Lee Min Ho’s Asia Domination Continues with Re: Minho Fan Tour and New Mini-album Song For You

• He can sing????

• I would go if someone comped my ticket and paid me...hehehe. I appreciate his looks and his acting, as I loved him as Gu JunPyo in 'Boys Over Flowers' and in subsequent dramas like 'City Hunter.' However, I really hate it when they make actors sing and dance - maybe they want to - but really, it's not great and Lee Minho is no exception. I do think if the k-entertainment keeps it up in watering down quality (with interchanging actors with singers/dancers), the future will be pretty bleak.

  • By the way, how you know if someone can really sing if if you see their live at the fan meets.

  • I hate it too, especially since LMH once criticized idols for going into acting. I find it hypocritical. His fans say, "It's different because he's not trying to be an idol, he just wants to do this for his fans." Uh, is he singing for free? No, he's charging people hundreds of dollars to go see him sing and dance. That is no different than what an idol does. And I read that full videos of his fan meets were even taken off Youtube. So much for "doing it for his fans". Apparently he's only doing it for his fans that are rich enough to pay.

    • mte. i once voiced out the fact that i wished actors would stop singing and dancing so much. and then the reply i got was that "there's nothing else actors can do at a fanmeet. you can't expect them to stand there and act out a monologue" and i guess that makes sense too?

      i mean i heard they made woobin cook (?!!) at his fanmeet and i guess that doesn't make any more sense than making him sing.

      and LMH's fanmeet tickets are crazy expensive i definitely won't pay that amount of money to see him.

• As you know, I'm one of the rare one who actually love his Personal Taste, but honey, please just concentrate on one thing....* I know I will get slaughtered by his fangirls

  • He's been singing that one since the post BOF craze.
    I think all actors-who-just-had-a-hit are required to sing this on the TV.

    It's like that I Love You song THT does...very nicely, I might add.

• I like him better as an actor!

• LOL at grouse hunting!

  Nothing says undying breathless romantic love like dropping a brace of fowl at your woman's feet. Kinda like what cats do to please their people.

• Ockoala, I just loved you more. The Bey and Jay concert was Everything! Goodness.
  Lol,sorry for going off topic. LMH is so bland to me that I can't imagine going to this. Especially since the songs are also unmemorable.
  I hope I like his acting in his new movie. I desperately need him to switch things up.and try new things

• LMH is taking advantage of all the monetary opportunities that come his way. Don't blame him since there are deep pockets in China. I wonder what his net worth is....

• Lol koala, why so pressed?

  • And for someone who is so vanilla to you, you sure post about his activities a lot ;)

    • This vanilla boy gives her site hits. She could skip over his posts and concentrate on things she actually likes. But LMH means hits to her site, and I guess, like she says LMH is trying to get our money, it sure seems like she is too, with her vanilla posts. Hehe

  • It's disappointing LMH fans can't decipher nuance in how I write about him. I've always liked LMH, I don't love him anymore but I still like him. I wouldn't write about him if I didn't like him, but liking him doesn't require that I fawn over everything he does and give him a thumbs up unconditionally without critical analysis. I've probably liked him way earlier than most of his fans. I've liked him since Mackarel Run in 2007 so that's 7 going on 8 years now that I've followed his career. If you guys all watched him in MR during 2007 when it aired and liked him back then then let's talk. I loved him to pieces in Boys Before Flowers.

    He was like a ridged potato chip back them, all grooves to catch the tasty dip and potential for so many uses and possibilities. Since then it's all gone flat for me. He went from being a dense Ruffles to a thin Lays. Sure I still like Lays, it's a potato chip at the end of the day, yes? But what happened to the grooves and the thick cut goodness? Why so thin and bland nowadays, Min Ho? That's the crux of my sadness when seeing him continually churn out safe vanilla products, roles, and projects one after another. It's inoffensive but I glimpsed greatness once in him that has either vanished or remain untapped, the potential for explosive charisma to mark him as a once-in-his-generational K-actor.

    • Lol. Sometimes the comments on this blog makes me think some all Kpop fans wandered across with their immature comments. Why would you care about hits for this article? Are you like a commercial site? No. It's a personal blog.

      Chips? Lee Min Ho used to be like a hot just baked potato. Oozing steam and just waiting for the dollop of sour cream to make it perfect. Now he's like the baked potato in a cafe.Left there for hours and slightly chewy. But still saleable.

      All I can say is - after all that's happened. Please don't get caught in a scandal.

    • You surely has high expectation at LMH. As a fellow fangirl I hope he will live up to your expectation. But, Nobody is perfect and in this crazy korean entertainment industry you need to do things out of your own will.

