Lee Young-ha (born January 17, 1950) is a South Korean actor. He was a theater actor from 1969 until 1977, when he made his onscreen debut. Best known for his leading roles in Pillar of Mist, We Are Going to Geneva Now, and Only Because You Are a Woman, Lee remained active in film and television for the next three decades. In 2010 he returned to the stage to star in the Hur Jin-ho-directed play A Nap.[3]

Lee was married to actress Sunwoo Eun-sook for 26 years until their divorce in 2007. One of their two sons, Lee Sang-won, is also an actor. Lee and Sunwoo both enjoyed the spotlight in the 1970s and 1980s and got married in 1981 at the peak of their careers.
