Lee Min-ho is an accomplished South Korean actor and singer, considered among the top Hallyu stars of the day. Although he aspired to be a professional footballer since childhood, an injury suffered during elementary school forced him to give up football and follow his father’s dream into acting. Majoring in Film & Art from the ‘Konkuk University’ and joining ‘Starhaus Entertainment’, he initially did several small roles in TV before landing up to his breakthrough role of Gu Jun-pyo in TV series ‘Boys Over Flowers’. The role not only earned him several awards including Best New Actor (TV) award at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards but also garnered him huge fame and popularity in Korea and several parts of Asia. The role proved to be a stepping stone to his burgeoning career that saw him performing in lead roles in several other series, most notably ‘The Legend of the Blue Sea’, ‘City Hunter’ and ‘The Heirs’. This South Korean heartthrob has also made a mark in big-screen with films like ‘Bounty Hunters’ and ‘Gangnam Blues’. His musical pursuits include two albums ‘My Everything’ and ‘Song for You’.
