New comer Philip Lee (이필립) has been getting a lot of attention lately.
Lee (28) is fluent in both English and Korean and is currently in the KBS drama The Slingshot (Story of a Man). He enters the scene at the end of episode 4 and plays the character Do Jae-myung the son of a man who was murdered by villain Chae Do-woo (Kim Kang-woo). Young master Do returns from U.S. to attend his father's funeral and upon suspecting that his father is murdered, vows to seek revenge.
The Slingshot is only Lee's second drama. He debuted in the 2007 MBC drama The Legend (Taewangsashinki) staring opposite hallyu star Bae Yong-joon. Despite being so new in the entertainment industry, Lee has begun to attract a lot of attention in Japan and fans have requested for a fan meeting. This is unprecedented for such a rookie actor.
Women in Korea are not immune to Lee's charms either. His fans recently showed the actor how much they love him by creating a replica of him on his birthday cake. The replica shows Lee (in a scene from The Slingshot) where he lounges on the sofa mourning over his dad's death, clad in what looks like batik pants. They presented the cake to him on his birthday which falls on the 26th May.
