He disclosed his love history that his first kiss was given to his girlfriend during his first year in high school in front of his girlfriend’s house. His last relationship was in his twenty when he fell in love with his university classmate. Ever since then, he remains single.

Feeling is more important than looks

He said: “I will look at overall style and feel. Not particularly beautiful, but ladies with feeling attracted me the most.”

Before ‘Boys Before Flowers’ was broadcast in South Korea, South Korea media reported about the scandal between him and one of the Davich members, ‘Kang Min Kyung’. The photo is shown on the internet. He said: “I’m really sorry about taking photos with my colleague, she has been mistaken as my girlfriend and everyone was having arguments about it.

Lee Min Ho’s Interview on WoW! Korea

English Translation by ml_87@soompi.com:

Lee Min Ho, 22 year-old Korean star, who made his debut in 2006 through a role in the drama “Secret Campus”. Then, he experienced such a hard long time in hospital because of a car accident. The hit drama "Boys Over Flowers" spreads Minho’s fame all over the continent and he is becoming a full potential Hallyu star.

We had an interview with this young guy this week.

【 About the role in BOF 】

Q: In the drama, there’s a scene when GJP throwing the cake into a girl’s face and spilling juice over another friend’s jacket. What’s your feeling then?

LMH: NG… We had to make those scenes several times. Such a harsh scene. I said laughingly: “ all right.” Since her face was full of cream, I thought she’s very cute.

Q: If you were a billionaire as GJP ?

LMH: There’re a lot of things that we could learn from a boy who’s in rich position like GJP, for example, he’s very responsible for what he does. It’s a lie if I say that I’m not a little jealous of him, right? Obviously, being a billionaire, I could do anything, like buying a big house, or anything I want. Although it’s vague, I enjoy living happily with my family and those I love. Such a life is good enough.

Q: If your best friend and you love the same girl?

LMH: It’s really a dilemma situation. Love is something that you cant arrange beforehand. If I know she’s his girlfriend from the beginning, I absolutely orient myself to not have those feelings. But, should it occur in reality, she’s the person who makes final decision.

Q: How about the friendship of F4 now?

LMH: Yeah, because we are busy with our own career, we often have unscheduled meets. At late nights, we drop at my appartment. We don’t like drinking so just playing games.

Q: Becoming a star thanks to the image of a “khotboda namja”, have your life and thinking changed yet?

LMH: Many people recognize me now, which makes me feel more responsible for whatever I do. I suppose it’s the biggest change. Also, thanks to this role, I receive higher appreciation and get more chance to consider various scripts. And I’m very glad of it.

【 About Lee Min Ho 】

Q: If you have 1 free month?

LMH: After the tight schedule, preparing for the next projects, simultaneously, I also want to complete my own plans. I’d love to travel the most. Venice, Italy. I have heard that Venice is sinking. Before it sinks, I'd like to go.

Q: How’s your 22 year-old?

LMH: I know that I don’t look like I’m 22 ( laugh). But I love meeting others, playing games like people at my age and also traveling with my family.

【About Japan 】

Q: Your impression about Japanese fans?

LMH: Feminine? I see that Japanese fans are a bit different from other countries’ fans. As you see, being a foreign visitor, I use my mother tongue; however, I still feel your closeness and love for me.

【 About next projects 】

Q: Is there any role that you will like to try out?

LMH: Mysterious character. I like horror films. Kind of character has various faces. Like the Korean drama called " Bittersweet Life". I wanna try a role who’s wise and manly.

Q: Your next role?

LMH: At the moment, I’m carefully considering the next work. I have studied quite a few scripts. I’d like to meet you in a great work soon.

【About the photobook】

LMH: The photobook, titled <“旅” Travel with MINHO>, would be released on Sept 30th. It captures my daily life: talking with travelers in the street, or cute kids, wandering dogs…. Each moment is snapped unnoticeably.

Q: Do you want to say something to Japanese fans?

