Sung Hi Lee Wiki: Age, Childhood, and Education
Sung Hi Lee was born on the 1st April 1970, in Giha-chon, Enpyeong District of Seoul; she spent the first eight years of her life in South Korea, before the whole family moved to the USA.

Just a few months later, she was asked to pose for Playboy, so consequently graced the pages of the popular magazine. She then focused fully on her career, and left her studies, however, it wasn’t all easy for her, as her short stature jeopardized her future as a model.
Rise to Prominence
Luckily, during one of her trips from Los Angeles to New York she was once again asked to pose for Playboy – during the ‘90s, Sung eventually made a total of 12 appearances, which made her a star model, including being the first Asian model to grace the cover of Playboy. This led to doing commercials for numerous high-profile brands, such as Acer Computers, Miller Beer, Maxwell House, Chrysler, and numerous others, but she also made a name for herself as an actress.
She made her acting debut in 1997, with a minor role in the film “Midnight Blue”, starring Dean Stockwell and Damian Chapa. She continued with support roles, and then in 1998 was chosen for the part of Kiri in the TV action fantasy series “Mortal Kombat: Conquest” (1998-1999), and continued with roles in such films as “Making Contact” (1999), “Chain of Command” and “Nurse Betty”, both in 2000.
