The report of Lee’s disappearance prompted a search, which led to his discovery. The harsh drug laws in South Korea include a maximum term of six months in jail or fourteen years in prison for repeat offenders and traffickers.

In 2021, he starred in the lead role of Apple TV‘s inaugural Korean-language original series. Lee is married to Jeon Hye-jin, an award-winning actress, and the two of them have two kids.
