Early life

Lee Ha-na was born in Irwon bon-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul. Her father Lee Dae-heon is a composer, best known for folk-rock legend Kim Kwang-seok's signature song "Become Dust."^[2]

In 2008, she graduated from the College of Music at Dankook University (Cheonan campus) with a degree in Life Musicology.

Career

Lee Ha-na first appeared in a commercial for telecom KTF's "umbrella service" in 2005. A year later, she made a memorable acting debut in the critically acclaimed television drama Alone in Love, as the extremely odd younger sister of the female protagonist.^[3]

She played another supporting role as a small-time swindler in When Spring Comes in 2007. Later that year, Lee was cast in her first leading role in Merry Mary (also known as Me-ri vs. Dae-gu's Attack and Defense Battle), a quirky romance between a mediocre singer and a failed novelist.^[4] This was followed by her big screen debut in Le Grand Chef, a film adaptation of Huh Young-man's manhwa Sikgaek, in which Lee played a TV producer who teams up with an aspiring chef.^[5]

Unlike her previous cheerful roles, Lee surprised critics and audiences in 2008 when she played a darker character in Women of the Sun (also known as Sisters in Love).^[6] In the melodrama, her character wreaks revenge when she learns that her older adopted sister abandoned her (when she was a five-year-old child) at a train station out of jealousy, causing her to grow up impoverished in an orphanage.^[7] Lee won an Excellence Award at the year-end KBS Drama Awards.

From November 21, 2008 to April 17, 2009, she was the host/MC of the live music program Lee Ha-na's Peppermint.^[8] Before she turned to acting, Lee had early aspirations of becoming a singer, so aside from introducing and interviewing guests, she frequently performed on the show, sometimes accompanying herself on the guitar or piano.^[9]

Lee then underwent training for her role as a figure skating coach in Triple, who finds herself in a love triangle with her ex-husband and his best friend who pursues her.^[10][11] This led to her doing the narration for Queen Yuna! I am Korea, a TV documentary on Olympic-winning figure skater Yuna Kim, that aired on MBC. Lee was also the narrator for Dance of Time, a documentary film directed by Song Il-gon about the Korean diaspora in Cuba.

In 2010, Lee was cast opposite veteran actor Ahn Sung-ki in Shin Yeon-shick's film The Fair Love. She played a twentysomething college student who after her father's death, embarks on an awkward yet endearing love affair with his friend, a bachelor in his fifties.^[12][13] This was followed in 2012 by the aviation action film Return to Base, a remake of Shin Sang-ok's 1964 film Red Scarf.^[14]

After a five-year absence from the small screen, Lee returned in High School King of Savvy, a 2014 cable romantic comedy about a high school student who masquerades as an executive at his brother's IT company; she played a temp who shows him the ropes.^[15][16][17]

In 2015, Lee was cast in the film Journalist, about the ruthless and at times unethical world of news reporting.^[18] In the same year, she also starred in KBS2's drama Unkind Ladies,^[19] which marked her 3rd time collaboration with screenwriter Kim In-young, after 2007s Merry Mary and 2008s Women of the Sun.

In 2017, Lee starred in OCN's drama Voice as a policewoman with an enhanced sense of hearing.^[20] The drama was a hit, and its ratings broke existing OCN viewership records when it aired in Korea.^[21][22] She then filmed comedy film Summer Vacation.^[23]

In 2018, Lee left L&Company and signed with new management agency Saram Entertainment.^[24] Lee reprised her lead female role in Voice 2, the sequel to OCN's drama Voice.^[25][26] Despite the shorter run, Voice 2 surpassed the first season's ratings and eventually became the highest-rated OCN drama.^[27] That same year, Lee was appointed as an honorary member of the police force by South Korea's National Police Agency.^[28]