LMH: I’m very happy to meet you on WoW! Korea. During this trip to Japan, I really appreciate your warm welcome. Again, i‘d like to express my gratefulness. Thank you. I’ll try even more and I would love to meet you again in a better image. Thanks for supporting me.

Lee Min Ho's Outlook on Love

Posted on Asiaeconomy, Reporter Hwang Yong-hee, 2009-09-05
English translated by loveminho.com


'BOF' Lee Min Ho unfolded his thoughts slightly about his 'outlook of love' and 'outlook of acting' in the Premier Event for BOF that was held at Yokohama National University Hall in the evening of September 5th.

In front of 4,000 Japanese fans that day, as a response to a question what would be the difference of the outlook of love between 'LMH himself' and 'BOF GJP', he said "While GJP's outlook of love is just very strong and aggressive regardless of the other party's feeling, real LMH approaches carefully at first when someone who I like appears, but becomes more aggressive when the other party shows good feeling to me and catches my sincerity. Therefore, I like the proverb most that 'Blessed are those who wait.' However, it is better to stay as a friend at first."

To the MC's question 'how you would act if you should love a girl that some other loves just like GJP and YJH', he answered "Even though it is my friend, it cannot be allowed if he breaks into our love as Jihoo did in the drama. However, I will not make such situation. I will tell my friend about this first and he might understand well enough". Also for the question 'Friendship first? or love first?" he answered "Friendship first, love after", which cause the audiences' applause.

LMH also mentioned about his outlook of acting that day.
For the question 'what kind of cast you would want to take', he revealed his implicit desire to take various experiences by saying "I would like to make action performance as well as heart-breaking melodramatic performance. But it would be better if it fits into my age."

For the question 'whether you had any hard times', he confessed "I almost gave up acting when I was a nameless actor" and showed he has considerably optimistic character, saying "I was hospitalized for 6 months due to car accident and could not work more than a year. This period was very tough time for me. But such a hard time probably made today's LMH"

Lastly, for the question 'how you spend time after 'BOF'', LMH indicated he was contacting various works, saying "Recently, I took photos in London and Sydney for a photoboto book. I lived with pleasant and bright attitude and put all these into photos. I will be able to meet my fans again with a good work soon."

MinSun TVB Interview in Taiwan (06/02/09)

Opening: Taiwan’s Meteor Garden and Japan’s Hana Yori Dango were big hits in 2002 & 2007. This year, Korean version “Boys Over Flowers” (BOF) had also been a success. The main cast Lee Min Ho & Goo Hye Sun visited Taiwan for BOF promotion last week. TVB had arranged an exclusive interview with them.

GHS: I have watched both the Taiwan & Japan version, and thought they were good. For Korea version, the plot is close to the comic that was very hilarious, thus I think it should be a more amazing one.

LMH: My view is more or less the same, though towards the second half of the series it feels a bit gloomy, the first half was really hilarious.

TVB: BOF has been a big hit across Asia, did you expect that before filming?

LMH: I have never thought of that. But I had strong desire to give my all for the character of GJP, therefore I put a lot of effort and tried my very best. And now it has become so popular, I am very happy and grateful.

TVB: You have become very popular after BOF, do you feel the pressure? If yes, how do you relieve that?

LMH: Instead of pressure, I have more a feeling of happiness. For the stress I got from current works…Since I don’t drink alcohol, I cannot relieve my pressure by drinking. It seems like I don’t have a concrete way to take pressure off, but I would forget all the stress after a sleep.

GHS: Since the Taiwan & Japan versions were successful, I had thought that Korea version would also be a success as well. And at the same time, I was afraid that our work would not be as good as the previous versions. So I’m just half confident and half worried. GJD is a bright, lively and brave girl that makes me feel that she’s very charming. Being as strong as a grass is another good point. I can understand the feelings of GJD, but audience might feel that she is faltering, very confused about love. This part makes me feel a bit disappointed.

TVB: A huge amount has been invested for the production on overseas shooting, branded apparels, super cars etc. Even Lee Min Ho enjoys those.

