“City Hunter” Teases With Lee Min Ho’s Steamy Shower Scene





What Korean drama is complete without its creepy but sexy shower scenes of its male leads? With the first episode airing tonight, May 25th, SSD released teaser photos of Lee Min Ho’s shower scene. In “City Hunter,” Lee Min Ho plays Lee Yoon Sung, a MIT graduate who works in the Blue House National Communications Team as a top government agent.

In order to express his multi-talented character as well as possible, Lee Min Ho has been mastering various fields like the martial arts, gunnery, and judo over the past several months. On May 15th, he exposed his toned body to shoot the shower scene.

In the scene, Lee Yoon Sung had just completed his judo training with fellow agents of the National Blue Team before showering. While he is skilled in various areas, including the martial arts, he hides his abilities and pretends to be nonathletic. As a result, he showers alone to hide the scars, from all the fighting and training, on his back from his coworkers. .

Representatives of SSD stated, “The public will finally be able to see all the hard work Lee Min Ho, Park Min Young, Lee Joon Hyuk, Goo Hara, and Hwang Sun Hee along with director Jin Hyuk put into ‘City Hunter.’”

“City Hunter's” original soundtrack (OST) has also made headlines befor ethe drama's premiere. Legendary rock singer Lim Jae Bum sang the theme song “Love,” and as soon as it's release, it topped five music charts: Mnet, Bugs Music, Melon, Soribada, and Dosirak. It’s extremely rare for an OST to take the No. 1 spot in all five charts, but it’s one measure of all the hype and expectations set for the drama.

“City Hunter” is based on the best-selling Japanese manga by Hojo Tsukasa, which sold over a million copies just in Korea. The original manga by Tsukasa is set in Tokyo during the 1980s, but the drama adaptation will take place in modern day Seoul. “City Hunter” premieres tonight, May 25th, at 9:55PM on SBS.

City Hunter’s Lee Min Ho wins high praise for his spectacular action scenes and absorbing acting skill





Kim Sang Jung, a senior Korean actor, highly praised Lee Min Ho.

On the May 25 episode of SBS’s Wednesday and Thursday drama series City Hunter, Kim Sang Jung, or Jin-Pyo in the drama, a bodyguard of the President, is responsible for cultivating and training anti-North spies, involved in every event related to North Korea along with Park Sang Min, or Mu-ryeol in City Hunter. Lee Min Ho is one of the spies Kim has cultivated.

Kim has spent much time of the shooting with Lee from the earlier scenes taken in Thailand up to now. In an interview, Kim said, “In City Hunter, I am a step father of Lee, who is doomed to cultivate his son as an anti-North spy. It’s the first chance to play with Lee Min Ho. I was very impressed by his great deal of enthusiasm for acting, so I’m confident to say that you can see him perfectly transforming himself into the new character.”

He also added, “He’s doing great in every kind of scenes such as shooting a gun, running, and expressing depth emotions.”

Kim Sang Jung is an experienced actor and ended in success his most recent drama Beautiful Life, playing a cool-headed, but romantic middle-aged guy. He said, “Unlike the prior character, I’ll show you a tough guy in City Hunter. It’s been the first time to play such a rough guy running with a gun with hard eyes since I appeared in Swat Police (a Korean drama, 2000). It’s very interesting to me. And I think I’m very luck to have this great chance to transform myself into a totally new character.”

City Hunter : Lee Min Ho hunts The Gang of 5





The long awaited drama finally arrived, the first 2 episodes of City Hunter were aired and guess what ? We liked it !

Derailed from early promise – Lee Min Ho be a flamboyant playboy detective who hunts city criminal , just as the original famous manga- we , instead , got Lee Min Ho , a tend to be a cold man, with heavy past story -which likely only happens in movie or drama- who works undercover in the hunt of The Gang of 5.
It’s a super tough hunt job because The Gang of 5 are not nobody, they are powerful people : the South Korea’s super elite political and military officer. Duh !
But the hunt must be done for the sake of his never seen father. What an early story !




Kudos to the writer,successfully wrapped Lee Min Ho’s background story smartly not draggy and efficiently in entire episode 1 -from Cambodia to North Korea until Golden Triangle in Thailand’s border- so steps over to episode 2 we encounter the basic storyline, the hunt and of course the love story.

Lee Min Ho is mighty fine in acting -wise , even it’s safe to say that he is the best alumni among the super handsome actors of Boys Before Flowers. Ha !
And hate her or love her, Park Min Young is




And we must mention this person before onward to episode 3, Lee Min Ho’s adopted father, 56-year-old actor Kim Sang Joong is absolutely gorgeous , body-wise and acting-wise.
Beside Lee Min Ho, he’s the heart of episode 1 and he doesn’t fail a bit ! Daebak !

