Lee Beom Soo is a South Korean actor managed by Y1 Entertainment. He made his acting debut in the 1990 film "Yes, Let's Look Up At the Sky Now and Again". Following his debut, he appeared in films including "The Ginkgo Bed", "City of the Rising Sun", "The Anarchists", "Jungle Juice" and "Wet Dreams", but it was the 2003 film "Singles" that elevated him into the first rank among movie stars. The Korean press has dubbed him "The Little Giant of Chungmuro" (the Korean equivalent of Hollywood).

In 2003, he married Park, who was a companion of his university. They divorced just four months later.

Lee Beom Soo remarried in 2010 to Lee Yoon Jin, who was his English tutor. Their daughter Lee So Eul was born in 2011, and their son Lee Da Eul was born in 2014.
