Lee Min Ho reminisces about the times 15 years ago when he starred in the drama " Boys Over Flowers ". Since playing the main character as Gu Jun Pyo, a conglomerate's son who falls in love with a simple girl Geum Jan Di (Ku Hye Sun), Min Ho's career has skyrocketed.
It is undeniable that the drama that aired in 2009 was one of the hits at that time. On December 25, 2024, Min Ho guested on the show "You Quiz on the Block" hosted by Yoo Jae Suk (Yoo Jae Seok) and Jo Se Ho. At that moment, Min Ho talked about "Boys Over Flowers".
He recalled that he auditioned for the curly hair look. Min Ho deliberately looked like that because he was aiming for the character Gu Jun Pyo, the main character in the drama. "I went to the audition with that hairstyle," he said.
When asked why he was eyeing the role of Gu Jun Pyo, he honestly revealed his ambitions, saying, "If I were going to do it, I would want to play the main character." In addition, Min Ho also said that he had cried secretly because of the role.
Unfortunately, Min Ho's words were censored, so the public does not know for sure what caused the actor to cry. "I went to the corner and cried. I cried sadly so that no one would know," he added. At that moment, Min Ho also revealed about his different stage name at the beginning of his debut.
He shared, "I removed the 'ho' from Lee Min Ho and used the name 'Lee Min'." Min Ho's confession certainly surprised Jae Suk and Se Ho at first. However, Jae Suk argued, "It sounds cool at first glance," and revealed the signature Min Ho used when he was an immigrant.
Se Ho then pointed out, "It looks like he wrote 'Lee Min Ho' and then erased the 'ho' character." This newly revealed fact successfully made the three of them laugh. Not without reason, Min Ho explained, "I think it was the first autograph in my life. I did it without thinking and then thought, 'Oh, it's me, Lee Min Ho'," which made everyone laugh.
They did not expect the story told by Min Ho, thinking that the actor had used the name "Lee Min Ho" since the beginning of his career in the Korean entertainment industry. Still on the same show, Min Ho also revealed about himself who was once casted by SM Entertainment.
"I was casted three times by SM," admitted Min Ho. Jae Suk looked shocked because he just realized that Min Ho indeed has handsome facial features that match SM's image. "It definitely matches SM's image. I just realized it, yeah I got goosebumps," praised the National MC.
