In March 2011, Lee signed with Japanese label EMI Music Japan. Lee performed as male lead Daniel, rotating with Um Ki-joon, Ahn Jae-wook, Song Seung-hyun of FT Island and Lee Sungmin of Super Junior in the musical Jack the Ripper from July 5 to August 14, 2011, at Chungmu Arts Hall.^[3]

In September 2013, it was announced that Lee had been cast as Fiyero Tigelaar in the Korean production of the musical Wicked.^[4]

Personal life

In April 2021, Lee announced on his Instagram that he would marry his non-celebrity girlfriend. The wedding was intended to be held in October 2021,^[5] but had to be postponed to November 2021 due to COVID-19. The wedding took place on November 8, 2021.^[6]
