Lee Doo-yong (Korean: 이두용; December 24, 1942 – January 19, 2024) was a South Korean film director. After his debut in 1969 with the film The Lost Wedding Veil (1970), Lee made more than 60 films in a wide array of genres. In the 1970s, he introduced Korean-style action films, including The Korean Connection (1974) and Left Foot of Wrath (1974).[1][2][3] His film Mulleya Mulleya (1984) created great controversy in the Korean media as well as in the West, due to the graphic portrayal of a woman's subjugated life during the Yi Dynasty.[4] Lee Doo-yong died in Seoul from lung cancer on January 19, 2024, at the age of 81.[5]
