Check out Lee Byung-heon‘s rock-hard body, taken here from the pages of the January issue of Elle magazine.
Lee owes his fantastic physique (at least in part) to the work he’s been doing for his Hollywood debut in the upcoming year with two films, action flick G.I. Joe (with Dennis Quaid, Sienna Miller, Brendan Fraser) and cop thriller I Come With the Rain (with Josh Hartnett, Takuya Kimura). He plays the villain in both films, but if anyone can give his villains emotive flair, it’s Lee Byung-heon, who’s built his career on work like Bittersweet Life, All In, Addicted and, most recently, The Good, The Bad, The Weird (in which he played “The Bad”).
In the Elle interview, Lee said of his G.I. Joe role: “It was a very new experience. The movie mixes fantasy and science-fiction in a way Korean movies don’t, and it feels very experimental.” He also expressed the anticipation in showing a whole other side to himself. More than the sides to himself that we’re seeing here, that is.

Thanks javabeans for writing about this. ^^
hot
he’s my first ahjussi crush(though he doesn’t look a drop like that here) :X
lol perfectly shaped muscles o__O
that’s kinda creepy!!
Wow..another fine example who controlled his mind and menus with chicken breast and vegetables. *hint hint Rain*
he’s looking pretty darn good for his age too! *wheww
*nosebleeds and faints*
OMG! How the hell they feed themselves????
handsome and hot; look forward to these movies!
LBH’s upper and lower body are nicely balanced. Sometimes a man can work out too much and get all out of proportion. eg Rain whose head and face looks too small, his upper body too broad and the lower body too lanky.
LBH has a nice manly jaw, to go with the manly body unlike Rain whose face tends to look elf like.
Looking forward to I Come With The Rain. I saw a trailer sometime ago and LBH looks hot! I loved the director’s earlier work Smell of green Papaya and Cyclo with the impossibly cool Tony Leung. Takuya Kimura and LBH together is going to be such a treat. Josh Hartnett who? Not going to watch GI Joe…I already know it’s going to be bad.
WOW! o~O
Thanks for the Boxing Day eye-candy! ^ ^
This guy is really giving punch to aging gracefully.
There should be a law against posting pics of such hot bodies. I think I stared at the pic for about 5 minutes without being able to say a word. Lee Byung-heon is nowhere near my top ten of Korean guy crushes but damn doesn’t he look good…
Yum!!!
OH…MY…
super hot! XD
When is “I Come with the Rain” coming out? I cannot find a release date anywhere, except the one that says 2008. Anyone?
(Quote) “It was a very new experience. The movie mixes fantasy and science-fiction in a way Korean movies don’t, and it feels very experimental.”
Is he really talking about GI Joe?
HOT HOT BODY~ ^^
Kimura Takuya and Tony Leung. Three great actors together? Wow
count me in… i would like to see him all the time… i think an actors chance to shine is not limited to playing lead role but more on the character roles…. gosh i wish to see him personally…
Darn, what an eyeful! LOL @.@
his lower body is short of 2-3 inches.
oooooo…seems nice to touch…..*try to poke the 6 packs* ngaiti…!
