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.
