In 2012, Lee played supporting roles in the romantic comedies Wonderful Radio and All About My Wife,[11] and thriller The Scent.[12][13] Later in the year, he reunited onscreen with his former Running Man co-star and real-life best friend Song Joong-ki in the TV melodrama The Innocent Man.[14]

In 2013, after another supporting role in A Wonderful Moment,[15] Lee voiced the lead character Marco in the animated movie Maritime Police Marco, opposite fellow Running Man regular Song Ji-hyo, who voiced for Lulu.[16][17]

The neo-noir film is about three friends (played by Ji Sung, Ju Ji-hoon, and Lee) whose friendship gets destroyed after getting involved in a murder case.[23][24][25] He then returned to television with the medical melodrama It's Okay, That's Love, playing a patient suffering from Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics.[26] Lee then starred in the film A Dynamite Family, about five bickering brothers living in the village of Deoksu.[27]

In 2015, Lee played the protagonist in Collective Invention, whose condition is caused by side effects from a newly introduced drug.[28] Collective Invention was screened in the Vanguard section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, marking Lee's first red carpet appearance at an international film festival.[29] He also starred in the two-episode drama Puck!, where he played a loan shark who joins a college ice hockey club.
