Lee Byung-heon in Elle
by javabeans
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.

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.

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...

When is "I Come with the Rain" coming out? I cannot find a release date anywhere, except the one that says 2008. Anyone?
