LeeMinHo will not play as lead of Playful Kiss

photocredit: as tagged

It Started With A Kiss (ISWAK), my most favorite taiwanese drama, is one of MBC's upcoming soaps to air in korea soon. their version is entitled Playful Kiss (the korean adaptation of the Japanese manga Itarazura Na Kiss). there has been several rumors saying that LeeMinHo would probably get the lead role, Naoki Irie (Jiang Zhi Shu in the taiwanese version, portrayed by Joe Cheng). now all those rumors have finally ended... i saw this news in my twitter account tweeted by ALLKPOP...


"Lee Minho’s reps has made it clear today that he will not be taking a role in an upcoming drama titled Playful Kiss. This drama made headlines just yesterday when it was revealed that Kim Hyun Joong might be in it.

Lee Minho’s company said on the 7th, “We don’t know anything about him getting cast in Playful Kiss. It’s true that we had communicated with Playful Kiss awhile ago. But that is all. He has no plans of being in it.”

Lee Minho said himself in a press conference awhile ago that he will not be appearing in the drama. I guess he has something else in mind.

We do wish that the producers, Group Eight can quickly settle on a cast because the rumors are all pretty unsettling and making fans anxious."

i have to admit that i was a little sad.. i was kind of hoping to see minho as naoki/zhishu because i'm so in love with the lead's character in this drama, coz he's just so perfect for the role.. super good looking with the super "angas" factor.. oh well.. i guess it's just not meant to be..

but kim hyun joong to play for the role, isn't a bad idea at all.. but i think they would still need to look for someone who looks more snobbish because that's how the lead should look like.. super snobbish campus heart throb and genius.. for me, hyun joong looks like a super nice guy who won't break a girl's heart.. i think.. i guess we'll have to wait and see how he acts the role if ever he gets it. =)

LMH "Hope you all may have great and warm Chuseok."

Posted on Newsen, Reporter Yun HyunJin, 2009-10-01
English translated by loveminho.com

Actor LMH greeted all of his fans for the Korea's biggest holiday festival " Chuseok', Korean Thanksgiving Day(Mid-Autumn Festival).

LMH, dressed up in pretty purple-color Korean traditional cloths, made a big smile that was different from 'BOF' Gu JunPyo's, and made a deep bow, saying "Hope you all may have great and warm Chuseok."

Asked about the Korean traditional cloths, he transferred his thought that "This is first time to wear Korean traditional cloths since I made greetings in last New Year holiday. The color, pattern and fabric are all too good and nice, so it makes my action and attitude more calm. In this holiday, I'd like to enjoy it with my family in these cloths."

Recently, LMH has emerged as an Asian star who published his single photo book 'Travel with MINHO' and is called as 'Sell-out man' or 'Sold-out man' after the ticket for his single event to be held in Japan was completely sold out. He talked about his recent activities that "Thank you very much for the concerns and supports. I am considering next works carefully now. It is not determined yet, but I would like to meet you in a good work as soon as possible. I am now concentrating on foreign language and acting that I think insufficient."

LMH and Sandara's Cass CF 100x Kiss

payout sucks!!! i know this sounds very bitter, but who wouldn't be if after working during christmas and new year's eve you would only earn a thousand higher than those who were on off and enjoyed the holiday season at home?!?!? and i wasn't even given a tax refund.. this budget-driven company really sucks!!! i really feel i should get outta here soon...

sigh...

since i'm in the bitterness mode... why not add more animosity.. haha

here's the very controversial 100-time filming of lee min ho and sandara's cass cf kissing scene.. yes, not once, not twice, not thrice, not even ten times but more than a hundred times!!! sounds intentional eh? i'm sure all minho fans are jealous.. or maybe not jealous but envious, that would be a more appropriate term.. and some bitter like me.. wehehehe ;D

LMH & Sandara "100 time kisses made the lips swollen"

'Kiss of Bad Love' between BOF LMH and 2NE1's Sandara Park becomes a hot topic.

In the new advertisement steal cut of Cass beer released on the 6th, LMH and Sandara Park performed a fascinating kiss scene that they approached each other and kissed. The sparking love of youngsters who refuse to be same as others was sensuously filmed and two leading characters radiate their fatal charms of 'bad guy' & 'bad girl'

In the CF, breaking the conventional image of pure and beautiful girl, Sandra Park transformed herself into a stylish and edge bartender matched with sexy smoky eyes, highly tied-up hair and bold and vivid colors.

...