Okay, enough for now, hurry come episode 3, can’t wait !

City Hunter’ Lee Min Ho, teased Park Min Young’s first kiss, “Tell me the truth.”





Seoul, Korea – ‘City Hunter’ Lee Min Ho, teased Park Min Young’s first kiss, “Tell me the truth.”

Yun Sung was surprised by the fact that Nana never had kissed before.

On SBS soap opera ‘City Hunter’ aired on May 26th depicted a scene where Yun Sung (Lee Min Ho) surprise kissed Nana (Park Min Young).

Nana was shocked and speechless for a while, before she threw him to the ground and left. On the following day, he scolded Yun Sung “Don’t you owe me an apology for the kiss?”

Yun Sung answered, “that was just a greeting and nothing to apologize for.” Nana could not go on and was hesitant. Then Yun Sung doubtfully asked her, “Is it your first kiss by any chance?” Nana avoided answering the question, implying that it was her first kiss.

During the Judo training that followed, Yun Sung showed interest in her by picking at what she was saying and quietly staring at her like a young boy teasing a young girl. Then Nana shouted, “Where are you looking at during the training? It’s so grotesque!”

“You should feel flattered by my attention,” Yun Sung continued to tease her and made the audience laugh, “it was your first time, right? Be honest.”

On the other hand, Yun Sung, upon injuring Nana during the training, took her to the hospital, walked her home and even ate ramen together, which hinted a possible love story between them.

이민호 옷값만 5000만원!
50 million won is spent just on Lee Min Ho's clothes!

동아일보 원문 기사전송 2011-05-28 08:24
DongA.com




[스포츠동아]
[sports donga]
‘시티헌터’룩 50여벌 넘게 준비
More than 50 sets of clothes were prepared for the 'City Hunter' look

‘무려 5000만원!’
'As much as 50 million won!'

1 년여 만에 안방극장을 찾은 ‘꽃남’ 이민호. 25일 시작한 SBS 수목드라마 ‘시티헌터’(극본 황은경·연출 진혁)의 주인공 이민호가 방송 전 가장 신경을 쓴 부분은 바로 의상이다. 그가 맡은 역은 MIT 박사 출신 청와대 국가지도통신망팀장이다. 댄디하면서 야성적인 매력이 특징이다. 이를 위해 의상 콘셉트를 ‘헌터룩’으로 정하고 다양한 패션을 준비했다.
'Flower boy' Lee Min Ho has returned to the small screen after more than a year. The thing that most demanded his attention before the broadcast of SBS drama City Hunter which started airing on the 25th are his clothes. The role he played in the drama is a PhD from MIT who joined the Blue House as the leader of the National Communications Network Team. His trademark style sports a dandy+wild charm. Various types of fashion were prepared to build up the concept of the 'hunter look'.

드라마 초반에 일단 ‘헌터룩 8종 세트’로 시청자들의 시선을 사로잡고, 이후 드라마가 끝날 때까지 50여벌이 넘는 옷을 입고 나올 예정이다.
During the early part of the drama, a 8 set hunter look was released and grabbed the attention of viewers. Following this right til the end of the drama, he is projected to appear in more than 50 sets of clothings.

의상의 종류가 많다보니 제작비도 만만치 않다. 이민호의 ‘헌터룩’을 다양하게 표현하기 위해 5000만 원이 넘는 비용을 의상 제작비에다 쏟아 부었다. 스타일리스트와 그가 모델로 나서고 있는 한 패션업체와 손잡고 ‘사냥꾼’ 이민호를 꾸민다.
Due to the large variety of apparel, the production cost is no small sum. More than 50 million won has been set aside to show various facets of Lee Min Ho's 'hunter look'. The stylist will be working with the fashion enterprise that LMH's modeling for to dress Lee Min Ho up into a hunter.

이민호의 스타일리스트 정혜진 실장은 “단순히 유행을 앞서가는 패션보다는 캐릭터와 맞아떨어지는 의상을 콘셉트로 잡았다”며 “기존 옷으로는 표현하는데 한계가 있어서 100% 자체 제작했다”고 전했다.
Lee Min Ho's stylist Jeong Hye Jin remarked "Instead of popular high fashion, we decided to choose a concept that matches with his character(referring to lee yoon sung). There's a limit on the clothes currently available, so 100% will be self produced."
