Jillibean Dec 01 2025 12:50 am I read an article on his passing: he worked script in hand until the end. He will be missed. Saw him in twenty dramas over the years. Rest in peace, great actor.

Chris Nov 27 2025 6:57 pm R.I.P a great great actor

Ayo ❤️ Nov 26 2025 11:40 am Still in our heart !

Christina Nov 25 2025 12:03 am Just three days ago, I came across a reel on Instagram showing him crying when he received a Daesang award. At the time, I wished him a long life, but God clearly loves him more !

Erra Nov 24 2025 11:00 pm RIP, Haraboji... Your work will always be remembered forever.

XXXHYPERVENTILATEXXX Nov 24 2025 10:09 pm Thank you for being the nations Grandpa. Now, every time we rewatched your shows, we know there's a legend acting in there.

Saigpn Noona Nov 24 2025 7:22 pm You will be missed Sir. Thank you for gracing both the small and big screens with your presence.

Anie Nov 24 2025 6:31 pm RIP sir . Thanks for your hard work

Kathr Jul 06 2025 10:35 pm Mr. Lee Soon-Jae will be 90 years old this coming October. He is amazing. When most of us don't live that long, here he is acting, learning lines, walking without aid (i.e. walker, wheelchair), being quite physical . He puts most of us to shame. I'd like to know his secret for being so healthy .

Reese Apr 09 2025 10:50 am Great Actor! Enjoy every masterpiece that you've made. Respect!

Marga Nov 06 2024 1:43 am I really enjoy your dramas and your acting. I recently finished Dog Knows Everything. I love seeing how you're still able to do your passion at almost 90 and I hope you get a grand prize soon. Please stay healthy❤️

Helen Oct 26 2013 1:34 am Dear Lee Soon-Jae, Thank you, thank you, finally I found the trailers about you. The first time I watch you role as King Yeongjo of Joseon, in Yi San, I was wondering who is this actor, and I started searching more about you then I found you role as Doctor Yoo in Heo Joon, you are truly amazing actor, really like in reality. I'm going to watch all your drama I hope I could find them. I'm little bit confuse about your birthday, on AsianWiki your birthday is Oct 10, '35, but in the trailers is 1943? Happy Belated Birthday, I'm wishing you always in good health and long life. All the best for you & family. Thank you, Much love from Sweden.

sara Jul 29 2013 6:17 am you are a very good and outstanding actor which brought life to every single characters you performed. thank you for all those beautiful characters. especially in Drama"princess' love". and" beethoven virus" whish you healthy life and luck

CICI Mar 29 2013 5:35 pm Dear Lee Soon-Jae, You were wonderful as usual in Horse Doctor and brought such dignity to your character. I have seen so many of your films and you are truly inspiring. There is also something about the warmth you always have in your characters that whenever I watch you in a drama, I feel like I'm home.

maddie Feb 25 2013 11:00 pm Please accept my sincere admiration. You have such an accomplished life and your characters are always so well done. What a priviledge to be at the receiving end of such talent.... By sharing yourself with the rest of us, definitely, your life and words have had an impact in my life that words can't even express. Thank you.

Ellsy Feb 11 2013 3:54 pm 당신의 행동에 대해 당신에게 선생 감사합니다!

Hope I said the right words! Thank you!

Anne Lindberg Nov 29 2012 1:34 pm Greetings from Sweden. You are a great actor. Not just doing your part in the story, but as you play your role you do it with both lyrics, bodylanguage and face expression that all together makes your character a powerful pillar in the drama/show you are in. May you stay healthy many years from now so I can enjoy your work.

bluepeas Oct 06 2012 2:41 am I love seeing him in Korean shows! He's such a good and memorable actor ..matter of fact Korea has so many amazing actors! I rather watch their dramas then the soaps we have here in the U.S ..better story-lines & writers too

kim Aug 26 2012 11:15 am i have watched high kick and late blossom....he was really good and funny

tncdel Aug 22 2012 5:25 pm Possibly the best Korean actor when it comes to portraying patriarch type roles.

lee Apr 24 2012 2:19 pm the king 2 hearts - I hate you in this role - not like you play a bad person !!!!!!

asiandaddict Apr 08 2012 1:40 am What I've noticed in his roles were mostly the powerful one in the drama. as you can see, most of them were king if it were Saguek and CEO if not. In addition, president of Korea if it talked about the government. You must have been one of the greatest Korean Actor during your younger years. More power to you!!!

Gasenadi Mar 08 2012 6:16 am Did you see that LIST?! What a portrayal of the King in Yi San! I hated him, I cursed him, I pitied him, I cried for him. And that Star Date interview is a cinema buff's dream, with all the classics he's worked on and his placing the industry in context. Many blessings from an appreciative fan in Puerto Rico.

iLLusiOnEr Feb 19 2012 3:01 am If there is a Hall of Fames in Korea, he's ought to be one of them.

ko Jun 21 2011 12:07 am he's awesome! even he's 75 yrs old he still look young and energetic^^ also very good at playing dramas great job~ ♥
