Also, he is occasionally a guest deejay on Chinese language radio channel YES 933.

Lee has won 5 Star Awards for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes from 2013-2017.
Business ventures
editLee used to run the Singapore outlet of streetwear brand Stage and the fashion store Ground Zero.[7]
Lee co-owns a hair salon, Air Salon, located at The Cathay, with two business partners.[8] The salon was converted into a salon-cum-cafe when they relocate the salon.[8]
Personal life
editIn 2018, Lee got into legal tussle with his business partner in court.[9][10]
In 2019, Lee attended a training course at the film college of Shanghai Theatre Academy.[11]
Lee began dating Gina Lin, a Singapore-based Taiwanese advertising executive, from October 2018, and then they were engaged on 24 March 2020.[12] Lee announced his fiancee's pregnancy on 25 May 2020,[12] but subsequently suffered a miscarriage.[13] Lee and Lin registered their marriage in Singapore in June 2020.[14]
