SEOUL, January 15 (AJP) - Actor Lee Byung-hun appeared on NBC's late-night talk show "Late Night with Seth Meyers" earlier this week, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from his latest films.
After walking on stage to loud cheers at a studio in New York on Tuesday, Lee recounted a few episodes from the set of award-winning director Park Chan-wook's film "No Other Choice," drawing laughter with witty answers that garnered repeated applause from the audience.
"I'm the type of person who asks a lot of questions. To portray my characters well, I often end up bugging directors about every tiny detail," Lee said.
Recalling that most directors usually accepted only a few of his ideas, he said, "While working on No Other Choice, [Park] used almost nine out of ten," which made him "feel good but also more responsible."
Lee's appearance on the primetime show comes amid his rising global recognition, having recently been named to The New York Times Magazine's list of "Great Performers," which honors outstanding actors.
