Career

His notable works include songwriting for and singing in ‘Beast is the B2ST’ in 2009, ‘My Story’ in 2010, ‘Good Luck’ in 2014, ‘Time’ IN 2014, ‘Ordinary’ in 2015, ‘Highlight’ in 2016, ‘Can You Feel It?’ in 2017 and ‘ONE’ in 2017.

Lee has also appeared in some television shows, debuting in 2009 as a supporting actor on MBC's ‘High Kick Through the Roof’.
