Hello , after a long hiatus, I was able to recover my soompi account. I just would like to share my meaningful sole trip to Seoul two weeks ago.  It was a planned vacation (my 3rd time) since I wanted to experience winter  in Korea  with  DIY ITs  and all,  my first after pandemic (last one was 2019). I was really excited to wander again and get lost but the highlight of my travel was Minho. I didn't expect to see myself shouting  his name at DDP (thanks to IG stories and twitter I was able to know the DDP party for the opening of Fendi Palazzo few days before and I was already ay Seoul!!).  Although I was able to see him 5 times  when he visited Manila almost every year the last time was 2016 , I still dream of  seeing him in  Korea  on one of my visits.And.... it  actually came true.  He's gorgeous as ever and very  amiable unlike others who just passed by to us and not even bother to wave. We braved the freezing weather , we ran from one entrance to another.  We were told to "get lost" by a bad ahjusssi one of the MIB bodyguards (men in black) in front of Art Hall (btw there were plenty of entrances and exits of the Art Hall). But we were firm and we followed the line and behaved well as  fans. Thanks to the loyal Minoz, we're able to locate the entrance as they ran from one place to another we ran as well too. Haha. What an experience. And when someone said "that's his car  please wave to him -  a black genesis , my heart stopped and we waved and we waved (we're so positve he saw us waiving).  But the car just suddenly went towards another Art Hall entrance to our dismay (our original location). ...  But it made a u turn and headed back towards us. Suddenly,   someone stepped out of the car- an old familiar face his bodyguard (the one who accompanied him in Canada).  A minute after Minho stepped out of the car. The first thing he did was bow to us (such gesture is love) and he waved and flashed a beautiful and cheerful  smile . What an experience really.  This was my first time to see Jung Il Woo in person as well , also Song Hye Kyo and Lee Soo Hyuk too. I didn't notice Park Hyung Shik altho there were plenty of other celebrities who graced the event. I have a video but I don't know how to insert it here hehe. 

 

Thanks for the update on your sightings.  And welcome back.

I read, on Twitter, that LMH deleted his selfie and the other airport photos from his IG.  I checked and it is indeed gone.  I thought perhaps he deleted the airport photos if they was some sort of copyright issue, but his selfie on the plane didn't need to be deleted.  I wonder why he deleted it?

*** Ohhh.....You know, celebrity Instagram photos are copyright protected. The person who took the photo generally owns the rights to it, so if you are a celebrity who posts a photo someone else took of you on your social media, you could be violating copyright law. Specifically, Instagram says: Your content, assuming a basic level of creativity in its making, is yours and protected under copyright law, even if it only exists on the Instagram platform. The same goes for anyone else's content. The best way to help make sure that what you post to Instagram doesn't violate copyright law is to only post content that you've created yourself. Like you, I also wonder - For his airport photos, maybe it's

 

understandable but, his selfie? Why include the latter?

Thanks for sharing the video. OMG, she is cute and so sweet.  I would watch her in an SK Drama and that international drama she is working on sounds fun.  Would watch if it is available.  It would be fun if she is in a drama with LMH.

I'm back--I forgot to mention that I saw LMH's self on his facebook page this morning.  Maybe he forgot to delete it.

I am so excited and teased my husband to give me some pesos for downpayment of a  pre-selling unit the moment I knew he's  the new BA. Hahaha . SMDC is  super memorable to me since our first real estate investment was a tiny studio in Makati area by SMDC. That was 14yrs ago. The year I got to know and love LMH too for BOF.  He sure made a big comeback as endorser of a  Filipino brand. SM group of companies is like our Gu Jun Pyo's Shinwa group here managed and owned by the Sy Family .A huge conglomerate with SMmegamalls,    hotels (Radissons), biggest and largest bank BDO , real estate SMDC Tagaytay Highlands, university (NU), convenient stores (AlfaMart),  investment house, BDO insurance and  even  grid corporation (NGC). . I was employed for 15yrs  as SM employee until my early retirement 6 yrs ago.

LEE MIN HO is SMDC’s newest ‘GOOD GUY' 

   

Leading property developer SM Development Corporation (SMDC) is launching its newest advertising campaign, which has a superstar endorser, Korean actor Lee Min Ho.

The leading developer teams up with the Korean superstar for its “Step into Luxury” campaign.

 

“I’m honored to be part of the SMDC family. It’s very important for a person to have a space to call home,” Lee Min Ho shared. He added that being able to influence home buyers in owning their home is something he is grateful for.

