MIN HUGS Lee Min Ho hugs a lucky fan

You wouldn’t think Korean star Lee Min Ho had been here twice before, based on the hordes of fans who came to see him at the Benchsetter Fun Meet at Smart Araneta Coliseum last week.

What keeps “The Heirs” actor coming back to Manila? “I love the fresh fruit shakes, especially mango juice,” Min Ho said with a smile.

He was comfortably dressed in a Bench denim shirt with white paisley print and jeans which he picked himself. “What do you think?” he asked. After telling him that he looked good, he laughed. It was evident that he was comfortable in his own skin, jovial and warm to fans and to people he meets.

 

‘Do nothing’

300x300xt0329tatin-leeminho_feat7_2-300x

LEE MIN Ho says “Hi!”

He mentioned that he was busy doing shoots for different brands (his own shoot with Bench was scheduled the following day), as well as filming for shows. Min Ho is obviously so busy that when we asked him what he did during his spare time, he said he didn’t have any. “If I do get the chance to have spare time, I just wanna rest and do nothing,” he said.

When asked what he thought was different about his role in “Boys Over Flowers” and “The Heirs,” he paused before saying, “The biggest difference between the two was that I had curly hair in ‘Boys Over Flowers’ while I had straight hair in ‘The Heirs.’”

He added, “In ‘Boys Over Flowers,’ my character was a straightforward guy—he thinks then acts upon it right away. In ‘The Heirs,’ he’s more of a deep thinker; he reflects on what he did in the past and becomes responsible for what he does.” He said he loved that each character had different emotions. “It helps me reflect and gain new ideas and views,” Min Ho said.

 

Other roles

He has the hunky rich boy role down pat. Are there any other characters he’d like to portray? “There are many roles to play,” he said, “many jobs available, but I want to try different things. Because I’m getting older and older, I want to try a role that will depict childhood innocence.”

Fans already know this, but there is actually a Lee Min Ho figure at Madame Tussaud’s in Shanghai.  We asked Lee what he thought of his inanimate life-size replica. “At first I thought it didn’t look similar to me, but after seeing many fans uploading it, I’ve gotten familiar with it, and I think it’s similar,” he said, laughing.

Effective endorsement

Lee Min Ho has been longtime favorite model for Bench, and it’s easy to see why. His endorsement is very effective, his enduring appeal with the fans evident, and he looks good wearing Bench. His latest campaign for the brand includes not just apparel, but scents as well.

On the other side of the equation, Lee said that he loves Bench because it helps him reach fans. “I’m very satisfied that I can communicate with lots of Filipino fans because it helps me to become closer to them. That’s the great part about being with Bench.”

Asked what he loves about his Filipino fans, Min Ho answered, “They’re very enthusiastic, warm-hearted; they always smile and they’re very hospitable to me.”

What a roller-coaster , I was on high yesterday and plunged so low today =))

Do you think his stylist tries to adapt Japanese fashion? I don't know what fashion trend Japanese are up to currently, but I've seen some weird looks before, like very colorful, messy (in my eyes) with lots of layers.... =)) . I wish there are Japanese Minoz on here who can give us some cultural lessons.

Edit: I don't like the hair parting like that either. I hope he won't wear that kind of hairdo in GB

Lee Min Ho looked like he just stepped out of the TV screen.

GLOBAL Benchsetter Min Ho loves how Bench brings him closer to his fans. PHOTO BY RUTH NAVARRA

That was the first thought I had when he walked towards me backstage at the recent Benchsetter Fun Meet at Smart Araneta Coliseum. Why? He still sported his hairstyle from “The Heirs”—short at the back, straight bangs across his eyebrows, exactly how Kim Tan, his character in the romantic comedy series, looked like.

He walked with a smile on his face. He wore a blue long-sleeved polo shirt, the sleeves folded right below his elbows, with crisp, fitted white pants and brown loafers. He was every inch ready to be photographed.