LMH: Since GJP is the heir of an affluent family, he is dressed in nice clothes, going to high-class places. I really enjoyed that part.

TVB: The relationship between GJP & GJD was disapproved by JP’s mum, what if this happen in reality?

LMH: In the drama, I also had a fiancé besides GJD. If this happen in real life, I would also choose the one I love. My personal view towards love is a bit different from that of GJP though, when being with my girlfriend, I want to be like friends that we argue and have little fights sometimes.

GHS: If this happens in reality, I would abandon the relationship if my parents disapprove that. Though we might have put a lot of effort to make it work, I won’t be that stubborn.

TVB: the main casts had car accidents in different occasion during the shoot; the drama had even stopped for one episode due to GHS’s injury from the car accident.

GHS: I was hospitalized due to the car accident; everyone came to visit me at the hospital. And jokingly said that we should stop filming for the drama that made me feel comfortable.

LMH: When Hye Sun was in hospital, I went to see her with others. Everyone felt sorry and worried when we heard about the accident; and everyone just left their works behind and went to visit her at the hospital. I feel that the team was really care about each other and was very touched.

TVB: BOF was a huge success, is there any chance to have part 2?

Producer: We cannot make another BOF without the permission of Ms. Kamio Yoko. In addition, we had already filmed/ used most of the plots in the manga. If we continue the story, we need to make that up on our own and it is not allowed by law in regards to copyright.

[Old LMH Interview] In the program 'Interview' on OBS TV

English translated by loveminho.com

I've translated this interview with the request of 은혜grace. 은혜grace, I am sorry if the translation is late.

This interview was aired on OBS TV last February and I omitted some parts of the interview that we've seen before among the 18 minute version of the video clip. If you watch the video clip or read this translation, you can see that the interviewer, Yoon PD, has slightly bewildered LMH with straight talk. But LMH answered kindly and honestly until the very end. If it's your first time knowing the content, you would be enchanted by his honesty once more.^^

Q: What appearance do you think appealed at the time of the casting?
LMH: At first, I didn't laugh out loud or anything like that. Second time, I think I showed them more of my real self and also more of the brighter side too.

Q: Do you think the perm made you more appealing?
LMH: I think it was influential. After I got the perm done, the director and other people told me that the look went well with me.

Q: It's been known that you have many friends?
LMH: I like hanging around with people. I like playing around. I have a few close friends.

Q: Do you like taking photos?
LMH: I like taking photos on my own and taking them with my close friends.

Q: What is the background on your mobile?
LMH: Its just a mickey mouse picture. No special name. Maybe a bit wicked mickey mouse. I made it my background because I like the slight double image.

Q: Who is your shortcut key #1?
LMH: I didn't have that done.

Q: You're well-intentioned competitors with Jung Il-woo?
LMH: Luckily, the dramas were aired on different days so there weren't any direct competition. I was a bit worried at first. I was worried that if we were put on the same hour, while acting cool on the outside, I worried that I'd might feel some sort of competitive spirit but luckily, we're airing on different days.

Q: What does the F4 usually do for fun?
LMH: All of us are competitive but Jun always wins after saying that he doesn't know how to.

Q: Have you guys been to a night club? It'd be crazy if you guys booked..
LMH: You think we could go?

Q: The club would go crazy ^^
LMH: I don't think we could, with everyone recognizing us.

Q: Is the scandal with Kang Min-kyung true?
LMH: She's a kid sister that I've known since I was 20-years old... We had a scandal at the time of her debut... I think it was just brought up again this time around...

Q: What is your relationship with Park Bo-young?
LMH: She's another kid sister that I've started my debut project with... I've completed 3 projects with her and she's like a sister that I adore.

Q: When was your first love?
LMH: When I was 20 years old.

Q: It sounds like Min-kyung?
LMH: No. When I had a girlfriend, Min-kyung used to meet with us as well.

Q: Why did you break up?
LMH: After about a year... there were a few problems that occurred

Q: Because of the accident?
LMH: It was about that time. The scars of first love was then as well.
I wasn't able to move and unable to see the person that I missed...

