A very good look from Lee Byung-Hun. Love the beautiful blazer and gorgeous grooming. The shoes were a little heavy for the overall look, and I would choose a pair of sneakers instead, but that is just me. A very classic yet stylish look from Lee Byung-Hun, very very chic.

Copied this fan-highlight from LBH DC. It seems that filming of "The Insiders" may have started.. perhaps the scenes without the main cast. Thanks to mistymorning for the translated fan-description.
Somebody rang the door early in the morning, saying he's a movie staff, - I thought what a crook - but he said they're filming in the back of the house so it might become somewhat noisy, and gave this mug.
The left is the title of the movie "Insiders" on the right is LBH's signature, with a 'Thank you' note.
