But Min Ho’s parents could not even think that their beloved son would ever become an actor, because Lee was too shy - even small performances at children’s matinees became a lot of stress for the child. Despite this, the artist enjoyed success with women from an early age.

Little Min Ho became interested in taekwondo and football - the boy was even enrolled in the youth team led by former striker Cha Bum-Kun, but the injury put an end to his desire to become a professional football player. However, in sports clubs, Lee met new friends who helped Min Ho form a positive attitude towards himself.

In high school, managers began to often approach the handsome, tall young man in search of young talents - the student’s pockets were literally filled with business cards of those who predicted wild fame for him. At first, Lee's parents dismissed the idea, believing that their son did not have enough talent to become a successful actor.

However, Min Ho decided to try his luck and began going to auditions - by that time the idea of an acting career was firmly stuck in his head. Eventually, Min Ho signed a contract with the agency Starhaus Entertainment, which provided him with regular shoots for a fashion magazine and a daily salary of 50,000 won (about $45).

After graduating from school, Min Ho became a student at the private Seoul Konguk University - the young man entered the department of cinema and television.

Films and TV series

Min Ho began his acting career at the age of 15 with a cameo role as a schoolboy in the drama “Romance” (2002); Two more episodic roles went to Min Ho in the TV series “Cool 1” (2003-2005) and “Recipe for Love” (2005), but the series was not successful with the public, and the young actor’s talent has so far remained unnoticed.

But after filming the series “Secrets of the Schoolyard” (2006), fame literally overwhelmed young Min Ho. The Internet was full of questions: “Who is this handsome actor?”, and relatives and friends were incredibly happy that Lee had finally “begun to be shown on TV.”

After the incredible success of the series about the relationships between six schoolchildren in 2007, Min Ho was invited to film three dramas with an interesting plot, two of which received high ratings from the audience - “Go, Mackerel, Go!” and “I am a teacher.”

But the main success was still ahead: after participating in the fairly successful film projects “Our English Teacher” and “Get Up!” (“But I Don’t Know too”) in 2009, Lee was cast in one of the main roles in the drama “Boys Over Flowers.” Perhaps, after the release of this particular drama, the 22-year-old actor began to be recognized not only in South Korea, but in all countries of the world.

All subsequent dramas in which Min Ho starred - “Personal Preference” (2010), “City Hunter” (2011), “Faith” (2012), “The Heirs” (2013) - collected a decent box office, and about incredible talent and charm Min Ho did not reason only if he was lazy.

Finally, in 2014, the actor received his first leading role in a full-length film called “Gangnam 1970” (“Gangnam Blues”). The brutal film about power and collusion during the booming years of the Gangnam district in Seoul introduced viewers to the “new” Min Ho – it became clear that he was not just a “romantic handsome guy”, but a strong and versatile actor.

However, Min Ho returned to his usual role in his next project – the mini-series “Love Online”. The next full-length Chinese-Korean film with Lee in the title role, “Headhunters,” received slightly lower ratings from critics and viewers, but on the day of its premiere in Chinese cinemas, the film was in first place in the country’s box office.

The years 2013-2016 can be called extremely fruitful for the actor: between filming dramas and films, Min Ho managed to record several songs and release two albums, receive many awards and film awards, become an ambassador of Korean tourism, receive the title of honorary ambassador of the 2018 Winter Olympics, establish a charitable foundation and donate $100 million to UNICEF to help earthquake victims in Nepal.

In May 2020, Min Ho signed a contract with the new agency MYM Entertainment, which was headed by his sister Lee Yoon Kyung, and began working on new interesting projects - the fantasy series “Legend of the Blue Sea” and the melodramatic drama “Seven First Dates.”

Since childhood, Lee dreamed of becoming a professional football player. He was part of a youth football team managed by Cha Bum Koon, but an injury suffered in the 5th grade of elementary school put an end to his dream. However, Lee Min Ho still loves football, his favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo. Since his second year of high school, Lee Min Ho began modeling and receiving acting training. After training, Lee went on to audition, which led to him playing small roles in several television dramas such as Nonstop 5 and Recipe of Love. He made his official debut as an actor in the drama Schoolyard Secrets. In this project, Lee collaborated for the first time with actress Park Bo Young, who became one of his best friends. When Min Ho had to do fight scenes, he fought for real. The actor even broke his finger. The drama "Schoolyard Secrets" received a relatively satisfactory rating. In 2006, he was forced to temporarily step away from his career because... got into a serious accident in which he was quite seriously injured. The actor spent several months bedridden. They inserted iron rods into his right thigh and knee. He was in the hospital for seven months and could not act in films for a year and a half. What he was most upset about was that he was scheduled to appear in the comedy Unstoppable Kick and the mini-drama Love Like Baseball. After his recovery, Lee Min Ho landed his first leading role in the school drama Go Mackerel, Go! in 2007, but the series was shortened to 8 episodes due to low ratings. Even though the drama was cut short, Lee experienced many difficulties during filming. There was a scene where he was supposed to drown in the Han River. The actor was hanging on a wire and was completely under water, but after filming no one asked how he was feeling. When Min Ho got into the car, his body smelled like garbage and his skin was covered in red spots. Lee said he was even more upset when he heard that filming would be interrupted. Although this drama left many painful memories, Go Mackerel, Go! had a huge influence on the casting of Lee in her next project, Our English Teacher (2008). In 2008, he played several supporting roles in the dramas Get On Up! and “I am a teacher,” and also starred in the film “Public Enemy 3: The Return.” While filming the latest drama, he became friends with actor Kim Soo Ro, who once said in an interview, “When we worked together, I immediately realized that Lee Min Ho would achieve great success and become one of the most popular actors in South Korea.” .

