Lee Ha-na (born September 23, 1982) is a South Korean actress. Lee made her acting debut in Alone in Love (2006), and has since starred in Women of the Sun (2008), Triple (2009), The Fair Love (2010), R2B: Return to Base (2012), High School King of Savvy (2014), Unkind Ladies (2015), The Exclusive: Beat the Devil's Tattoo (2015) and Voice (2017). She also hosted the music program Lee Ha-na's Peppermint from 2008 to 2009.
Lee Ha-na was born in Irwon bon-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul. Her father is a composer, best known for folk-rock legend Kim Kwang-seok's signature song "Become Dust."
In 2008, she graduated from the College of Music at Dankook University (Cheonan campus) with a degree in Life Musicology.
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.
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 Me-ri vs. Dae-gu's Attack and Defense Battle (also known as Merry Mary), a quirky romance between a mediocre singer and a failed novelist. 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.
