Debuting in the musical Grease in 2014, Lee established himself on the musical and theatrical stage with works like Runway Beat, Bare: The Musical, Infinite Power, Carbonated Boy, Thrill Me, In the Heights, and The Guardsman of Taj Mahal.

Lee's career in television began in 2017. Appearing in Prison Playbook (2017) and When the Camellia Blooms (2019) he solidified his position as scene-stealer through diverse acting transformations in each work. Taking on the role of the free-spirited dentist Yoon Jae-seok in Once Again (2020), Lee showcased a chemistry with Lee Cho-hee and earned the nickname of "Sadon Couple" (in-law couple). He continued to impress with roles in Youth of May (2021), Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021) and Bloodhounds (2023).