Sandara Park who kisses to LMH with mysterious expression, shows her extraordinary charms as giving out atmosphere of 'femme fatale'. Especially in the last Cass 2X CF, LMH exceptionally transformed himself with sexy smoky eyes & drumstick shaped hair style and charismatically acted the role of a bad guy who resolutely left the model 'Jesica Gomez', but this time he acts a charming guy who owns everything and dashes confidently to Sandara Park by a kiss and reveals his new self of 'homme fatal'.

According to the statement from an official person of Cass beer commercial, they had to film the kiss scene more than 100 times, as two kiss scenes were to appear in the new CF. There is a behind story that LMH and Sandara Park used to be exhausted with their swollen lips all through the filming due to the continued filming for the kiss scene.

http://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=200909061038331001

well.. i wouldn't mind having my lips all swollen if it's because of minho.. i would gladly exchange places with dara.. no buts, no ifs, anytime, anywhere, any day, everyday.. hihi ;)

i'm slowly making my way back to minho blogging..
and i like it.. :)

LMH's outlook on love..

tomorrow is new year's eve and i'll be in the office... yeah, i know it sucks to work during the holiday season most especially during new year's eve.. such as loser me.. i can bear the thought of not being at home during christmas but new year is really different.. but i guess that's life...

to divert my attention, i'll just think of a happy thought...

[light bulb moment!]

lee min ho.. haha ;) who else can put a smile on my face in an instant.. hihi after quite a long time, i was able to browse over loveminho's site again.. here's another repost from her site..

LMH's outlook on love? Friendship is ahead of love.

Posted on Asiaeconomy, Reporter Hwang Yong-hee, 2009-09-05
English translated by loveminho.com
photocredit: as labelled

'BOF' LMH unfolded his thoughts slightly about his 'outlook of love' and 'outlook of acting' in the Premier Event for BOF that was held at Yokohama National University Hall in the evening of September 5th.

In front of 4,000 Japanese fans that day, as a response to a question what would be the difference of the outlook of love between 'LMH himself' and 'BOF GJP', he said "While GJP's outlook of love is just very strong and aggressive regardless of the other party's feeling, real LMH approaches carefully at first when someone who I like appears, but becomes more aggressive when the other party shows good feeling to me and catches my sincerity. Therefore, I like the proverb most that 'Blessed are those who wait.' However, it is better to stay as a friend at first."

To the MC's question 'how you would act if you should love a girl that some other loves just like GJP and YJH', he answered "Even though it is my friend, it cannot be allowed if he breaks into our love as Jihoo did in the drama. However, I will not make such situation. I will tell my friend about this first and he might understand well enough". Also for the question 'Friendship first? or love first?" he answered "Friendship first, love after", which cause the audiences' applause.

LMH also mentioned about his outlook of acting that day. For the question 'what kind of cast you would want to take', he revealed his implicit desire to take various experiences by saying "I would like to make action performance as well as heart-breaking melodramatic performance. But it would be better if it fits into my age."

For the question 'whether you had any hard times', he confessed "I had almost given up acting when I was a nameless actor" and showed he has considerably optimistic character, saying "I was hospitalized for 6 months due to car accident and could not work more than a year. This period was very tough time for me. But such a hard time probably made today's LMH"

Lastly, for the question 'how you spend time after 'BOF'', LMH indicated he was contacting various works, saying "Recently, I took photos in London and Sydney for a photo book. I lived with pleasant and bright attitude and put all these into photos. I will be able to meet my fans again with a good work soon."

[Star shot] Have you seen make-not-up Gu Jun-pyo?

I've posted some photos taken by me after a long time. The hero of photos is LMH who has created 'Gu Junpyo Syndrome' through the drama 'BOF'. LMH has made a sensation as Gu Junpyo of BOF. He gained popularity with hair perm in the BOF. However, LMH's hair looked ordinary in today's photos. It looked as natural as if he just woke up and washed his hair. Maybe, it's hard for many of LMH fans to see his hair style like it.

His fashion also looked very comfortable. It looked like he went to a convenient shop to buy a snack. A white short T-shirt, black short pants and sneakers....LMH who shows off a superior stature showed up a model pose even though he wore a ordinary clothing.

Let's see LMH's photos with no painted face, though there are a few pieces.

An alley in NonHyun-dong (district). Suddenly one extraordinary imported car stopped on the street with an engine sound and LMH without make-up got out of the front seat in the car.

He closed the door but opened it again as if he seemed to lose something. I guess... it might be a mobile phone.

