Lee Seung-yeon Biography

Lee Seung-yeon is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on August 18, 1968 in Hoehyeon-Dong, South Korea. Lee Seung-yeon (born August 18, 1968) is a South Korean actress and talk show host.

In April 2002, Lee was implicated in a hit and run because she owned the vehicle driven by Kim Mo-sshi, son of celebrity Jang Young-ja. Since her costar Lee Geung-young was also being investigated at the time for having sex with a minor, both scandals caused their film Forgive Me Once Again Despite Hatred (also known as Love Me Once Again 2002 or Again) to flop at the box office.

On February 12, 2004 Lee, and companies Lototo Inc. and Netian Entertainment held a press conference to announce their plan to sell erotic photographs and videos of Lee posing as a comfort woman over the Internet, starting in March. “Comfort women” is the Japanese term for women who were forced to serve as their armies’ sex slaves during World War II. The first part of the project was shot on Palau Island in the Pacific, where real comfort women were taken, with the next phases planned in Nepal and Japan. They declared they did this to return the issue to the spotlight and that part of the profits would go to surviving comfort women. A few photographs were released, showing a semi-nude Lee bathing in the sea, sleeping on the floor, and wearing somewhat revealing white clothes, with dirt on her face.

Despite the acclaim for 3-Iron, the comfort women controversy had a lasting negative effect on Lee’s career, and it would take two more years before she made her acting comeback in Kim Soo-hyun’s Love and Ambition in 2006.

In May 1998, Lee was found to have illegally obtained a driver’s license without going through the requisite tests and seminars. She was sentenced to one year’s probation and 80 hours of community service. Because of public disapproval regarding the incident, her drama Heart of Lies was cut short, and she lost roles she had been previously cast in to Yoo Ho-jeong (Trap of Youth) and Lee Young-ae (Invitation).
