Philstar Its raining Min-ho
By Don Jaucian (The Philippine Star)
MANILA, Philippines As an actor, Lee Min-ho broke out on Philippine TV as Gu Jun-pyo in Boys Over Flowers and Perfect Match. More recently, his fans saw him on City Hunter, in a darker role as a son hell-bent on avenging his fathers death. Its not the role youd usually associate Min-ho with. Although his towering six-foot frame can be intimidating, his smile is disarming enough to make you think that you could take him home to your family as your future husband.
Hes in town this week as Benchs latest Global Benchsetter, joining fellow Koreans Siwon and Donghae of Super Junior, who also visited Manila. With a Fun Meet centered as the highlight of his visit, Filipino fans of Min-ho will finally get the chance to get to interact with him and know him more.
Straight from the airport, Min-ho sat down with Supreme and talked about his wardrobe, being a crossover star, and learning the Filipino martial art of arnis.
SUPREME: For City Hunter, you had to learn the Filipino martial art of arnis. How did your training go?
LEE MIN-HO: I trained for two to three months. It was a very fast kind of martial arts where there were a lot of rapid hand movements and it attacks the pressure points [of the body] but so far it seems like the best exercise for me.
SUPREMEWhat makes you think your TV shows make for a crossover hit across Asia?
LEE MIN-HOFirst of all, I find it really fascinating and surprising that my work is shown all over Asia and a lot of people can relate to them. There is a language and cultural barrier, but to see that its so well loved by everyone makes me very happy. Reversely, I also watch a lot of TV shows from other parts of Asia and I can also feel the happiness and joy that they bring me. So I feel that even if people grow up in different environments, as humans at the core, we all appreciate the same things.
SUPREMEYoure an endorser for a lot of brands around Asia. What made you sign on with Bench?
LEE MIN-HOI thought Bench was a very accessible brand. A lot of people liked it so I thought that since this was my first Philippine project, it would be a good brand to take on first. I also feel that its a very global and unique brand so I feel very honored to be part of the Bench family.
SUPREMEOne part of being an endorser is seeing your face in billboards, ads, and campaigns. Are you comfortable with that kind of exposure?
LEE MIN-HOI actually saw the huge billboard with my face on it and I felt honored to see that on my first visit here. It made me very happy.
SUPREMEWhats the most common article of clothing in your wardrobe?
LEE MIN-HOI usually prefer dark colored and monotone kind of clothes. Because its winter right now [in South Korea], I have a lot of thick clothes in my closet. Usually coats.
SUPREMEHere in the Philippines, a lot of people look up to Korean actors so they also emulate their hairstyles. Do you do anything special to take care of and maintain your hairstyle?
LEE MIN-HOTo be very specific about it (laughs), I like to give volume to the sides and the back. It also depends on what Im working on. Its usually when Im in a drama series that I try to change my hair according to the character that I play.
SUPREMEYour work is mostly on TV. Do you ever plan on in making more films?
LEE MIN-HOIm very much interested in doing movies. I really love watching them. I watch movies more than anything else. But I havent encountered a project yet that I really want to do. When I find that project, Id definitely be presenting that movie to everyone.
SUPREMEWhats the craziest thing that a fan has ever done to you?
LEE MIN-HOI was in the airport and one fan actually pinched my butt (laughs).