    • You just put all my feelings for LMH perfectly together..only difference is that I haven't been following him since his Mackerel Run only since BoF and I have watched everything he's done since then

    • I feel like you are saying he is too huge and popular now. Imagine the huge weight and stress he is taking to live up to his status. If you talk about money, then everything is involved with money. Even we are watching free k-dramas, there is still money issue.

    • LOL, I agree. There's no harm in being a fan and not a fangirl....there are those that are squealing over the fact that he breathes air.

      "Did you see him inhale, isn't he awesome?"

      "Don't we all breathe and stuff?"

      "You don't want him to do well or respect him"

      This is the kind of response I got from The Heirs forum at Soompi when I dared to critically comment on the series. I post got 20+replies about how much a hater I was and shouldn't watch blah, blahs.

      The dude is seriously in danger of being typecasted because he's getting to be very one note, solid but one note. See me yell, see me cry, see me, cry yell and now he's running. Perhaps he should've done something quirky like Iron Man or JGS's Pretty Man (that would've been interesting, not hating on JGS)

      Hopefully GB wil be a step away from the usual LMH characters we've seen already. But, from the stills I think not.

    • Ok, I don't detect any nuance in your post with all the bey and jay comparison along with ruffles and thin lays. That's nuance? I see. You can be disappointed in me (or is this a projection on the entire fandom?), in the same way I am disappointed in your post. It goes both ways. I'm just pointing out the obvious that you sure have been posting about him a lot for someone who strikes you as vanilla.

      And yes, I've been watching him since Mackarel as well. He has his ups and downs.

    • @SH

      But your entire assumption is flawed in that you assume there is an hypocrisy in posting about LMH when I think his latest works and persona have all been vanilla. What's wrong with writing about him because I still like him but find him underwhelming lately? That's not contradictory to lead you to feign confusion as to why I write about him a lot. I write about LMH because I still like him, vanilla and all, how hard is that to understand?

    • @ockoala, but I haven't assumed anything. I made an observation, and you made an assumption based off it. I've just noticed that you have posted about him often recently, especially for someone whom you find vanilla. And it's a curious thing for me. Whether you like him or not, that's your preference. But now I know since you've expressed your reason for posting about him. And that's that.

      I'm not asking you to fawn over him if you don't want to. But I'm disagreeing with the "tone" of your critical analysis. You can do critical analysis on someone's career without excessive metaphors.

  • I wonder if LMH's fans realise that whatever mean remarks they post attacking the blogger reflects badly on their bias? That people would dislike the actor/idol not because of the actor/idol himself but because of his fandom?
    Anyway, it's true that LMH's recent projects have not been terribly exciting. However, he looks awesome in his new movie, he reminds me of Won Bin. Hoping that this will be a breakthrough for him.

    • What mean remarks are you referring to? I can't disagree with the tone or posting behavior of the blogger. It's not about me being a fan or not a fan. How about take it as a reader who finds her post, like this, one excessive? It's not the first time posters have complained about her writing, and there's obvious reason for that, Koala just divides opinions.

    • I wasn't referring to you as your remarks are cleverly innocuous, but to the post after yours. Don't be so sensitive. I do find that LMH's recent projects after CH have not been as good as I hoped, but GB is looking good.

• didn't Jung Kyuong Ho do the same pose in the floppy hat and pervert coat last year?.....is this the same stylist?

• LOL @ the video~ what odd transitions (e.g. holding a shotgun, then a few seconds later, a bouquet of Baby's Breath).

  My love for him is a lot less ardent than it used to be (I agree with the Ruffles→Lays potato chip analogy). However I still love to look at him (my inner teen likes the shot of him on the white steed), and I have this residual fondness for him. I hope that Gangnam Blues has helped him to up his game, and that doing his military service will further help him grow as an actor. I want him to blow me away again like he did in BOF.

  • I want my ardent love to come back. My drama friends and I used to have a couple of nicknames for him in the post BoF and pre PT days. He was either LMHMG - Lee Min Ho My God! or Lee Min HoT. The same disappointment that dogs me around Lee Min Ho is the exact same feeling when I see overhyped Kim Soo Hyun these days. He was soooooo groundbreaking as the young Go Soo in Will it Snow for Christmas and then Dream High, followed by a balloon deflating in charisma and acting potential not fulfilled.

    • I guess they both bought into their own hype? At least I feel Kim Soo-hyun has.

    • they're so successful and wealthy, maybe they're getting complacent and they're not as 'hungry' as they were before the hype - i really get what you're saying...
