Lee Dong Gun started as a singer in the Korean entertainment business a few years ago. He released two albums, namely: “Beautiful Beginning” and “Much More”. Although, he was given the much needed attention when he debuted, his popularity as a singer did not make quite a long lasting impression.
His acting career began when he guested in the Korean sitcom “Three Friends”. Though, his stint here was just short, it shed new lights for his career.
He once said that his singing career was like a wheel. Sometimes he’s up and sometimes he’s down. If it wasn’t for acting, he would have left the entertainment business. He said that probably he was never meant to be a singer. So now, he is very much into improving his acting career.