Q: Have you guys contacted each other after your recent popularity?
LMH: Yes. After that, we've remained as good friends in contact.

Q: You're nice? I wouldn't be able to do that
LMH: But I wasn't able to see her as much as my other friends.

Q: Don't see her... You're a star now.
LMH: Haha... What to say... (straight talk of the bewildered Yoon PD )

Q: You don't have to see her
LMH: How can I do that, she's my first love...

Q: Your Ms. Right? Someone who feels comfortable
LMH: Rather than comfortable...

Q: Easygoing?
LMH: Yes, I think girls who are fun to be around with are good.

Q: In detail
LMH: Since I like playing around, something that I can't explain... something like harmony...

Q: Koo Hye-sun...
LMH: Hahaha Hye-sun's nice and a lot of fun... But something that can't be put into words when talking to one another... something like harmony...

Q: She should have a pretty face
LMH: If I said I didn't look at appearances, it'd be a lie

Q: Don't like chubby?
LMH: Hahaha... I like someone who's bit healthy rather than too skinny.

Q: It seems like you keep talking about Koo Hye-sun...
LMH: Hye-sun is skinny.

Q: No, she's healthy (Trying to knit him together with KHS)
LMH: How is Hye-sun chubby??

Q: Among the celebrities, what style?
LMH: Song Hye-kyo or Sin Min-ah...

Q: Do you think about marriage? It's a strange question for a twenty something...
LMH : Maybe when I'm about 32...

Q: Not too far ahead?
LMH: Still 9 years ahead ^^ I think 32 would be appropriate after workings hard and making lots of money for the 9 years. But then I don't know.

Q: Children?
LMH: I haven't thought about children.

Q: With the current popularity, I think marriage at 42 would be difficult. You're not simple-minded with points like married women should always make breakfast?
LMH: No, I'm not that simple-minded.

Q: However, that is a real problem when it comes to marriage.
LMH: My mom is a very good cook so it worries me that the food my wife makes should be good. But since marriage is still a far away...

Q: I'll ask Song Hye-gyo if she's a good cook.
LMH: Haha

Q: Your acting philosophy?
LMH: I try hard to act with the most honest eye expressions and actions.

Q: You're very honest. I wonder how your parents raised you so well. Were there any objections from the parents in becoming an actor?
LMH: No there wasn't... They rather supported me and told me to work hard in what I pursued.

MinSun Interview for TBS King's Brunch (Japanese TV program) 08/08/09

And the long wait is over....
MinSun interview (07/28/09) @ Namsan/Teddy Bear Museum is finally out!

They look good together and sooo adorable!
It's so fitting that the interview was done inside the Namsan cable car
where JunDi had their first date in BOF.

(1) I love the affectionate way MinSun greeted each other.
(2) MinSun matching body movements
(3) cute teddy bear kisses
(4) MinSun chemistry in display

English translated by susamerica@soompi:

@1:20 MC introduces herself.

@2:05 MC and GHS meet at Namsan and GHS looks very pretty.

@2:38 GHS: It is an honor to meet the Japanese audience this way. I hope that you all enjoy
watching it.

@2:49 The MC asks the onlookers if they like BOF and they all answer yes.
She asks them what they liked about it.One says she liked everything,the bitter and
sweet love, the swing scene where Joonpyo and Jandi kiss was so charming...

They show the spots around Namsan where they filmed.

@3:37 MC sits where JP sat waiting for JD in the cold.

@3:43 GHS: That day all I remember is how cold it was. It was so cold that we had to share
a portable heater during filming and try to overcome the difficulty of the cold
weather of that winter.

@4:01 MC: Was the filming long that day?

GHS: Yes, we had to work throughout the whole night until the next morning.

@4:15 They meet up with LMH. GHS calls out LMH and MC calls him with ssi at the end of his
name out of respect.

GHS jokingly says to LMH: Were you pretending that you did not see us?

@4:43 MC: Has it been a long time since you each other?