After that, he walked to somewhere. Fortunately there were no passers-by on the street, so the anxious situation such as recognizing him or screaming with joy didn't happen.

Even I'd like to get his autograph by myself, but there is more important thing than the signature to the photographer. It's just spot shots.

Since the distance was up close, I shot only a few photos. But it was a lucky day I shot MH's appearance who looked sleepy.

Now LMH is controlling himself on air except CFs and photoshoots. His opinion is to choose the next work more carefully. He said he would let fans see more prepared appearance with exercise and foreign language study during vacation. I hope to see him through TV sooner or later.

still gorgeous even without make up.. \(^^,)/

Sandara Park and Lee Min Ho's Cass Photoshoot Interview

i love this video a lot! i first saw this in youtube last saturday, 09/12/09, without any translations. i was so amazed when I heard Sandara utter tagalog words at 3:49 saying "kumusta kayong lahat, si Sandara to, ayan kasama ko si Junpyo, inggit kayo noh? beh!" and when she made Min Ho say "mahal ko kayo" at 4:25. super nakakakilig!!! hihihi

this made me so eager to know what the conversation was all about so i requested loveminho to translate the interview. luckily that same day, she did the translation. i was so happy!

here's the video, the translation is below. again, thanks to the uploader loveminhovn and to the translator loveminho.com. enjoy! :)





Reporter : The hottest stars of 2009, BOF LMH and 2NE1 Sandara Park enjoyed a cool date, and I am going to reveal that spot tight away.

A man who showed up lightening the dark location!!!
Suddenly people was getting busy to take photos, the hero is the very LMH!

LMH Hello(wink)

PD Didn't you miss MBC Section TV program?

LMH I missed it so much. Why do you come only now?

PD What are you filming for?

LMH I was taking the photo shoot for beer CF in paper media.

In the previous CF, it became a topic that LMH filmed a thrilling kiss-scene with Jesica Gomez.

PD Then this time, with whom will you act together?

This girl with hip fashion will be his partner, 2NE1 Sandara Park.

PD Wow, You are well-matched each other. What is your impression after completing the CF filming with LMH?

Sandara It was thrilling and nervous, but it was exciting.

Of course she should.. They made a kiss-scene from the first meeting.
They kissed as many as over 100 times for the CF

PD Recently, your funny(weird) photos became the talk on the internet

Sandara :Aha~ the photos taken by myself....
I really like taking self-shots. I tried to take photos with various funny looks.

PD Please show us your best funny look just one time.

(Sandara made a funny face)

PD She is so beautiful whatever she expresses.

At that time, a new member of 2NE1 showed up at the studio, it is Santina(It means cheap in Korean) Park of 2NE4^^.

Reporter The two hottest icons in recent entertainment are attended here. BOF LMH and 2NE1 Sandara Park!!!!! They can't take their eyes off my hair. Mine is exactly same as Sandara's, right?

LMH It seems yours is much thinner.

Reporter Yep, I actually have thin hair. You look more handsome after the period since I have ever seen you.

LMH (I was too much occupied) Now, I feel comfortable while recharged...At that time(in my previous interview), I was exhausted by tight schedules.

Q: What was the first impression each other?

Dara: He looked like a rich boy

LMH: You got wrong.

Q: LMH, what was your impression of Sandara ?

LMH I thought she would be active and cute, but she is rather calm.

Many audiences may be surprised, if they hear Sandara is the eldest among three of us.
Dara was born in 1984, I was born in 1986 and LMH was born in 1987.

Q: Did you know that she is elder than you?

LMH Yes, I did

Q: It seems strange that you call her as elder sister (Nuna)?

LMH So I didn't call her as elder sister, but just Miss Sandara

Q: Which group do you like most among girl groups?

LMH 2NE1

He answered as soon as finishing the question.

Q: Do you know any song of 2NE1?

LMH I don't care

Q : Please sing a few bars.

LMH I don't care

Q: He really sang only one bar of the song, "I don't care" ^^
Many people made parodies of 2NE1, have you ever seen that?

Sandara Yes, I have.

Q: Which parody are you satisfied with the most?

Sandara The parody done by KyungRim unni seemed the best since it's first one so we watched it with curiosity.

Q: I heard you visited the Philippines as a short vacation.

Sandara I visited for 2 nights and 3 days

Sandara already gained a big popularity in the Philippines before her debut in Korea.
Now she is getting more popular.

