Lee Min-ho holds birthday fanmeeting

Lee Min-ho turns 23 on June 22, and to celebrate the event, the rising star held a fanmeeting on the 20th. The event was also in conjunction with the second anniversary of his fan club “Minoz”; titled A Special Day With Min-ho, the gathering was open to 4,500 of his fans.

The fanmeeting was attended by a contingent of overseas fans who flew in from Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and China. A number of Lee Min-ho’s star friends and co-stars also appeared, such as Jung Il-woo, Kim Bum, and Younha, and the day was hosted by comedian Yoon Hyung-bin.

First off, can I just say that I love that he has a near-life-size version of his Jin-ho doll? The stuffed animal from his last drama Personal Taste didn’t take off like the pig-rabbit or the Samsoon pig dolls, but it was a cute part of the drama (Sohn Ye-jin often used him as a punching bag for airing out her grievances with his character).

Asked what his most-wanted birthday present was, he answered, “a girlfriend.” He added, “I’d like a person I can travel with on quiet trips.” (Talk about a fanservicey answer, huh? Then again, considering he’s in the presence of nearly five thousand rabid fangirls, it’s also probably the wisest answer.)

He sang two songs for his fans, who asked if he has any desire to make a singing debut. he answered, “I have the desire, but not the skill.” (As you may recall, he recorded a song for the Boys Before Flowers “F4 Special” called “My Everything.” Here’s a live performance of the song, which is surprisingly good.)

Lee Min-ho has now had two leading roles in drama series, Boys Before Flowers in 2009 and Personal Taste this year. The former was a pan-Asian hit; the latter was less successful, but when’s all said and done I’d contend that Lee still benefited from the role, and he drew a lot of praise for it. You could also reasonably argue that the drama would have been a (bigger) flop without him. (Sohn Ye-jin was wonderful in it, but her career didn’t hinge on the drama the way his did.) He expressed his wish to act in a movie as well, saying, “If the role is grounded in logic and shows an appealing character, I’m ready to do it anytime.”


My own affection for Lee Min-ho is rooted in his mix of bashfulness and charm — and how his personal dorkiness is a stark contrast to the characters he has played, who have been cool, commanding, and haughty. The minute he drops character, he’s this kinda-bumbling boy, and it’s adorable. (I mean, just look! He’s wearing a bowtie like his mother dressed him thinking he’s still ten! If he weren’t so good-looking, he’d never be cool, lol. But that’s why I like him.) It also further highlights his skill in jumping into character, and while I think he’s got tons of growth ahead of him as an actor, I also think he’s got a lot of talent that exceeds his as-yet-limited experience.

Lee Min-ho’s close friend Jung Il-woo and previous co-star Kim Bum were special guests, as were his Personal Taste co-stars Jung Sung-hwa (who played Sang-jun) and 2AM’s Im Seul-ong. In addition, singer Younha sang her song from the Personal Taste OST.

I am glad that Lee Min Ho seem like he's really having so fun time and enjoy to do while his 23rd birthday, especially for some of guests and close friend he have, too!

I think it'd be nice for me to say to him -- "I wish you for a Happy 23rd B-Day and have a lot of fun time for your special b-day!" (sighs) Isn't it cute? Hmm, I like seeing some of these picture of Lee Min Ho's B-day, of course.

How BRAVO!

He looks great no matter what he wears, isn't it? That's the advantages of being tall, slim and with good features. he doesn't even need to do anything and he shines whenever he appears..

Good looks and great acting skills, he deserved more than this.. there are very very few young actors like him who do well in their area. That's why i like him so much.

Was that Jung Sung-hwa attending LMH's bday w/ fans? He is so funny. I'm still crossing my finger for Sang-jun and Young-sun spinoff [PT], really!

For a nanosecond, scanning from bottom up Min-ho can pull off as Erkel more missing nerdy glasses on. One can be glad when LMH finds sincere joy sharing his bday w/ others.

Happy Bday Lee Min-ho! Keep your star shining bright and stunning.

The boy is such a sweetie! And as strange as it is to wish him happy birthday on a site he'll probably never read, Happy 23rd Lee Minho!

The party certainly looked like a blast.

Thanks JB for this!

Missing PT & really really cant wait for LMH next projects.

Honestly yeah, i agree with u. PT can be a flop without LMH.
thinking about this, i cant help but feel dissapointed again.
i mean, i know i'm quite picky in choosing my drama to watch.
but its very rare i meet kdrama that has bad music, its placement, editing & stuff. to count, out of dramas that i've watched which is a lot if i must say, only BOF & PT have this problem & Minho were in both of them. why oh why!?! normally, problem with my other dramas were on their plot like it became dragging, repetitive etc. I really reallyy hope Minho can be with a great drama/movie production after this. he's hell tallented.

n yeah. i'm always impressed with how he can swiftly change into his character.
its mostly noticeable during BOF. maybe bcoz i didnt watch that many BTS of PT yet. but in BOF bts i remembered how one minute he was fooling around & laughing with his co-stars, when the director called start he completely back into his character.

Anyway, happy birthday Minho!

i hope to see him in one great drama after this.
i dont mind whatever genre he's in. i just want to watch him in something good. he deserves it.

Everything you`ve said is on my mind. With his talent, he really does deserve to be in a good drama/ movie for once. And sooooooon.

That live singing wasn't half bad. I agree with what he said about not having the skill, cuz to be honest his voice doesn't really sound that great, but he was on pitch for nearly the entire song, which surprised me, cuz the cd track sounded pretty weak.

I didn't enjoy personal taste much (ugh the writing sucked), but I know this boy's gonna be in some good shows over the next few years!

From the photographs you posted, ( thanks javabeans )
it looks as if the main ingredient at LMH's birthday party
was laughter. Good fun among friends and fans.

I hope that future career choices will be well thought out,
and that we can watch this guy evolve with each new role.
Happy Birthday, ( stay normal ) and wishing LMH all the best!

He is an actor first, and a star second. He is such a good actor that I wish he would be given a more challenging role in his next project. His best feature is his "smile". He strikes me as a really nice young man. I hope that his fame won't change him and that he will always be grateful to his fans. Stay grounded, Minho, and a Happy, Happy Birthday!! God Bless You Always!

Happy Birtday Lee Min Ho, sarange...

He's just beautiful, no matter how he dress. When I saw any male actor who wears those kind of trousers that show their ankles which become a trend right now, I always think about the way LMH dressed in Personal Taste. And I think no actor seem more fit than him in those kind of trousers. Any actor just seem like " So, you just have your home in flood?" ha, ha, ha (from Indonesian girl who often have her home in flood and have to pull up her pants so it doesn't get wet).