GHS: We saw each other about three weeks ago.

MC: Three weeks ago, for reason did you see each other?

LMH: She is so multi-talented that she had a gallery opening that day so I went to support and to see her.

@5:43 MC asks where they sat for the filming of the cable cart scene and both show how they
sat trying not to touch each other.

GHS comments that, that day, LMH had a runny nose that "trickle, trickle down".
Then LMH says that GHS has a runny nose that flow, flow down".

They are just making fun of each other as they always have done even on the set in a joking way.
(They were describing how their nose ran--MH is saying if my nose trickled down, HS' nose flowed down.)

@5:45 MC: Was there any memorable event that day in the cable car?

LMH: I really fell asleep on her shoulder---

MC: Because you were so tired?

LMH says Yes.

@6:18 MC:Did you know about the original work of BOF before being casted?

LMH: It is such a famous original work that I knew about it.
But after I was casted, I saw the original dramas already made.

MC: Once casted, how did you feel?

LMH: I felt so lucky for have been casted for such a wonderful role. It felt like I won a lottery.

(They visit the Teddy Bear Museum and look around. I think JP and JaeKyung went on a date there. GHS was saying these bears are good as gifts.)

@8:05 MC: In the BOF drama, both JP and JD had many scenes where they really could not
be very honest about feelings for each other. If you are dating somebody, would
you be any different or same to the person that you are interested in?

GHS: I tend to be honest about those things and express my feelings.

MC: Even before the other person confess his feelings?

GHS: Yes, because I have no patience to wait. I have a personality that cannot wait.

LMH: For me, I think I would be more careful. If I like somebody, I will take a long time to just observe that person and see.

MC: Did you ever receive any special, romantic event or gift from a boyfriend before?

GHS: Yes, there was a time that I did receive such. However, I prefer to give than to get.

MC: like what?

GHS: I have not done this yet, but I would like to get a license to operate a plane and take my boyfriend on a plane ride.

LMH: The person riding beside you would be scared to death! (Laughter breaks out.)

Both LMH first and GHS say their good byes with asking the audience to watch and enjoy BOF and
to take care of their health in hot weather.

Yesterday, LMH & KHS were filmed with the Japanese press while moving to several locations such as Teddy Bear Museum, Mt. Nam San, Cable Car station, a restaurant near Han river. LMH had an exclusive interview at the restaurant near the Han river. and MH wore a white shirt and a black vest. I read from several afternotes yesterday that LMH is really kind. He kindly responded the fans' questions or encouragement during the busy day. I am very proud of him. ^^

An afternote from one fan who saw LMH at the Nam san cable car station where GunPyo & Jandi had a first date. (All the afternotes are from DC gall)
I just got back home from Mt. Nam San.

When I heard the message from DC gall that LMH was filming in Mt. Nam San about 2:20, I decided not to go at first because I might arrive after the filming. After 10 minutes, I could not help going to the location to get a glimpse of LMH.

Personally I am a strict driver but today I drove really fast. I tried to park my car in the parking lot near the Namsan cable car station, but the parking lot was full. I am curious why the parking lot was still open in spite of it's being full.

The working man told me, "Here it is full. Please go to another parking lot." But he constantly kept looking above me while giving me the directions .

"What?" "What is behind me?" I turned my head.

A car is coming. " Oh, my god!! "Cadillac Escalade"

That's MH's car. That's why the parking lot was still open in spite of it's being full.

The working man hurried to say to me, "Go out! go!"

'I came here to see MH'
I parked my car in the next parking lot in a hurry and ran quickly to see MH. His car was there but MH wasn't there. A lot of body guards were in the parking lot and I was looking for him.


I heard one body guard say "Take the Escalade key from LMH's mananger" as he was coming down the stairs from the Cable Car Station.

"MH?" I ran up to the Cable Car Station.

"Is LMH there?"

One Korean staff answered "NO, they left here after filming"

"I saw his car. He is here'

"Yes, he is in the waiting room. How did you know ?


