Lee Min Ho has been a top star since 2009, when he garnered popularity through "Boys Over Flowers" as a Goo Joon Pyo character at the age of 23. His secret for the success, he says, is the strength he developed through the curvature of his deep trodden life. In an interview, Lee Min Ho shared his life graph in which he drew his life from birth to present in one graph.
He picked the car accident in 2006 as the worst point of his life.
"It was the accident of the life. There was nothing I could do but lie in bed."
As shown in his lift graph, Lee Min Ho after the accident continued to film at least one drama per year, slowly but steadily growing. Lee Min Ho, now that he is 27, says there are more things that he needs to be responsible now, but he realizes the power of his profession when he hears that somebody received the courage to live the life again after watching his drama.
"When I realized this profession is a profession that can give hope and courage to others more than I had imagined, I felt the responsibility. Especially when the popularity increases and the number of fans increase, that means there are more people whom I can give the hopes and courage to. It makes me do my best to meet their expectations."