Q: This program "Section TV" is aired all around world.
Please give greetings to the fans in the Philippines

(Sandara greeted in Tagalog) "kumusta kayong lahat, si Sandara to, ayan kasama ko i Jun Pyo, inggit kayo no? beh!"
("Hello everyone, this is Sandara, I bet you're all envious because I'm with Jun Pyo. aren't you? beh!")

Q: (Though we don't understand what she said) It's exciting

Sandara When I went to the Philippines, people asked me "Have you seen GuJunPyo?"

Q: Really~ I've also heard BOF had made a big hit there.
So don't you feel the need of learning Philippine language?

LMH It seems hard to learn it in a short period of time

Sandara I am telling you a word in Tagalog. "mahal ko kayo"
It means I love you all. The Philippine fans might like it very much

LMH: "Hello Philippine fans, mahal ko kayo"

Sandara It's my first time to greet to the audiences through this program, and I am very glad to meet you. Please give your great love to me and also to 2NE1.

LMH I was very happy to see you after a long time, give your big love to the reporter and me.


hearing him say "mahal ko kayo" is really so kawaii! super nakakakilig!!! :)
i know words are not enough to thank you loveminho.
thank you sooooo much!!! you're really the best!
kamsahamnida! aja! ^^,

Romance Hero -- Lee Min Ho

just anoter article i found in loveminho.com. well actually, most of the articles i post here are from her website. good thing i found her site coz she always translates articles into english so fans overseas would understand, like me. kamsahamnida! :)

this article was posted in SINGLES (june), written by Yeo Ha Yeon, english translated by loveminho.

Romance Hero -- LEE MIN HO

He had mysterious maternity with innocence of 23-year-old-youth. Come to think of it, Gu Jun-pyo in 'Boys Over Flowers' also had exuberant maternity that makes the fact he is a high-school student unbelievable. After his first shooting in Sydney, we had him in his hotel room tied his hair-up and packed on his face. The very first talk with real Lee Min-ho, not Gu Jun-pyo.

Q Do you realize your popularity?
LMH It was after chapter seven or eight I first realized popularity of 'Boys Over Flowers'. I couldn’t feel it because we aired those chapters we filmed in advance and also I was so busy and preoccupied. However, when I was in Daegu after an outdoor shooting, I, for the first time, realized that ‘wow, this is not a picnic!'

Q What are the resemble points of Gu Jun-pyo and Lee Min-ho?
LMH The only one point is that we quarrel when we were in love. At first I thought that I could not make it, even during the words practicing I thought it wasn’t good enough. Especially in earlier part which I played impolite role, it was not good and even the director told me I played too kindly again and again. If I have to say one more, I’ll say putting everything of myself in something when I totally soaked.

Q What is the best advantage of Lee Min-ho’s characteristic?
LMH Forgetfulness? I’m optimistic so I try to think positively whatever the situation like.

Q What is your dream character as an actor?
LMH A multiple personality character by Edward Norton in [Primal Fear].

Q What do you want to do if you have one-week of free time?
LMH I even feel so happy shooting only in daytime like nowadays. If I have one-week break? I would like to visit Las Vegas.

Q Let’s talk about your love. When is your first? It is said that men hardly forget their first love, is it true?
LMH At 20? Everyone has a memory of first love. Whenever I meet someone I usually come to remember it.

Q Is there anything common among the girls you loved?
LMH Well, I like small and cute girls but I also think we only come to know a person after we meet her. After talking to her face to face I can find something special on her. It’s hard to say in words. When I find out something very attractive from her, I also feel good on her. I told you before that I like small and cute girls but actually, and maybe I can be fell in love with a tall girl.

Q What means a fan to Lee Min-ho?
LMH It’s a reason for Lee Min-ho as an actor.

Q What means 'Boys Over Flowers' to Lee Min-ho?
LMH The second life? A masterpiece that enabled me to live another life.

Q Do you have any role-model as an actor?
LMH Mr. Seol Kyung-ku and Mr. Kim Myung-min. I want to be an actor who earns respect from his juniors in his 30s, who is respected for his earnestness as a role-model, and who get recognition as an actor.


For the staff and Lee Min-ho who couldn’t’t sleep well a night because of a tight shooting schedule of a little more than 5 months, Sidney catalog tour is like a rest. Detailed stories about the catalog tour in Sydney and about the interview can be found in SINGLLES June.

more to come.. :)

Lee Min Ho's killer smile

Lee Min Ho's smile, for me, is definitely the most perfect example of a killer smile... coz everytime i see him smile with those dimples.. sigh.. i'm just so speechless. how could somebody have such a perfect smile?!

well i bet a lot of people agree with me. one proof is this article i found in loveminho.com (as always). the original article was posted on betanews on 08-11-2009 by reporter Lee Eunhak.

