Lee Min Ho aims to show off his swimming skills for ‘City Hunter’






Actor Lee Min Ho is presently training his body and mind with swimming lessons.

As SBS’s ‘City Hunter’ prepares to go into filming, Lee Min Ho has been taking swimming lessons every day since the end of last year at a hotel swimming pool in Kangnam. He’s shown a sophisticated and sensual side through his previous works, KBS’ ‘Boys over Flowers’ and MBC’s ‘Personal Preference’, but for his new drama, Lee Min Ho will strive to exhibit more of his masculine side through the character, ‘Lee Yoon Sung’ – a previous MIT professor and current Cheongwadae national communications agent.

An association of Lee Min Ho passed on, “While tackling brilliant action scenes that emphasize his long limbs, Lee Min Ho will also be showing off his swimming skills. He’s exercising regularly every day so that he could show a more natural appearance, rather than professional techniques.”

Because his breakthrough role in ‘Boys over Flowers’ was with a character who couldn’t swim, Lee Min Ho is determined to show off his swimming skills through this opportunity.

An associate of the drama raised anticipation by hinting, “We’re also planning a shot of Lee Min Ho’s muscular body in the swimming scenes as well.”

“City Hunter” will air its first episode on May 25th.

Lee Min-ho special swim training for "City Hunter"
Actor Lee Min-ho is training his mind and body with special swim training.

With the official shooting for the SBS drama "City Hunter" close to date, Lee Min-ho has been getting swimming lessons everyday starting from the end of last year in a hotel in Gangnam. If he was sophisticated sensitive in KBS2 "Boys over Flowers" and "Personal Taste", this time he is Lee Yoon-seong in the Blue House National Communications Team with a PhD, manly and full of strong charisma.

A spokesperson for Lee Min-ho conveyed, "He will show fancy action with his long limbs and also his swimming skills. To be more natural and not professional he is training everyday regularly".

Lee Min-ho had drowned in water a couple times in the drama "Boys over Flowers" that put him in stardom, but this time he has firmly decided he will show his true swimming skills. A spokesperson for the drama put out high expectations by saying, "We will expose a little bit of his firm body in a swimming pool scene".

Meanwhile, producer Jin Hyeok from the drama "Shining Inheritance", is also in charge of "City Hunter" and has finished casting Park Min-yeong as Lee Min-ho's counterpart.
