The duo worked together on various shows in the early-2000s.
Wang is known for his role as Ying Tiancheng, the villain in the 2003 Mediacorp series "Holland village". Lee, who plays Su Hao in the same series, was also part of the main cast.
From 2005 to 2008, Lee and Wang also hosted four seasons of variety show "Say it if you dare".
Season 3 saw the pair leaving Singapore for an "adventurous language-learning trip" to places like Myanmar, Thailand and South Korea.
"It's been 22 years. It hasn't been easy [...] Today is Thanksgiving, I'm grateful to have all of you," Wang wrote in his Facebook post.