At the beginning of his career, Lee Min Ho went by the stage name Lee Min because his agency told him that his real name was too common. However, his stage name was pronounced and written in the same way as the Korean word "Limin", which means "immigration", and this caused difficulties for the actor, especially when information about him was searched on the Internet. He eventually decided to work under his real name.

His breakthrough came in 2009 when he played the lead role in the drama Boys Over Flowers. In this project, he collaborated with actress Goo Hye Sun. The series is an adaptation of the popular Japanese television drama Boys Over Flowers, which was based on the popular manga. The competition for the leading role was very high, Lee got this role only because his face was already known to the public, plus he often appeared in the media. The actor learned from a newspaper article that he had been cast in the role of Gu Jun Pyo. Min Ho didn't have a driver's license, but he had to film a car driving scene and got his license in a hurry. In January 2008, he crashed into a fence while filming but was not seriously injured. Other actors also often got into car accidents. Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Joon, Kim Bum were involved in a traffic accident, and Goo Hye Sun was hospitalized for four days, causing a delay in airing new episodes. All the accidents happened because the actors were very tired from filming. One day, Min Ho caught a cold after filming in the pool because the water was freezing. He felt unwell, but had to film a rugby game scene immediately afterwards. Midway through filming, the actor collapsed and was taken to the emergency room. However, the series has come to be considered one of the best Korean series and has gained recognition throughout Asia.

When asked why he took on the role, Lee responded, “I think I'll be able to play more challenging and defined roles when I'm older. I think 'Personal Preference' was perfect for me at the moment because it's a bright, fun show that you can laugh and cry at."

In 2011, he played the lead role in the drama City Hunter, which was based on the popular manga. The drama was also very popular throughout Asia, which contributed to Lee's popularity, especially in Japan, the Philippines and China, and even in parts of Europe.

First steps and debut recognition

While still at school, in 2002, at the age of 15, the future star was invited to a small role in the dramatic film “ Roman ,” where he starred as a schoolboy.

A year later, the young man appeared in the multi-part series “ Cool ,” which was filmed over two years, as well as in the drama “ Recipe ,” but the talent of the young actor was not noticed by the public.

After the release of the film “ Secret Campus I Am a Teacher in 2007, many people fell in love with the young actor Lee Min Ho.

He attracted the attention of women with his refined beauty and impeccable acting talent.

And when the television series “ Secrets of the Schoolyard ” was launched, the young man woke up famous in the morning. The story about 6 schoolchildren touched television viewers, and directors began to invite Min Ho to other films. How many years have passed, but the actor remains in demand not only in his homeland, but also in other countries.

In 2006, he was involved in an accident, as a result of which he spent 7 months in treatment and for another year and a half rejected offers for filming in the media.

And the film “ Forward, mackerel, forward ” conquered the whole world.

But the success of the talented actor lay ahead. Two years later, the filmography was replenished with the films “ Get Up!” " and " Our English Teacher ", which earned incredible success.

After a successful film project, Min Ho was given the main role in the television series “ Boys Over Flowers ” and after its release, the 22-year-old boy became famous throughout the world and became the dream of many girls who were ready to give him their hearts.

In 2011, filming began for the film “ City Hunter ,” where Park Shin Hye and Lee Min Ho, the future star couple, met.

This was followed by regular filming in dramas, in which the actor appeared before the public as a romantic hero. The television series collected colossal box office receipts, and talk about the young man’s talent and charm did not subside among female viewers.

It should be noted that Lee Min Ho's kisses and sex scenes in dramas have a restrained style, so the films starring the star are quite aesthetic and romantic.

2014 was a turning point for the actor. He was invited to play a role in the film " Gangnam 1970 ", where he played not a cute romantic young man, but a strong, confident man.

In addition to stage activities, the actor practiced vocals, recorded and released music albums with hits. You can listen to his songs by downloading them on the Internet or buying a disc. Min Ho has earned respect among music lovers as a singer.

He also set up a charitable foundation and became an ambassador for the Winter Olympics last year. Today the video “8 Letters” is very popular, which has a huge number of views. The video consists of small fragments of the life of the famous actor.
