In 1995, Lee, who was a member of Roo'ra at the time, attempted suicide following allegations that one of their songs plagiarized Ninja's debut song Omatsuri.[8]

On June 19, 2004, Lee married actress and singer Lee Hye-young,[9][10] whom he met in the U.S. in 1996 and dated for seven years.[11][12] However, on August 8, 2005, the couple divorced, stating personality differences.[13][14] In August 2006, Lee was sued by his ex-wife for fraud charges and taking about 2.2 billion won prior to their marriage and until their divorce.[15] In the suit, Lee Hye-young claimed that her ex-husband bought a Volvo worth 80 million won and a BMW worth 100 million won under her name, for which he did not repay the installment debt and caused money to be seized from her broadcasting payment and bank account. In the suit, Lee also claimed that her ex-husband forced her to pose as a nude model for business purposes, taking 50 million won (~$50,000) for the contract and 30 million won (~$30,000) worth of benefits from the project.[16][17] On November 28, 2006, Lee Hye-young dropped the charges against her ex-husband.[18]

In December 2006, the police arrested Lee on the suspicion of operating a gambling website and receiving 210 million won in proceeds.[19][20] In 2009, he was sentenced to one and a half years in prison.[21] However, Lee appealed the ruling, and was then sentenced to 3 years in probation, 160 hours in community service, and 210 million won in fines.[22]

Lee started a mega-restaurant featuring live martial arts battles and drag shows; however, the restaurant failed in 2005 and landed Lee in debts of 6.9 billion won (US$6,200,000).[21]
