Lee Min Ho is certainly one of the most well-known actors in South Korea and Asia. He is a talented artist who can sing and act so he has movies, drama series and music albums.
But although he is very popular, there are many things about his that fans may not know about. Many of them are surprised that fans may say, really?! In any case, here’s a list of facts that not many fans know about Min Ho.
He is not a swimmer
Lee Min Ho starred in “The Heirs,” and he had scenes where he surf. He learned surfing for that but the surprising thing is that he can’t even swim and this was divulged when he was interviewed once and asked who he would save is Kim Rae Won, Jung Il Woo or Kim Woo Bin are drowning to which he replied, “I can’t really swim.”
He is not comfortable saying his romantic lines in dramas
Unlike the confidence that he shows when delivering romantic lines in his dramas, the actor admitted that it is actually hard for him to say those cheesy words when filming because they also make him cringe. He said that he likes to do action more and cited “Gangnam Blues” as an example.
He is clumsy
Lee Min Ho often appeared sleek and mighty on his dramas, movies and even on red carpets but few people know that he is quite clumsy. In fact, in 2009, his tripping video at the BaekSang Arts Awards’ red carpet was even turned into memes.
He went into an all-boys school
The actor studied in an all-boys school in high school. He explained that this is the reason why he gets along with guys better than girls.
He received offers for Hollywood movies
Lee Min Ho was said to have received many acting job offers from Hollywood but he turned them down. He said that he is not yet ready for such big roles yet.
He has a stage name
As mentioned on Soompi, Lee Min Ho had a stage name when he first entered the show business. He was using Lee Min because his agency said that his real name is too ordinary. However, he found out that in Hangul, his stage name means "immigration" and this also made it hard for his name to be searched up on the internet, so he decided just to use his real name.
