Daniel Lee Chee Hun (Simplified Chinese: 李吉汉, Traditional Chinese: 李吉漢; born July 1, 1982) is a Malaysian singer most notable for winning the second season of Malaysian Idol. Better known as Daniel throughout the show, he beat over 9000 candidates to compete in Malaysian Idol and was left with Norhanita Hamzah in the final two. In the final episode and the subsequent results show held at Genting Highlands' Arena of Stars on September 23 and September 24, 2005 respectively, he obtained roughly 1.2 million out of 1.67 million votes (68%) cast through SMS and phone calls. The finale was broadcast live on TV3 and 8TV. He has released his first single Mimpi (translation: "Dream") on Oct 19, 2005 which sold 5000 copies in five days. His self-titled debut album was released on 22 November 2005 and sold more than 10,000 copies in its first three weeks. The album has 10 songs including Mimpi (with Mandarin and Malay versions), Heaven Knows (English), and seven other songs in Mandarin, one of which he composed himself. Within six months of release, the album eventually achieved platinum status by breaching 25,000 copies. His second album, Unavoidable 躲不過, was released about 18 months later on June 13, 2007. He is under the management of The 8 Unit. There were major disagreements surrounding Daniel's victory as the Malaysian Idol as some viewers claimed that his looks brought him the victory. It was claimed that the majority of the votes sent via SMS were mostly by young girls
