In 2011 Lee landed her first big-screen leading role in romantic comedy Couples.[11][12]

She, Danny Park and Kim Eui-sung starred in 992, a 13-minute film made by Wonsuk Chin using the iPhone 4S.[13] The short, which premiered at the 2012 Macworld and was streamed on YouTube, is named after the New Balance running shoes favored by the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs.[14][15]

Lee stepped in to host the SBS talk show Healing Camp, Aren't You Happy for one episode, after the father of friend and agency mate Han Hye-jin died in November 2012.[16][17]

From 2013 to 2014, Lee played one of the leading roles in Wang's Family, an ensemble family drama that received high ratings, peaking at 48.3%.[18][19][20] She next starred in police procedural Dr. Frost (2014) and romantic comedy Ex-Girlfriends' Club.[21]

I can't explain my particular experience of faith, and I always feel God's presence.". Her baptismal name is Maria.
