The last time I was in Tokyo I went to see Lee Byung Hun's concert. I was
sitting in the front row. It was really fun. I went backstage to meet him after
because I've been talking to him about doing a play in Korea and then
bringing that play to Japan. He's such a nice guy. He's very smart and easy
to talk to. He speaks perfect English. I think it would be great to work with
him. Once when I was driving in my car in Beverly Hills, I saw him on the
street. I wanted to stop to say hello but it was impossible. When I told him
about that incident he was so surprised that I recognized him. I told him
that I had seen many of his movies. He was really happy and surprised.

I got a message from Lee Byung Hun's cousin who also works as his
manager, that they're in LA and they wanted to meet for dinner.
But I'm in Tokyo so I guess dinner will have to wait. His cousin's name is
Charles and he looks a bit like Lee Byung Hun. He's a very nice guy who
went to college in America and speaks English like an American. I would
guess that they come from a lovely family. They are both very warm and
friendly and they are both really intelligent. Lee Byung Hun told me that
he was so nervous when he had to go onstage for his concert. He forgot
his dance steps and he messed up a bit on the piano. He felt so embarrassed
but he said it was because he felt so scared about being on stage in front
of a live audience. He said he knew how to do all those things perfectly well
but once he hit the stage, everything went out of his head. I assured him
that it didn't matter at all. I told him that he seemed very poised and that
his charm and warm personality endeared the audience to him and that we
were all totally won over by him. I think he's a wonderful actor. I especially
liked him in ADDICTED, that's the English title. I don't know for sure what
it is in Japanese. I think he'd be great on stage. And I know it would be
exciting to work with him. I suggested a play to him that I think he'd be
very powerful in. Sorry, but I can't say now what it is. Any guesses? Credits

"Lee was more blunt than I had imagined but then also (at times) more kind than I had imagined. Which is why I can't make out what kind of person Lee is," Su Ae said with a laugh. SOURCE

At any rate, I would like to mention that every time I have met Lee Byung-hun, he has always been very suave, mellow and a gentleman. I cannot claim to be friends with him or know him well, but he strikes me as being one of the good guys.
