Biography
Early life
Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea on June 28, 1993. His family consists of his father, mother and one older sister. He finished his high school at Paikyang High School and majored in theater in Chung-Ang University's Institute of the Arts.
Lee became an actor because it was his father's dream before but couldn't pursue it. He started playing soccer as a rebellion against his parents wish for him to pursue acting. He became the captain of his middle school's soccer team, and was awarded top score in 2008 Seoul FC Junior Championship Cup scoring 10 goals in a game. He wanted to become a professional soccer player, but eventually upon entering high school, he came to realize what acting was like and fully embraced it.
Lee Tae-ri considered using a stage name because many confused him with the City Hunter's Lee Min-ho but his parents disapproved of the idea and said that instead of changing his name, he should work harder to be recognized.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
