Biography
Born in Yeongju, South Gyeongsang Province, he was raised in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province. He was one of only a handful of patients ever recorded to be suffering from Gigantiform cementoma. His daughter, Ayun Lee, also has the condition, which has led scientists to believe that there may be a hereditary component to the disease. The father and daughter pair are the only known cases in Korea.

Because the surgery to remove the tumors left Lee with only his molars, he became known as "Molar Daddy" and his story was publicized in mass media. He also penned a book called Molar Daddy's Happiness.

Murder
On 5 September 2017 his wife, Choe Mi-sun, died. It became controversial whether she killed herself or was murdered. However, stories emerged that Choe was forced to make waffles and was recorded for money.

More and more, many South Koreans were shocked when his reality was proven. He was actually a criminal, with 11 counts in his rap sheet. There is evidence that he even bought several quilts during his secondary school life. His expulsion from school was planned, however, it was never effected due to the weather.
