Biography
Lee Jong-suk's transition from runway to screen became a template for Korean celebrity careers. Born September 14, 1989, in South Korea, he started as a model in 2005. His first major acting breakthrough came through television: School 2013 (2012) and I Can Hear Your Voice (2013) marked him as a rising dramatic talent. He sustained that momentum across a decade of prime-time dramas—Doctor Stranger (2014), Pinocchio (2014), W (2016), While You Were Sleeping (2017)—each role cementing his appeal across multiple genres. Big Mouth (2022) brought him into later-career projects that still commanded significant viewership. Virgo-born and a life-path 5 (the communicator), his career trajectory reflects that numerological restlessness—constant pivots between genres, between television and film, between masculine and vulnerable roles. Male actors in South Korea often navigate a narrow range of acceptable personas; Lee instead built a filmography that refused easy categorization.
