description: "Lee Doo-yong 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). 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. Lee Doo-yong died in Seoul from lung cancer on January 19, 2024, at the age of 81."