I raised my arms to take a snapshot, my left hand clutching my camera phone and my right holding my point-and-shoot. Suddenly it felt like I was in a scene straight from a Koreanovela. His eagle-eyed bodyguards saw me and quickly covered the lenses of my cameras with their hands and bodies.

Too many times I have seen similar scenes on TV—the bodyguards always in black, no matter the temperature. They step out first, press their corded earpiece closer, and surround their client protectively.

I used to think that those scenes were exaggerated for TV until I experienced it myself. Only this time, my camera phone was the threat that they had to protect Min Ho from.

Those bodyguards, or bouncers, knew their jobs well. The only backstage

photos I have from that day are of hands, the floor, and the blurred back of Min Ho.

Fans befriended each other while waiting in line. PHOTO BY RUTH NAVARRA

After losing to The Suits, I made my way to the crowd.  But before I could step out of the stage area, a girl with no event ID tugged at my shirt.

“Ate, nakalabas na po ba si Min Ho?  Gusto ko po kasi sanang magpa-picture kasama siya. Isang picture lang po (Has Min Ho left? I was hoping to have a photo with him. Just one picture),” she said. It was a risky move because talking to me raised too much attention to herself. The bouncers promptly asked her to leave.

Earlier, another fan approached me when she saw my media pass. She asked if I could help her get to the all-access area. She was on her own but entered the venue with a group of girls she did not know. She befriended them so she could get ahead in line. She went on her own again when she saw a closer spot. It became apparent that, in this kind of event, it was every woman for herself.

The guys in the crowd, I assumed, were there as willing chaperones for their girlfriends, sisters, or daughters. Min Ho is one of the few

Korean male stars who also appealed to straight men. He won them over with the action series “City Hunter.” The girls he enthralled a long time ago as Gu Jun Pyo in “Boys Over Flowers.”

I finally found a spot at the side of the stage. It was

difficult to hear the first few parts of the conversation

between Min Ho and host Sam Oh. The fans were screaming their lungs off.

Min Ho charmed everyone with his wit. He asked Oh to teach him a few Filipino phrases. He chose the most common yet thrilling words that sent them over the edge, such as “Mahal ko kayo.”

Some pre-selected fans joined him onstage. They got to pick rewards from two boxes labeled “So In Love” and “Sure Blue,” the two perfumes that Lee is endorsing for Bench. The rewards were

either a hug or a selfie with the star. After two or three hugs, Min Ho said he would like to change the mechanics of the game.

He asked the next fan who won a hug to walk from the end of the stage. They slowly met in the middle before locking in a tight embrace. The fans were tickled pink.

Again he was barely heard amid the nonstop screams as he started singing “Painful Love.” The song is in the soundtrack of “The Heirs.”

I hurried backstage to wait for him to return to his dressing room. Alas, he was still flanked by his burly bouncers. They started waving at me frantically to drop my camera as they moved forward.

Fans who had the all-access pass soon followed. But Min Ho’s bodyguards pushed them all back. There were sounds of begging and whining.

I got out of there before things got out of hand. Outside, I saw some of the fans sitting on the side of the street. They looked like they were finally feeling tired from all the fuss. Some had come from the provinces and as far as Indonesia to be part of this event.

But they were still smiling, happily chatting with their friends about the excitement of seeing a larger-than-life Min Ho, in the flesh, just a few minutes ago.

Since I've seen a lot of Japanese tourists with weird fashion, I'm going to assume he did it to cater his fans there. Let just hope what happened in Japan stays in Japan.

To help restore our equilibrium, here's a refreshing thought---PMZ's video with Eng sub (MinHo's voice more than makes up for last night's atrocity):

It's still a teaser---but it appears to be heading toward funding an international water project.

After I posted my last comment, I felt the room shake so I thought that Minho was sending me his negative vibes. Turns out that it was a real earthquake! Magnitude 5.1 just hit us some 20 miles northeast of my home. Scary! No damage reported so far. Minhoya, don't tell me you're wearing something earth-shaking again tonight! [-O<
