Actor Lee Byung Hun had a classy black and white photoshoot at the prestigious Studio Harcourt in France. The Studio Harcourt, known for its photoshoots of Hollywood's famous stars and outstanding personalities of France, was founded in 1934 by the Lacroix brothers. Currently located in Paris, the studio is known for its signature black and white headshot-type photos. This year had marked the first time that the Studio Harcourt planned specific shoots for Asian clients. As they were searching for a qualified male actor for the shoot, the studio heard the news that Lee Byung Hun was in France, in the midst of filming. The photoshoot was completed within a day. A photoshoot representative stated,

"Lee Byung Hun, who encompasses both Asia and Hollywood, is a supreme actor being the first Asian model at the Studio Harcourt. It is very strange that Lee Byung Hun just happened to be in France at the time. I think it wasn't an accident, it was inevitable."
