Assistant manager, Barunson E&A
- Majored in Chinese language and literature at Ewha Womans University in Seoul
- Joined Barunson E&A as assistant manager in 2023
After beginning her career in film investment and development at Little Big Pictures in 2017, Lee worked at boutique Blu-ray label Nova Media as sales manager for four years before joining Barunson E&A’s international sales team in 2023. “What keeps me going is my passion for film,” she says.
Since joining Barunson, Lee has focused on titles such as upcoming drama The World Of Love by acclaimed filmmaker Yoon Ga-eun and animation Gill from award-winning director Ahn Jae-huun. She also handles emerging projects from Southeast Asia including titles from Indonesia, which bring “something unique and rewarding to the table”.
While industry shifts pose challenges, Lee sees opportunity in diversification. “We are expanding our sales strategies across different regions and genres,” she says of plans for the future.
Lee credits her team for helping deepen her love for cinema, but also how to approach work with dedication and integrity. As she looks ahead, Lee hopes to work on developing a broader perspective — seeing the big picture, planning ahead and building strong and lasting relationships with buyers across the globe.
