"I received awards and adoration from many fans for the movie"Masquerade". It brought me a lot of happy moments. This is so far the biggest award that I have ever received in my life", he said.

"People call me a world-class actor, but it sounds like someone else, not me. It sounds more like their wishes that I would become a world-famous actor, so I will do my best to meet their expectations and make good films", Lee said.
