Lee Min Ho ♥ 이민호 ♥ ィミンホ ♥ 李敏鎬 Upcoming Drama 2024: Ask the Stars; Pachinko Season 2; Upcoming movie 2025: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

[nina_mitrokhina]

It turns out that popular actor Lee Min Ho is also sometimes insecure about his appearance.

 

Lee Min Ho is the best Korean screen actor. Since his debut, he has received many compliments for his good looks and his role as a prince in a love story. But it turned out that the actor did not consider himself handsome.

 

People recently dug up an old saying by Lee Min Ho on One Night of TV Entertainment aired in 2013. Here, a male god criticized himself for being ugly and pointed out two things: the most beautiful co-worker in his eyes. "I'm not handsome. I have droopy eyelids and a big face. Park Hyung Sik is very cute, and Kim Woo Bin has white skin but is still handsome and masculine," commented Lee Min Ho.

Although he is a male god of thousands of people who love him...

Sideburns are also a detail that makes Lee Min Ho unhappy with himself. He often looks in the mirror on set, not to look at his face, but…to check his sideburns. “It’s stressful because my sideburns always stand on end,” admitted Lee Min Ho.

 

The words of the actor The Heirs extremely surprised the fans. It turned out that despite people's praise, the male cult god was unsure of his appearance. It is known that at the time, Lee Min Ho was filming The Heirs with Park Hyung Sik and Kim Woo Bin, so he had the clearest idea of the looks of these two co-stars...

@nina_mitrokhina  thanks for sharing this. LMH being insecure about his physical appearance? It’s all in his mind. You see, our thoughts are often our biggest critic. Although, I do understand him if he feels like that because when you are in the Entertainment Industry you feel suffocated by the pressures of the modern world. The conditioning that you received from society will linger in your thought patterns, your emotional reactions and in your general attitude towards yourself.I have never met a single person that is totally confident with their physical appearance.LMH is not only good in the outside but also in the inside. And that’s what makes him flawless for me.

As cited by a local outlet, the rookie actress confessed that she was starstruck by the Hallyu star's presence in "Pachinko." She pointed out that the 34-year-old actor is a big thing in Korea adding that she "felt overwhelmed" working with him. 

 

Moreover, she also described her experience as "strange" but mentioned how Lee Min Ho made things easier for her. 

In the eight-part series, the Hallyu actor took on the role of Ko Hansu, an enigmatic outsider and a wealthy merchant who was stunned by Sunja's captivating beauty, played by Kim Min Ha. 

 

Playing the character of the teenage Sunja, she embarked on an illicit romance. Unfortunately, after becoming pregnant, Ko Hansu reveals that he is already married and has kids in Japan.

Soompi & Viki Staff Talk: What Was The 1st Drama That Got You Into K-Drama World?

 

 

Along with our recent feature on great gateway K-dramas to introduce to friends, some of our staff members took time to reflect on which K-dramas first got us hooked (and eventually here at Soompi and Viki).

 

Here are the stories of our K-drama-loving crew:

 

 

Yeon: “Heirs”

 

 

Although I remember watching dramas such as “My Lovely Sam Soon” alongside my mother when I was young, the first drama that really got me into watching K-dramas myself was “Heirs.” Focused on the love story of chaebol heir Kim Tan (Lee Min Ho) and his family’s housekeeper’s daughter Cha Eun Sang (Park Shin Hye), the drama is about elite high schoolers and also those who get involuntarily embroiled in their lives. The star-studded cast including Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, Kim Woo Bin, Krystal, Kim Ji Won, Kang Min Hyuk, Kang Ha Neul, and Park Hyung Sik combined with rom-com mastermind Kim Eun Sook’s magical way with words had me immediately hooked. Although some of the lines are admittedly a bit cringey, that’s the addictive charm of a Kim Eun Sook script, and the actors pull it off so well that I still enjoy rewatching the drama to this day.

 

Watch “Heirs” below:

The amazing treatment Apple gave to Lee Min-ho the day before filming bed scenes in “Pachinko”

 

Lee Min-ho said that he was surprised at the amount Apple invested (more than 100 billion won) when filming “Pachinko”.

