Although he is more known as Kim Tae Hee’s brother, Lee Wan is still a charming actor.

In the 2000s, Lee Wan was a promising young actor. He has both the looks and skills. However, him being related to an A-list actress at Kim Tae Hee’s level made it difficult for the public to remember him as just an actor without mentioning his sister.
