Lee Min Ho As an Honorary Prosecutor

[Newsie]

Congratulations to Lee Min Ho! He has been chosen as an “Honorary Prosecutor.” He is basically a PR ambassador for Korean prosecutors.

Prosecutors in South Korea are a lot more powerful than their counterparts in the U.S. Also they form another class of elite individuals. That is why many dramas portray them as elite figures and there are a lot of popular prosecutors as characters. (Example: Vampire Prosecutor, City Hunter) I find it somewhat ironic that Lee Min Ho is an “Honorary Prosecutor” because after all, his character in City Hunter was a rival with one!

On January 4 at 11am, Lee Min Ho, Moon Chae Won, author and professor Kim Nan Do, and NC Soft Yoon Song were given the honor of being “4^th Generation Honorary Prosecutors.” Lee Min Ho and Moon Chae Won will help promote the prosecutor’s office for a year.

Other actors that have been honorary prosecutors were: Ahn Sung Ki, Choi Soo Jong, Kim Tae Hee, and Jung Woo Sung.
