Lee discusses how cultural context shapes performance — how restraint, intensity, and silence function differently across genres and audiences. Rather than chasing visibility, he emphasizes intention, choosing roles that challenge comfort rather than reinforce image.
The conversation reveals an actor deeply aware of storytelling’s global shift. As Korean film and television gain international prominence, Lee positions himself not as a symbol, but as a craftsman focused on longevity.
