HI and welcome @Snoe Whyte to the LMH thread!

************

So how do those vague and ambiguous IG posts, after TKEM, fit into the picture?  Maybe they have nothing to do with Pachinko.

According to Wikipedia the story will focus on Hansu.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachinko_(2021)

 

The name refers to a pachinko gambling machine. Although, the adaption of the novel in the TV series, the series will also unfold the dark side of Hansu, silent leader of the yakuza.

 

 

Above Wikipedia page was deleted. But I will not be surprised the change of story leading by Koh Hansu.
The gap of subscribers between Netflix and Apple TV+ is quite big. Referring to the success of TKEM on Netflix, it's smart and fast to get numerous new subscribers by way of LMH's huge popularity worldwide.

Paulo Coelho also fell in love with this... 'K Content' that holds the world

...

Following the K zombie craze brought by "Kingdom," a number of works, including TVN's "Crash Landing on You" and JTBC's " Itaewon Class," gained popularity overseas, and even Paulo Coelho left a review saying he had watched the entire series of "My Mister." Recently, actor Lee Min-ho has been confirmed as the main character of the local drama "Pachinko," produced by Apple TV Plus (+) in the U.S. Korean Wave stars have steadily entered the English-speaking world, but this time they are attracting more attention in that they have been selected as the main actors.

Me too CH did it for me.  I love the action scenes in CH and the fact LMH did most of them himself, made it even more awesome.  I love the story line and his character in the drama.  His cheekiness and fake arrogance were entertaining too..

Yes, the mud scene in GB is one of the best action scenes I have seen too.  Many damaged suits .  They fact they used regular stuff as weapons.  LMH with his umbrella striking brutally at his attackers. The look on his face and his action scenes were unbelievable.  Never though he had it in him to be so brutal.  Was impressed. He said himself he had to dig deep to create that character.  

 

What are the US based verified accounts hyping LMH's Pachinko?

 

 

I was not a fan when I watched BOF, only after CH.  Came to enjoy him in BOF much later.

 

Oh yes, watching Gangnam Blues was the one defining moment that made me LMH's fan. After watching him in TKEM as a regal handsome / charming King, I was amazed to watch him as Kim Jong Dae, ruthless and brutal gangster, totally different from Lee Gon, he became the character he played, its a sign of a great actor. 

I did enjoy him as Gu Jun Pyo in BoF also, LMH literally carried that drama on his shoulders, he did justice to his role and he was just 22 at the moment. Two things that I loved about BoF, LMH's acting and the drama OSTs.

About the US based verified accounts who were tweeting about Pachinko, there were many, here are just some of them:

@syntyche, thanks for sharing this. Apple TV Plus is an ad-free subscription video-on-demand web television service unlike its toughest competitor Netflix. It's just that Netflix, which is available to over 190 countries worldwide, Apple TV Plus is only accessible to about 100 countries. This could be one of the driving factors behind Apple TV+ rumored plans to expand into the South Korean market. Well, they are on the right track for tapping someone as celebrated as Lee Min-ho.
