Byung Hun Lee “Storms” Tokyo at the Rise of the Cobra red carpet premiere


Byung Hun Lee is Storm Shadow in GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra, which opened Friday, Aug 7th.  The movie topped at #1 in the box office with gross sales of more than $54M.7M [from yahoo movies]

L to R: Marlon Wayans, Rachel Nichols, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, and Byung.