In particular, he was surprised by the size of the set. In Canada, there was a set that reproduced the Korean fish market during the Japanese colonial era. Watching several 1.5-ton trucks loaded with fresh seafood in the morning, he realized the details and scale of this work.

 

Lee Min-ho confessed that the moment that impressed him the most was not the scale, but the detailed work method for the cast’s acting. The day before kiss scenes or bed scenes were filmed, a psychologist came and interviewed actors in person to give them advice on their current emotional and psychological conditions. Such a detailed approach is said to have been of great help to their acting.

Hansoo: Pachinko villain celebrates Lee Min Ho before and after

 

 

Mafer Sosa
APRIL 21, 2022

 

Hansoo is a Pachinko villain who shows a new side of Lee Min Ho that could change his career.

The penultimate episode of "Pachinko" reveals the secrets of Lee Min Ho's character. Not only does this show Hansoo's past, but we also see the K-drama king's acting growth in a new aspect.

 

"Lee Min Ho revela el secreto del éxito de los Kdramas | ENTREVISTA" in YouTube

 

 

 

Ever since Lee Min Ho accepted the role of Hansoo, expectations have grown to see him as a villain. For the most part, the actor plays the roles of "nice" guys, divas, and rich guys who are the main stars of his Korean dramas.

Pachinko is not a love story. They don't suggest that it revolves around Lee Min Ho's character, but how each character changes due to the historical context they lived in. And how each experience left a mark on their lives.

 

Hansoo's past with his father

 

As for Hansu, he was changed by the Japanese occupation, injustice and poverty.

At this point, we can see Lee Min Ho as Hansoo in the traditional attire of the time, as well as a different personality from the beginning. We see a dreamy Hansoo who enjoys beading abacus and being a tutor.

Although his economic situation was not the best, his father was everything to him. Even this one always wanted to see someone great in him, even if it meant parting ways. Thus, Min Ho demonstrates unconditional love for his father in this role.

Even in the scene where he gets beat up by his father, he doesn't care as his priority is his father.

Min Ho's facial expressions at the sight of his little family suffering from debt are so intense that you can't help but want to help them.

 

Kanto earthquake, Hansu trials begin

 

Hansu's life-changing event occurs during the Kanto, Japan earthquake in September 1923. A 7.1 magnitude earthquake that completely destroyed cities like Yokohama.

The Great Kanto Earthquake ignited hatred against Koreans because, according to the Japanese writer Akira Yoshimura in his short story "The Great Kanto Earthquake"; Rumors that the Koreans were taking advantage of the situation to rob, poison, and kill the Japanese led to poaching.

As Hansoo tries to get through the disaster, he also has to look back and come to terms with the fact that everything he planned for his future with his father has changed. This is where we see Lee Min Ho in a way we've never seen him before.

Sinister, along with the fires and dust cloud around him, makes him feel desperate. Lee Min Ho shows a distraught Hansoo who wants to throw himself into his father's arms, who is lost, doesn't know what to do, who just wants to be somewhere else.

 

What is the difference between Hansoo the villain of Pachinko and Lee Min Ho's other characters?

 

Although he is the first villain to be played by Lee Min-ho, unlike his other characters who have the behavior of spoiled children who often have problems with their mothers.

Pachinko demands that Hansoo be the villain to step on others before they step on him.

His cruelty stems from injustice, from the inhumanity that people showed in the face of another's misfortune, from the need to be the one who has power, so as not to be humiliated again for having nothing or for his origin.

Hansoo stands out from Lee Min Ho's other characters, his backstory shows part of South Korea's history of pain. While the rest of his characters are usually rom-com oriented, that doesn't make them any less important.

But with Hansoo, Lee Min Ho plays a character that shows the maturity of a boy who has lived through everything and never learned to be loved or love as it meant being vulnerable.

Also, you can see how Min Ho is different from his other characters in which he was presented as a "rich boy".

The South Korean actor is showing a new facet that fans, and even those who aren't, will be surprised by his performance and the evolution of his character.

Hansoo, the villain from Pachinko, will be celebrating before and after in Lee Min Ho's career.
