The sixth season of ‘Cobra Kai’ brought a new antagonist ready to cause trouble. This is Kwon Jae-Sung, a young martial arts expert whose arrival will raise tension levels between the students of Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio).
This character will become a major threat, considering the Karate-Do students have already faced big bads like Terry Silver (played by Thomas Ian Griffith).
Since Kwon’s first appearance in the series, specifically in episode 3, the youngster has started to attract the attention of fans not only for his physique but also for the role he now plays in the show. He is the new protégé of John Kreese (Martin Kove) and Kim Da-eun (Alicia Hannah-Kim).
His role as Kreese’s disciple is a clear and imminent sign of danger, placing him as the most dangerous and promising candidate for Cobra Kai to beat the Sekai Taikai.
With his defiant attitude and commanding presence, Kwon represents a great and important challenge for Miguel, Robby, Hawk and Demetri.
Who is the actor who plays Kwon in Cobra Kai season six?
Brandon H. Lee, responsible for bringing Kwon Jae-Sung to life, is an actor starting to make his way in Hollywood. Although it is not his first participation in major productions, it is the first major opportunity he has had to demonstrate his artistic abilities.
Lee made his way into the film industry with a major role as Simu Liu’s stuntman in the film ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’, one of the MCU films. This opportunity opened the doors to other projects such as the series ‘Generation’, ‘Our Late Father’ and ‘The Red Rob Roy Show’.
In addition to his artistic talent, Lee is a high-performance athlete. At 25, he is a Taekwondo master and won the National Freestyle Taekwondo Championship in 2019. Thanks to these types of tournaments, Lee received an offer to join the United States team, but he turned it down to fully focus on his career. But that didn’t stop him from continuing to train and hone his skills.
Among his abilities is that of a comedian. Lee had the honor of performing at the 2023 League of Legends World Championship Opening Ceremony, where he performed several skits. In fact, he has a YouTube channel where you can watch all kinds of comedy content.
Born in 1999 and originally from Minnesota, Brandon H. Lee discovered his true passion at the age of 3. His love for acting was sparked when he saw a Jackie Chan movie, a movie that inspired him to emulate the famous actor. After graduating from the University of Minnesota-Duluth, Brandon decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of acting.
The sixth season of ‘Cobra Kai’ not only presents new challenges for the characters, but also marks a starting point in Lee’s career, who will surely continue to gain fans and recognition thanks to the series.
