[1]

Lee has stated that he will take a break from acting in 2006 because he feels overwhelmed with his workload in TV and film. He will resume acting in 2007.

He once said that his singing career was like a wheel. Sometimes he’s up and sometimes he’s down. If it wasn’t for acting, he would have left the entertainment business. He said that probably he was never meant to be a singer. So now, he is very much into improving his acting career.

He seems to be fluent at Japanese because he spoke a bit of Japanese when he was acting Friends 2002 and Stained Glass.
