My guess is also right! He was born in USA, no wonder he was good in English!!! I was surprised to hear a Korean guy speaking English fluently so I checked on him and ended up in this site.

his main job is probably an engineer. that's why he doesn't take on main roles.

Wow! I just finished watching Secret Garden. I usually can't sit through Kdramas, but somehow I was able to for this one and I'm glad I did because it was really good. I guess I could say I was magically captivated (as cheesy and corny as it sounded) I really enjpyed watching this drama. I was instantly drawn to Phillip Lee and when I heard him speak perfect English, I suspected he must have been born in America. True enough as I looked him up, he is. He's very accomplished, seeing the information provided about his background and not only is he a very accomplished person, but he's very handsome. I wish him many more success and I'm now a fan of his. I can't get enough of this sexy man. <3

OKAY so the reason I googled him is because I was wondering why he speaks English so well (probably the same reason as with you guys).
HAHAHAHAHA. YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT ABOUT THAT. I paused watching Secret Garden just to do a background check of him right after I heard him speak english so well! LOL!
