## Early life and debut
Lee was born in South Korea in 1996[2](https://asianwiki.com/Lee_E-Dam). According to her Korean-language profile, she attended Seomun Girls' High School, and her interest in acting began when she followed a friend to an audition for the school's theater club; standing on a stage for the first time, she felt an enjoyable nervousness and decided from then on that she would act[3](https://m.namu.moe/w/%EC%9D%B4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%B4).
Her screen debut came in the 2017 short film *Two Lights: Relumino* (두 개의 빛: 릴루미노), in the supporting role of Sun-mi[3](https://m.namu.moe/w/%EC%9D%B4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%B4) • [5](https://watch.plex.tv/en-GB/person/lee-yi-dam). In 2019 she appeared in the short film *Immaemong* (이매몽), which won the Best Fantasy award at the LA Index Film Festival in the United States[3](https://m.namu.moe/w/%EC%9D%B4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%B4).

## Television roles, 2021–2023
Lee's early television work established her as a supporting player across genres.

She later named this drama the work among her own projects to which she feels the strongest attachment[3](https://m.namu.moe/w/%EC%9D%B4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%B4). In the same year she played the character 4-1 in the dystopian series *Black Knight* (타백기사)[2](https://asianwiki.com/Lee_E-Dam).
