On June 22, 1987, the future favorite of millions of girls was born in an ordinary metropolitan family, South Korean actor and model Lee Min Ho. Inaccessible and at the same time close. Popular but simple. He is sociable, but practically does not talk about himself. He has a strong competitive spirit, and at the same time he is rather lazy. Lee Min Ho combined seemingly absolutely incompatible features. But they are what make it so charming and unique.

As a child, Min Ho was far from dreaming of becoming an actor. However, in front of the items “fame” and “fame”, he already mentally ticked the boxes. And he wanted to glorify his name as a professional football player. Lee Min Ho was even selected for the junior national team, but after he was injured in the fifth grade of elementary school, he had to give up his dream of football. Although he is still addicted to it and watches broadcasts of football matches.

Although his role in the series was also not a leading one, it was she who laid the foundation for his acting career. But it was not possible to fully enjoy the first rays of glory of Lee Min Ho. In the same 2006, the actor had an accident, as a result of which he received serious injuries. During the treatment, Lee Min Ho was not only worried about the suspended acting: he was seriously afraid that he would no longer be able to walk. Min Ho spent about six months in the hospital, and then, after a full recovery, he returned to work.

In 2007, he starred in the TV series Go Mackerel Go!. Since this was Min Ho's first lead role, he had high hopes for this project. However, due to low ratings, Go Mackerel Go! it was decided to reduce from 24 to 8 episodes.
