A non-profit organisation based out of New York, Asia Society hosts the event to recognise the contribution of people in the entertainment industry across the Asian region, according to the Yonhap news agency. The awards gala will be held her on Monday at the Academy Museum.

Lee has received critical acclaim for his performances in a wide range of genres throughout his 30-year career in works such as 'A Bittersweet Life' (2005), 'The Good, the Bad, the Weird' (2008) and 'Masquerade' (2012).

Since his Hollywood debut with 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' in 2009, he has appeared in a number of American films, including 'Terminator Genisys' (2015) and 'The Magnificent Seven' (2017). He became a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2016.

Bajaria, who has earlier worked with CBS, Warner Bros and Universal Television, joined Netflix during the Covid-19 pandemic. She was ranked 43rd on 'Fortune' magazine's Most Powerful Women list.