Lee Min Ho's charming point that make people fall for him

Recently on the net, 'Smile Guy,' a sweet nick name for 'Gu Jun-pyo,' LMH, who emerged as the most popular star of 2009, is spreading fast, making a hot issue. This nickname tells that he is a man with 'a million dollars worth smile' that makes people to fall for him.

Director Oh Gyeonga of PLOREN dental clinic says, "Even a professional like me can agree that he deserves the nickname, 'Smile Guy,' given by many fans."

She added, "LMH acted well as 'Gu Jyun-pyo,' the charismatic leader of F4, who dedicated all himself to his lover, Geum Jandi. His attraction is the very smile that makes people pleasant with his well-arranged white teeth line slightly seen between the lips. This makes people feel his confidence and reliability."

In reality, LMH's online fan cafes and communities show the following reactions: "When I see LMH's smile, I cannot think of anything else. His smile is of a national treasure class"; "LMH's attractions are his reliability that makes women lean on him, and the one million dollars worth smile that makes others comfortable."; "LMH's smile is special. It feels intellectual and soft at the same time."

yes, i definitely agree!!! :) who wouldn't fall for this smile? this is why i love looking at his pictures especially when i'm sad... coz no matter ow gloomy my day is, for some reason, when i see his smile, it suddenly becomes bright and sunny. i know i may sound exagerated but that is really his effect on me.. i think i may actually faint when i se him smiling at me in person.. (^^,)

Sandara Park and Min Ho in a CF

Posted on Startoday, Reporter Jang Juyoung, 2009-08-27
English translated by loveminho.com
korean article link, click HERE.

"BOF" LMH and 2NE1's Sandara Park filmed a new CF for OB Beer's Cass. Accordingly, public attention will be attracted by the competition against the Hite's CF where Big Bang is a model.

OB Beer said "In this CF, Sandra Park who was recognized as Philippine Boa before her debut shall transform herself into unique femme fatale image, breaking the conventional image of pure and beautiful girl with long hair." and stated "The most suitable image to the 'sharp' youth that Cass is orienting, will be shown by sexy smoky eyes, fountain hair that is tied high upward, torn and worn out skinny jean and matching bold and vivid colors."

LMH who received much of spot light by transforming himself into 'homme fatal' in the last CF of Cass 2X, also prepares another transformation to shake lady's mind. Especially, while the Cass BGM sung by LMH directly in the last 2X campaign received absolute support from the youth, it gets public attention because it is still in a vail who will sing and which song will be for the BGM of Cass CF this time.

OB Beer's Marketing Manager stated “We chose top stars LMH and Sandara Park as their trendy image matches perfectly with the image of our Cass beer. We're staying in touch with the younger generation and this CF will start a new trend."

waaaaaahhhh!
she's so damn lucky!!!

LMH of BOF attended 'Dunkin Barista Lecture with Customers' and graced the event with his presence.

In the 'Barista Open Lecture' held at the Dunkin' Donnuts store in Myungdong, Seoul on August 18th, LMH personally demonstrated how to make coffee talking cheerfully with the customers having been selected by the previous promotion. LMH seriously listened to the lecture of Professor Kim Young-sik of the Barista Department at BackSuk Culture College.


To the question "Do you like coffee?", LMH answered "I enjoy coffee sometimes when I don't want to sleep " and made the participants laugh by saying "As I'm too much immersed in the lecture, I look serious."

Besides, LMH gave the kind appearance to the participants who came to see him shaking coffees and giving them to the people in person.

And to the question of a participant, "What kind of coffee do you enjoy? LMH answered "I sometimes enjoy 'cafe mocha' and 'espresso' coffee. In fact, I am omnivorous", which made the participants burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, LMH's fan meeting was held for about one hour after the 'Barista Open Lecture'. At the fan meeting, LMH had an interview time with his fans (participants) and enjoyed playing various games and events with happier atmosphere than ever. Especially, in the quiz game providing a free hug with LMH or Dunkin espresso coffeemaker (the price of 600 thousand won) as a free gift, the competition among the participants reminding people of a TV quiz program was intense.

Meanwhile, since the press from abroad such as the Japanese as well as the domestic media visited the event, we felt a hot interest in the Korean wave star LMH.
