Career
Lee Chun-hee made his acting debut in the movie A Good Lawyer's Wife in 2003 and has since starred in several big screen roles such as The Aggressives (2005),[1] Three Fellas (also known as Bar Legend, 2006), Humming (2008), Beautiful (2008),[2] Barbie (2012),[3][4][5] and Collective Invention (2015).[6] He has also appeared on the small screen, notably in Conspiracy in the Court (2007),[7] Smile, You (2010), Gloria (2010),[8] Take Care of Us, Captain (2012),[9] the sitcom One Thousandth Man (2012),[10] and Dating Agency: Cyrano (2013).[11]
Chun-hee earned the nickname "Chunderella" from his stint on variety show Family Outing, because the other cast members picked on him for being awkward and clumsy, particularly Kim Su-ro (nicknamed "Stepmother Kim"). He later shed that image on variety show Adrenaline, when his expertise with camping equipment led him to being called "ChunGyver."[12]
Personal life
Chun-hee married the Smile, You co-star Jeon Hye-jin on March 11, 2011.[13][14] Their daughter, Lee So-yu, was born on July 30, 2011.[15]
