Lee Min Ho Gains Popularity in Japan, Requests for Interviews are Endless   
   

Japan is heating up their interest towards the actor Lee Min Ho.   
   
Lee Min Ho’s recent drama “Personal Taste” was aired in Japan which sparked the interest.   
   
On January 22nd, the broadcast of Min Ho attending the charity event in Japan captured many hearts of the Japanese fans.   
   
Last November, the International Peace Organization of the UN was held in Tokyo, Japan, and Lee Min Ho attended the “Love & Peace” charity event which was held for the victims affected by the Haitian and Chile earthquakes. The theme of the event was “friendship.”   
   
Lee Min Ho was the only Korean actor who was invited to attend the “Love & Peace” event as a representative of Korea, and a crowd of 3,000 people gathered to see him receive his certificate of appreciation given by the UN.   
   
A representative of Lee Min Ho’s agency stated, “The recent drama “Personal Taste” which Lee Min Ho starred in has gained popularity in Japan, and the requests for interviews have been endless,” and, “Not only Japan, but countries such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and many others are also broadcasting the drama, and there are even reruns going on as well.”   
   
On the other hand, Lee Min Ho is preparing for his upcoming SBS Drama “City Hunter” which will air in May.

Movie Director Kang Woo Suk said that he encountered many potential actors.   
   

On last week’s episode of MBC “7 Days of Miracle,” Director Kang Woo Suk made an appearance on the show to barter his precious items with Jo Soomi. While he was talking about the films that he directed, he also mentioned three actors he believed to have a lot of potential.   
   
On the day of the broadcast, Director Kang Woo Suk said to MC Kim Jae Dong, “The best thing about filming a movie is when you discover the actor’s potential,” and began to talk about his encounter with amateurs growing into stars.   
   
The first actor was Jung Jae Young. Jung Jae Young worked with Director Kang Woo Suk in the movie “Silmido” as a supporting actor. The director pulled the actor aside to tell him, “I believe that you will become great star. I know you will.”   
   
The second actor is Lee Min Ho. When the director first saw Lee Min Ho, he was impressed by his height and deep eyes for such a young actor. When Lee Min Ho was only a newcomer, the director said to him, “Because of your amazing eyes, you will become a great actor.”   
   
The third actor is “Bad Guy” Kim Nam Gil. Director Kang Woo Suk believed that if Kim Nam Gil portrayed a mix of evil and mellow character, he will become a great actor.   
   
On the other hand, Director Kang Woo Sung jokingly stated how it was difficult for him to contact these actors who are now famous but were unknown back then.
