Lee Byung Hun revealed why he never chose an English name for his advancement into Hollywood.

He recently held an interview with SBS' 'One Night of TV Entertainment'. During the interview, they talked about his new movie 'G.I. Joe 2'.

He said, "I could have changed my name to English, but I didn't. I filmed my movie in the United States, but I thought the Korean crowd would be more proud if I used a Korean name. The American staff members call me 'Byung'. I told them to make it 'Hyung' if it was too hard. I feel good when they pronounce my name, even if it's difficult for them."

Lee Byung Hun added, "I'm proud that the way the American staff and actors treated me changed. I felt proud because I felt like they were admitting my talents. I hope 'G.I. Joe 2' is popular in Korea. Of course, Korean movies should do well, but please give love to the American movie that I starred in as well."