That time, the door of the waiting room was opened. First I saw Miss Koo, then another lady and then MH. After a while, they came out of the room. Today's MH look was the same style as he was in Changwon.

It's my first time to see KHS, she is so beautiful. Her face is really white and pure, her eyes are very big as I imagined. Her legs are very thin.


They were filmed play fighting on the stairs for 5 minutes. As they seemed ready to go down to the car, I hurried to go down to his car.


There were some fans in the parking lot, but the body guards strongly restrained the fans from taking photos. So we couldn't take his photos. What a pity!! I have his image only in our mind. After 2 minutes, MH came down to the car with a bright smile. His face was shining but seemed to have some pimples.


His manager sat in the driver seat while MH sat in the back seat of the car. 2 staff girls got in the car. One sat in the front seat and one sat in the next to MH. Wow, next to MH!!! I was jealous of her so much. What good things did she do before so that she could be sitting next to MH.^^


Many staff's cars followed his car. But my car was in the next parking lot, I couldn't follow them anymore. Can you imagine? My mouth extended from ear to ear because I saw MH up close. If I didn't see him there, I would be still looking for him here and there in Mt. Nam San.



An afternote from another fan who saw LMH at the Teddy Bear Museum in Mt. NamSan.
As soon as my friend and me heard the news that MH was having an interview in Mt. Nam San, I ran there without hesitation; Go !! Go!!

When I was driving toward Mt. Nam San, I saw one car which was very familiar to MH's fans.^^

These days there are a lot of 'Cadillac Escalade's here and there, I checked the license plate of the car first, and that was his car. I was pleased to see his car and I kept going to Mt, Nam San tower.


We went up the tower and looked around. There were some noise from one side. I asked the attendant of the Museum, "What happened?" The attendant answered "There will be a filming until 3 :00. You may have some trouble seeing the exhibits. "


We walked around here and there. Suddenly LMH showed up from the exit door. LMH wore the same outfit as in others' afternotes. MH looked like a college freshmen. KHS wore black clothing.


MH moved to another side. So we gave up following him and went to the second exhibition to see Teddy Bears. Suddenly the body guards came in and asked us to get out of the hall. We came out of there, and we were taking photos of each other .

I clearly heard MH's voice among the noise. MH laughed constantly. What made MH laugh so much?^^

We asked one staff from the museum pretending to be clueless, "Is there a filming here?" The staff from the museum, "Yes, there is the filming for BOF. Bla Bla...there is also an interview scheduled.

"Really, Who came here?"

"LMH and KHS were here."

"LMH? "Can we see him?"


LMH and KHS were filmed walking around the museum and had an interview in front of the souvenir shop and lobby.

We waved to LMH when we came in eye contact. He waved to us too. I couldn't close my mouth.

After the interview, MH went down to the basement by taking the elevator. I heard MH is going to a restaurant near the Han River.


Here is the last afternote from another fan who saw LMH at the restaurant near Han river.
We were outside of the restaurant when LMH was having an exclusive interview with Japanese press in the restaurant.

Since I couldn't see MH beyond the window, I walked to back to choose the best place to see MH by using the camera zoom lens. Through my camera, I could see him but not clear.

When MH dropped out of my camera view, I ran to the restaurant again. Oh, MH was in the car. Luckily the car window was opened, we waved to him. He waved to us with a shining smile. We can't express how cool he is!!!!

According to some fans' messages from DC gallery, Lee Min Ho and Koo Hye Sun were filmed while getting an interview with the Japanese press(TBS?) at the Teddy Bear Museum in Mt. NamSan, Seoul this afternoon.


LMH wore a white T-shirt under a blue checkered shirt, purple-gray skinny pants and yellow sneakers(today the shirt had also a wrong button style.^^). KHS wore a black dress, black leggings and high heels.

LMH & KHS walked around the museum and the press filmed following them. Some fans ran there to see LMH as soon as they got the information about it, but they couldn't take his photos since the Japanese press strongly restrained the fans from taking photos. What a pity!!
