Lee Jung Jae Shares Cute Pics Hanging Out with Hoobae Cutie Lee Min Ho

The post-Squid Game craze in the US around movie actor Lee Jung Jae has finally died down after the holidays and I’m glad because it was so weird to see US reporters hyping him when he’s been a TOP STAR in Korea for two decades. I’m glad he got the chance at Western audience popularity and it’ll be interesting to see if Lee Min Ho can do the same/similar after his Apple TV prestige show Pachinko airs this March. Lee Jung Jae shared pictures this weekend of him dining with dongsaeng Lee Min Ho and I expect the entirety of the conversation to be Min Ho-ssshi getting mentoring advice and pointers for planning his own global conquest one day lol. All teasing aside, luck does play a HUGE part in that, landing the right role in the right show and airing it at the right time when audiences have the perfect appetite for it.

    • They weren't friends. The chaebol only reached out to him after his squid game fame to leech some of it for his dwindling popularity.

      Now here come his delulus in 3...2...1...GO! ?

      • so true!. he was all up in lee jung jae's insta comments when squid game ended even though he never was before it. and his stans said their man doesn't care about popularity, even calling other celebs who show off their connections as attention-seekers riding off others' fame. LOL well..

      • Oh shut up ? don’t you remember Lee jung Jae sending him coffee truck during the film if the king?
        Also they met during Gangnam Blues

      • They've known each other since 2015. They also have sent coffee trucks to each other. And does lmh really need to leech off of someone else's popularity when he's, in fact, the most popular south korean actor?

  • Can someone tell me what the hype is all about Lee Min-Ho? I watched his series and movies but to me, he is not much of a great actor. Maybe someone can tell me why he seems so popular in some countries?

    • he is a hallyu star/celebrity. not a good actor imo. his dramas (bof and heirs) by playing as rich boys hit big. time will tell if he can prove his acting in pachinko

      • IMO he’s average to good. Didn’t like the heir nor boys over the flower but many people did. And as u said the dramas were big hit. So surely some people liked his acting and others don’t. I don’t like to discredit others so good for him?
        If u asked me his best performance was probably gangam blue.

        Agree with ur last sentence. Let’s see if he can prove it in panchicko.

        Lastly agree with your last sentence. Let’s see if he can prove he is really good in panchicko

      • Have always felt LMH got lucky, VERY LUCKY. He entered the entertainment industry at an opportune time. Got casted in a popular drama that was loved by k viewers and international viewers that have just been introduced to the world of K-entertainment. There are so many k-actors more talented and better looking than LMH, yet he still has a bigger fan base than most. LMH must have done something good in his previous life. Haha

    • You must have missed what I saw. Sorry for that. Both r talented handsome actors that I greatly admire. Hope ur future viewing is more enjoyable.

    • So anyone who don't think he's a good actor or whatever will be considered as her fans by his crazy fangirls?

  • The dude is not the great actor, passable more ofthen but he was never really bad aside from BOF and he is one actor who doesn't really make a buzz aside when he has drama project. You don't really hear about his private life and such so I just don't have much to say about him.

    Regarding Squid Game popularity, let's see for the long run since I felt that even game of thrones and stranger things is nowhere mentioned nowadays, we don't know what the next phase of drama have in the future.

      • hahaha I so agree with that GOT comment.Want to forget that I spent 8 years of my life to come in that last season.
        As of LMH the guy made me a Kdrama fan.Acting aside he is a decent person and I find his acting as good as the majority of many other recognizable K actors.He always will be a true Hallyu King because like me many through him get introduced to K dramas.

    • So true, @Kayla, there is always a new drama to stole the spot ! I must say that even i didn't watch Squid Game yet and Game of Thrones wasn't my cup of tea . Currently binge watching "Endeavour " Itv's drama with Shaun Evans . I just love it . For the ones who like good polar/ suspens dramas , i highly recommend it , and Oxford city is so beautiful . British actors are really good too .

  • Wow so many jealous stans of other Kdrama actors in comments ?. As if BOF would have been popular played by any other actor. Look at his costar who played the more sympathetic love interest, who was the bigger star at the time, but did he continue to gain fame? LMH has THAT star quality & talent that continues to attract new fans daily, like me and thousands others. Proven by his increasing IG follows and the SK govt Hallyu survey for past 4 years! Keep crying and just watch your oppas dramas.
