Lee Min Ho ♥ 이민호 ♥ ィミンホ ♥ 李敏鎬 Happy B-day June 22! Pachinko Season 2 Aug 23 on Apple TV+; Upcoming Drama 2024: Ask the Stars; Upcoming movie 2025: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

[AgentQuake]

Would Lee Min Ho, top Hallyu star in the world, even NEED to audition?  Surely they would screen test him, chemistry test him and his potential co-stars...but someone of Lee Min Ho’s star in a Korean collab on a streaming service wouldn’t audition.

 

If he was trying to go for an MCU or hitting up pilot season in the US, sure, he would audition. But something like this...I imagine the offer would be made by the studio to MYM, with other K actors on deck if it fell through. 
 

And what the hell are they trying to say with “oh he’s been cast but he still has to audition”?  It doesn’t work like that.

Yes his 100% doing this. He never releases any casting info without it being true and if it was not his agency would have shout it down immediately but they released it on purpose and never shout it down and just let it spread on purpose. He never mediaplays and never really needed all that. MYM would have shout the fire out within mins after leak but they didn't which means they are behind this

 

Thanks @Elnin Joery - this is a great statement.  I've been anxious because there are so many voices out there about this stuff. Thank you so much for assuring, my new Minoz heart can rest assure now, haha.

Likewise, @Elnin Joery , echoing @JoannaID.  Thanks for the comforting words.    My bad for misinterpreting MYM's intention.   

Hi @JoannaID  Would you be held up at work at KST time tonight?  Will we see you in AAA voting hot time?

You Welcome

I will say this - Korea Dispatch got nothing on the $hit that goes down in Vancouver.  For one, the place is TINY, with a handful of studios and dozens upon dozens of series filming all at once.  We have a joke in the Arrowverse fandom that all six shows only have one hospital room and one set of outdoor staircase.  Any location filming will give us some incredible photos.

 

The leakers and “dispatch” are also insanely accurate - they can catch anything and everything, especially c*nadagraphs.  They’re not the...most respectful, but they keep a far away enough distance . They can truly see everything though...they broke the Melissa Benoist/Blake Jenner news years before Melissa revealed her story. 
 

Fans are, for the most part, extremely respectful.  It’s mostly Vancouver natives and Seattle folks who will head up, and it’ll very very chill.  Vancouver is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world, and great for filming.  If anything, LMH would have a really nice time there for a few months.

EVERYTHING gets leaked about the TV shows.  
 

Once Upon A Time basically used the same 3 streets to film, so everything that was an exterior shoot got leaked.  
 

It’s also teeeeeny tiny compared to Seoul/Busan - you can jog the downtown area in an hour or two.   It’s a few KM.  
 

Oh and I don’t know if it’s just the CW and some other TV studios that do this but they put signs up a day or two in advance warning STREETS CLOSED 10/25 - LEGENDS OF TOMORROW FILMING and then the twitters are all over it.  

At least for the TV, they’re pretty “meh” when it comes to letting fans watch.  Once Upon A Time used to let fans hang out as long as they didn’t disturb filming, and some of the actors would come chat.  Colin O’Donohue and Rebecca Mader used to come say hi to the fans watching filming all the time. 

[Narine Joa]

Good morning. I am finally out of lurking this news has finally reached me. 

 

I read the wiki details about this AppleTV+ series. I know that they recently produced highly valued content that network which is what makes me excited. I approve this series for him and it is the right step for his career and hopefully he wins Golden Globe and Emmy for this one. 

 

Aside from that after he has done this one it's time to be selfish and he needs to go back to his roots which is Gangster movies and so far he has done two gangster films and he died in both of them. I wanna see him in a gangster saga movie that runs across multiple films like about 3-4 installments. 

 

He has truly shined in the romance genre and he has made a name for himself in that genre but I have always felt he has an energy about himself which allows him to enter such characters flawlessly and his always more at home with anti-heros and villiany characters

Lee Min Ho Headlines Apple TV+’s “Pachinko”

 

After Lee Min Ho‘s successful K-drama comeback with Netflix series The King: Eternal Monarch, the Hallyu star is joining hands with another American streaming service. Recently, news broke that he will play the male lead in Pachinko, Apple TV+’s drama adaptation of Korean-American author Min Jin Lee‘s best-selling historical-fiction novel of the same name. The actor will be working closely with the author and Apple TV+ to depict the blood, sweat, and tears of Koreans living in the foreign lands of Japan.

 

“Pachinko” is internationally recognized for its tale of a Korean family experiencing socially and politically driven racism, stereotypes, and prejudice after immigrating to Japan in the early 1990s. The book was a 2017 finalist for the National Book Award for fiction, and the former US

President Barack Obama even publicly praised it as a “captivating book” last May. His social media post immediately sparked a series of discussions, as many took on his recommendation to check out the novel.

I watched the morning show just the other day and quite enjoyed it. The material seems heavy which is interesting. I think we may even see hot-scenes because things have to be very serious sort of imo. I will take anything to be honest. I have missed seeing him on the screen and it feels like it has been forever

"Gangnam 1970" Kim Jong Dae "You Will Love Me"

[ATW]

Hi all, i pray all day for LMH. I really like the story (havent read it but get a glimpse of it from wikipedia). And i think lmh will doing good in this series. I will be patiently waiting for the US media to announce it, if the rumour was true about the nda , MYM and LMH need to follow it carefully. 

i knew 1 story of indonesian actor who has been casted to play in latest Marvel movie, he even already do the shooting, but got fired because he posted something on set long time before the movie release. Which is violating the contract. 
 

maybe this series also take this root too. They really wanted to keep it confidential, until the production company release the statement. 

[Ilmo yens]

 

This is literally what Pachinko means? and this post is for these of you who are curious 

 

 

[Heilo]

Who waked me up from my slumber. What is that noise? 

 

I recall TKEM ending 4 months ago didn't realize the turn around would be this quick considering it is LMH and I am really pleased with it. I read little details about it here and there and I like it. 

 

Me after finding out LMH is coming back..  

 

I was going bored for awhile then found out that LMH is coming back. I was like HOLY HELL!!! this is happening! BTW Give this man the Golden Globe and Emmy on before hand just from his participation. His a true treasure for modern day Film-TV entertainment. His become an entity of his own and he occupies a corner of the entertainment share it's Lee Min effin Ho for god sake. 

 

Nonetheless it is a quite interesting venture for him to try something new I guess and change the grassing location for awhile. It's quite an interesting choice to say the least.

An interesting article about the Lazada team and their work with Lee Min Ho:

 

LAZADA 11.11 FEAT. LEE MIN HO X CHIPU

 

THIS PROJECT, LIKE PETER – LAZADA REGIONAL DIRECTOR ONCE SAID IN FIRST BRIEFING MEETING ‘AN AMBITIOUS INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION PRODUCTION OF THIS YEAR’ BETWEEN PRODUCTION HOUSES AND POST HOUSES FROM KOREA, SINGAPORE TO VIETNAM, THAILAND, MALAYSIA, INDONESIA AND PHILIPPINES.

 

 

... To keep secret of Lee Min Ho‘s presence until today, we have to blur out or crop his face out in every scenes in offline videos (provided by regional team) even in any printed pieces of papers in internal meetings or briefing documents. Only essential people can see his face, this make us feel like we are working on a top secret mission in movie tho. We are also created a code name for him, Mr. L – yeah, refer to L fictional character in famous Japanese manga series ‘Death Note‘ – which we all love.
