Lee Hyun Wook

Before Lee Hyun Wook debuted as an actor, he studied acting at the Korea National University of Arts. During this period, he had small acting in short movies like The Camel (2008).

After graduating, he landed slightly bigger roles in two different short movies, Thorn Hearted (2010) and The Out Boxer (2011).
