Icon of person Lee Min-ho

His biography is available in 76 different languages on Wikipedia (up from 74 in 2024). Lee Min-ho is the 962nd most popular actor (up from 1,464th in 2024), the 85th most popular biography from South Korea (up from 101st in 2019) and the 4th most popular South Korean Actor.

Actor Lee Min-ho is most famous for his breakout and iconic role as the arrogant yet charismatic chaebol heir Gu Jun-pyo in the massively popular K-drama Boys Over Flowers (2009), which launched the second wave of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) globally and earned him the Baeksang Arts Award for Best New Actor, followed by leading roles in hit series like City Hunter (2011), The Heirs (2013), The Legend of the Blue Sea (2016), The King: Eternal Monarch (2020), and his critically acclaimed performance in the Apple TV+ multilingual series Pachinko (2022–present), cementing his status as one of the world's most beloved and consistently top-ranked Korean actors. He has also starred in films such as the action thriller Gangnam Blues (2015) and is set for upcoming projects including the thriller film Assassins and potential dramas like Scent of the Night. Something surprising about him is that he survived not one but two serious car accidents—first in 2006, which left him in a coma for a month and required a year of hospitalization with a metal plate in his thigh, and another in 2011 on the set of City Hunter—yet he persevered to become a global superstar.