Lee Min Ho is the lead actor of the Korean drama series “Boys Over Flowers,” “City Hunter,” “The Heirs,” “The Legend of the Blue Sea,” “The King: Eternal Monarch,” and “Pachinko,” which established him as a household name worldwide, including the Philippines.

 

 

Lee Min Ho has been voted as most favorite actor by the 2022 Overseas Hallyu Report, an international survey conducted in 18 countries by the Republic of Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korean Foundation for International Culture Exchange (KOFICE). Lee Min Ho, who has topped the list for five consecutive years since 2018, proved that he is an unwavering representative in Korea.

Since 2009, he has received numerous awards for excellence in acting, and is considered as one of the most influential global style icons who has the largest number of followers on social media among Korean actors.

 

SMDC Vice President for Marketing Aye Luna said, “We are certainly excited to be working with Mr. Lee Min Ho for this campaign. Not only does he embody true luxury and sophistication, he is also a “Good Guy” in every sense of the word. He cares about his family and fans, and positively contributes to society through his donation platform. This makes him the perfect brand ambassador of SMDC.”

 

As a testament to its commitment to building world-class, master-planned sustainable communities, SMDC was recently named Best Developer in Southeast Asia by Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2022, and received excellence awards for several of its residential condominium developments.

Wanted to say thank you to merci0125  for the info about the SMDC owners. 
LMH looks to be involved with a few big non Korean businesses. The recent figures from the New York Fendi show last year show what a massive impact his involvement has on brands. He really is becoming bigger then ever globally. Nobody deserves it more! 
 

Wish we had a date and a streamer for Ask the Stars

*** Recently, numerous celebrities have undergone tax audits, resulting in them paying additional taxes for miscellaneous earnings and income. I guess everyone's affected by the

 

recent changes and updates to the tax system in SK.

Lee Min Ho And His Agency Refute Tax Evasion Allegations

 

 

 

Lee Min Ho’s agency released a statement regarding tax evasion allegations.

 

On February 2, Aju News reported that the Seoul Regional Tax Service investigation department carried out an irregular (special) tax investigation against Lee Min Ho and his agency MYM Entertainment in September 2020 and imposed a fine of hundreds of millions of won (hundreds of millions of dollars).

 

In response to the report, MYM Entertainment released a statement that refutes the tax evasion allegations made against them, stating, “The agency and Lee Min Ho have been paying taxes dutifully, and there has never been a single shameful incident.”

 

Read the full statement below:

 

Hello. This is MYM Entertainment.

 

We would like to make this announcement to correct matters related to our agency and our agency’s artist.

 

The agency and actor Lee Min Ho have been paying taxes dutifully, and there has never been a single unsavory incident.

 

The current situation is an issue that arose due to a difference in interpretation of whether our artist’s previously dealt matter of “compensation for damages caused by the use of illegal portrait rights” was subject to taxation or not, and it was about an additional tax that was determined due to an accounting error in the process of handling corporate expenses. With regard to this, we have dutifully paid.

 

Thank you.

K-drama “bad boys” with a good heart ft. Lee Je Hoon, Lee Min Ho, and more 

These K-drama characters are bad boys, but they are still good boys on the inside. 

K-drama male lead image in recent years has been diversified, attracting more viewers. Many characters have the bad boy image but are actually nice, making it impossible for viewers to dislike them. Let’s take a look to see who they are. 

 

 

Heo Joon Jae (Lee Min Ho) – “Legend of the Blue Sea”

 

Heo Joon Jae played by Lee Min Ho in the 2016 drama “Legend of the Blue Sea” alongside Jun Ji Hyun once created much buzz. Heo Joon Jae is a professional con man. He takes on different identities to deceive people and make banks. 

 

But what’s unique is that Heo Joon Jae’s “victims” are usually rich and bad-tempered people. Sometimes the male protagonist’s approach to his “victims” not only helps him get rich but also gives bad people a valuable lesson.

 

Although Heo Joon Jae is liberal and somewhat careless, he gradually reveals positive aspects when he meets the mermaid Shim Chung (Jun Ji Hyun).

 

He is always willing to help and protect her. Later, when their love grows bigger and bigger, it is also when Heo Joon Jae chooses to give up his job as a con-artist and return to the honest life. Many viewers praised the “bad boy” Heo Joon Jae as he really fits their ideal type of boyfriend.
