In a November interview with the famous US entertainment webzine IGN, Lee Byeong-heon stated that the role of Storm Shadow in "G.I. Joe" is similar as that of Park Chang-yi in "The Good, The Bad, and The Weird". He added, "Storm Shadow has strong pride and considers honor important. And because he's a Ninja, he's very mysterious."

Lee Byeong-heon took on the role of Storm Shadow in the movie "G.I. Joe" which was directed by Stephen Sommers. Starring Sienna Miller and Channing Tatum, it's a story about a top-secret U.S. special forces team.

Lee stated, "Starring in "G.I. Joe" was a great experience. But it wasn't easy because of my English. Acting in English isn't easy for Korean actors. I focused more on my pronunciation and my accent than being emotionally engaged."

In the movie, Storm Shadow offers viewers exciting action by wielding two swords at once. "It was the first sword action flick for me. I trained with a stunt man for a month," Lee stated.
