South Korean actor Lee Min-ho has thanked his legion of fans worldwide for their blessings and birthday gifts which filled up a room.
The K-idol, who turned 36 last Thursday, posted on social media a video and photos of himself in a room stacked with gifts. He wrote in Korean: “It was initially not a special day today, but it became more special thanks to all of you. Thank you.”
The South Korean heartthrob looked both happy and slightly embarrassed at the overwhelming number of presents. He used one of his hands to form a half-heart shape to thank his fans at the end of the video.
Lee shot to global fame playing the rich and arrogant Gu Jun-pyo in the hit TV drama series Boys Over Flowers (2009), the South Korean adaptation of the popular Japanese manga series of the same name.
Critical acclaim followed with award-winning performances in City Hunter (2011) and The Heirs (2013), earning him the Chinese-language nickname Nan Shen (Male God).
Last seen as an enigmatic fish broker in the period drama Pachinko (2022 to present), Lee is set to star in the upcoming sci-fi romantic drama Ask The Stars with South Korean actress Gong Hyo-jin. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
