LEE MIN HO's Growth Story
What were the childhood years of Lee Min-ho from “Boys Over Flowers” like? All eyes are on his past, who is enjoying the greatest popularity as Gu Jun-pyo in “Boys Over Flowers”.
Recently, what he was like in the past, from the time he attended high school to an affectionate picture taken with his girlfriend, has become the first priority concern of the “Netizen investigation group.” IS daily has exclusive pictures of Lee Min-ho’s childhood years.
From the first birthday banquet to kindergarten party to family vacations in elementary school years, his entire childhood years were reconstructed through pictures. Introduction of “Pleasant and happy days raising Lee Min-ho”, which Lee Min-ho’s mother tells her story through Star House Entertainment, the entertainment company he is affiliated with, as well as episodes, were added.
Lee Min-ho, who had big eyes and well-balanced features, was no doubt a newborn that stood apart from the others. The weight at his birth was 3.2kg. (picture caption: first birthday banquet)
Though he was not that tall when he was young, being a little taller than the average, as he grew he got taller and his physique became better as well. In the first birthday banquet which was held in a rented banquet hall in Seoul, Min-ho picked up the pencil. The father of Min-ho was overjoyed, expecting him to grow up to be an honor student. Later on, after he had been brought up, his talents were found to be not in academics but in acting.
A decent amount of congratulatory money came in, as well as first birthday rings, maybe because he was the first born son. Min-ho had no interest in the foods on the table such as seaweed soup, various kinds of rice cakes, or fried dishes prepared wholeheartedly at home. He fretted saying he wanted the Coke-flavored ice cream bar that his sister sitting beside him was having. After it was given to him, he smiled brightly.
Min-ho’s childhood nickname that his family used to call him by was “dark-skinned boy.” It was a nickname given to him because he had such big eyes and was more dark-skinned and cuter than the other boys. The expression of “baby Min-ho”, posing on the bed wearing cute clothing with Christmas just ahead, is adorable. (photo caption: 2 years old, on the bed at home)
He had amicable relationship with his sister Yun-jung. He rarely fought with his sister during childhood. On the day that their father bought the cake, the two of them sits side-by-side and poses on top of a table in the living room.

Like Jun-pyo in “Boys Over Flowers”, Min-ho couldn’t swim at all. He was a timid child, and to get him near the water, such as getting him on to a banana boat, the entire family had to calm him down and encourage him. After his mother and sister convinced him that going into water is not something to be afraid of, he reluctantly wore sunglasses and a life jacket, but he is looking sulky.

Min-ho was shy and timid child, so nobody expected him to be an entertainer in their wildest dreams. Even singing a single song took him many practice sessions at home with his mother in advance.

Watching Min-ho from afar, singing the practiced song wearing traditional Korean clothes, I was proud, but at the same time I was nervous that he might not finish singing the song. Though Min-ho was a very timid child, going onto junior high, he met a lot of friends, and he became active and outgoing.
Since going onto elementary school, he liked to go to the mountains and to the plains as he learned how to play soccer. His mother often used to go hiking with him, to make him have an active personality. He liked to eat meat, and when beef or boned rib was roasted for him, he would eat 2 to 3 servings in one sitting in no time.

In the summer, he liked to go hunting for insects. Reddish-brown-colored skin, as if sun tanned, coupled with the “V” pose that he does every time he feels embarrassed, are fun. Straight hair, which is completely different from the curly hair in “Boys Over Flowers”, catches the eye.
Since junior high, Min-ho was quite popular among his peers, thanks to his good looks. Even among friends of his sister Yun-jung, he was known as “handsome little brother of Yun-jung,” and was very popular.

Min-ho, who made his acting debut in the second year of high school as a trainee, was quite devoted to school life as well. He got along with his classmates like an ordinary student. Although his features are the same as before, his face with pimples that look colorful is fun.
hmmm... i actually didn't notice the pimples in his last picture... i really can't see any... am i blinded??? hehe i think he looks astonishing and gorgeous as always... hihi :D
