Lee Min Ho's life story: Rise to Fame

 Who doesn't know Lee Min Ho? No wonder he is now the latest brand endorser of SMDC. Let's have a story time about how Lee Min Ho started and became famous, how rich he is now, and what is the latest with him.



Lee Min Ho's first dream was to become a football player. He did not think he would become a K-drama actor, but he had an injury in fifth grade that prevented him from pursuing a professional sports career. In school, Lee Min Ho was a victim of bullying because he was very thin and had a natural tan skin color. However, when he reached high school, he suddenly changed and became tall and handsome, and this is when he became interested in acting and modeling. He eventually overcame his insecurities and was featured in several magazines.



He met the future president of Starhaus Entertainment, which convinced him to try and enter the industry and get signed by an agency in 2005. He enrolled in college and majored in Film Arts. At first, he only played small extra roles and had to audition frequently. It took several years before he finally had his big break in the role of Gu Jun Pyo in Boys over Flowers, which made him a Hallyu star.

Lee Min Ho became known for playing the role of a wealthy character, which suited him well. He became famous not only in Korea but also in Japan, France, China, and the Philippines. He has a massive fan base, and he can choose any kind of drama he wants. His net worth is currently $26 million, making him one of the highest-earning Korean celebrities of all time.

He is currently one of the endorsers of Fendi and is focusing on being a creative director and producer for the next level of his career. He is also the brand endorser of SMDC, one of the biggest companies in the Philippines. Many of his fans are hoping that he will visit the Philippines for a meet and greet.

Q&A : At what age did you first realize that you wanted to become an artist? I started to draw at the age of 7, as far as I remember.  I draw simple houses with my cousins. My mother was a disciplinarian before, and she provides used papers for me to draw/scribble instead of me going out and playing around. When my father came back in Philippines from working abroad, he brought set of encyclopedias for me to read.  It was then the first time that I read about paintings of the old masters (e.g. Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh and others) which gave me my

Origami Pilipinas: Changing the Country one paper fold at a time

MAY 22 TIU theater is an artist hub located in Makati, and I was given the chance to watch Bakata: The Battle of Street Poets, a play produced by  Toshihiko Uriu  -   The play was a huge success and is predicted to turn into a Philippine classic, but I am writing this article right now to highlight another story that occurred inside the TIU theater.  A collaboration piece that helped produce the effect of the wonder called Bakata. I noticed the glow of the lanterns and the paper cranes highlighted in the stage design, it had the flair and flamboyant but subtle effect that was needed in order to make the stage look just perfect for the story line.  Leo R Natividad is the President and Owner of Origami Pilipinas.  I was fortunate to meet members like  L.

Why you need to visit the Bamboo Intramuros

There are very few places in Metro Manila that would make you feel relaxed and one with nature . I was fortunate enough to meet one of the legendary owners of  Bamboo Grande franchise.  Honesto Deuda aka Ka-Oni  is well loved by friends, acquaintances and people who have met him from different walks of life.  He co-owns some of the best bar and restaurants in Metro Manila. Ka Oni is known for creating inspiring and bars that have soul, spunk and spirit.  He has been conceptualizing organic looking resto bars for more than 10 years now. Ka- Oni's creations are noticeable because the resto bars that he creates are made out of love for music and the arts. His process is different, Ka Oni  creates the vision for the restaurants but does not need to put them on paper, they are directly executed from his imagination to reality.   Ka Oni was already featured in Mabuhay International Magazine for the amazing work that he has done with his surrounding commun
