Veteran Actor Lee Hae-young Joins CLN Company for a Fresh Start

Veteran actor Lee Hae-young (55), known for his long-standing collaboration with director Jang Jin, has announced a new chapter in his career after parting ways with Film It Suda.

On the 4th, CLN Company stated, “We have signed an exclusive contract with actor Lee Hae-young, who exudes a unique charisma and solid acting skills, leaving a strong presence in every project. We will provide full support to help him showcase his talents across various fields.”

Lee Hae-young began his acting career in 1989 through theater and has since built an extensive filmography with impressive performances in dramas like 'Stranger 2' and the 'Voice' series, as well as films such as 'The Admiral: Roaring Currents', the 'Confidential Assignment' series, and 'Kingmaker'.

Notably, he left a lasting impression with his roles as the corrupt cop Shin Young-jun in the Netflix series 'The Glory' and the legendary swordsman Hwang Yang-jung in 'Bloodhounds'. Currently, he is receiving much acclaim for his intense performance in the ongoing ENA drama 'Honor: Her Court'.

Lee Hae-young is set to continue his busy schedule with a confirmed role in the new SBS drama 'There's a Chance'. The series follows Kwon Baek (played by Lee Je-hoon), a former lawyer turned office manager, who leads a ragtag law office to turn seemingly unwinnable cases into victories in a comedic legal detective story.

In the drama, Lee Hae-young will portray Lee Moo-jin, the head of South Korea's top law firm 'Mujin'. Despite his powerful, influential, and reputable status, he hides a ruthless nature and will engage in intense power struggles with Lee Je-hoon's character, adding significant tension to the storyline.

CLN Company, which Lee Hae-young has joined, also represents actors Go Kyung-pyo, Kim Mi-kyung, Ryu Deok-hwan, Park Se-young, Seo Young-joo, Son Yeo-eun, Ahn Ji-ho, Yang Jung-a, Lee Soo-mi, and Tang Jun-sang.
