Career

Born in 1970, Lee studied architecture at Yonsei University. He was assistant director to Bong Joon-ho for Memories of Murder (2003) and wrote scripts for a long period of time. His script for his directorial feature debut horror film Possessed (2009) was the most talked-about script in the local film industry due to its unique idea and well-conceived plot. The film won critical praise but stumbled at the box office. His second feature Architecture 101 (2012) "captured viewers' attention and earned critical plaudits with its restrained style and well drawn characters."[2][3][4][5]

Awards
gollark: But schools really do like the whole "memorizing random stuff" thing.
gollark: You would HOPE so.
gollark: My school (not university, I think the equivalent is high school or something elsewhere) is handling it *somewhat* okay, but possibly partly because it would mostly be revision for the (now cancelled) GCSEs anyway at this point.
gollark: Surely at least part of the point of the grades you get from school/whatever is to show that you're actually qualified to do whatever subject it is.
gollark: That sounds like it would basically make the grades for the year meaningless.
