In the movie "Gangnam Blues," production members failed to make this K-heartthrob look like a nasty beggar due to his visuals.
Can you guess who this actor is?
Lee Min Ho Ends Up Getting Spotlight Despite His Beggar Role
Though it has been eight years since the movie "Gangnam Blues" was released, it is only this year that one of its behind-the-scenes stories was revealed.
"Gangnam Blues" is a 2015 film set in the 1970s. It depicts the story of two childhood friends, whose friendship is tested as they get involved in the battles between political powers and criminal organizations.
The movie was headlined by Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae Won. They played the roles of Kim Jong Dae and Baek Yong Ki, respectively.
According to Daum, on April 5, at the time the movie was being filmed, the viewers were still astonished by the good-looking and flashy image of Lee Min Ho. Since he played Kim Tan in the K-drama "The Heirs," which was released before "Gangnam Blues," the production tried to change Lee Min Ho's image for his new role.
Therefore, the production members decided to change Lee Min Ho's image and make him look like a dirty and ugly beggar.
In particular, they asked the "Boys Over Flowers" star to wear a thick and long wig to cover his stunning face.

However, no matter what kind of makeup or costume Lee Min Ho wore at that time for his character, viewers were still mesmerized by the actor's beauty. Others even called Lee Min Ho's character a "handsome beggar."

This 2023, the 35-year-old actor is headlining two series. He is about to return to the small screen with Gong Hyo Jin in the sci-fi romance drama "Ask the Stars" also known as "When the Stars Gossip."
