If you are a Minoz, you have plenty of company, especially in China. The number of people following Lee Min Ho on Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, has doubled in the last four months.

The actor now has 20 million followers. That makes him the first Korean actor to reach this big of a Weibo following.

According to his agency, Starhaus Entertainment, "On March 8, the number of people following Lee Min Ho on Weibo passed 20 million, making him the first Korean actor to reach this figure."

He reached 10 million on Nov. 24 last year and gained new followers at the rate of between 100,000 and 300,000 a day.

His appearance in "The Heirs" certainly helped boost his popularity there although he was already well known in China for his starring roles in "Boys Over Flowers," "City Hunter" and "Faith: The Great Doctor." On New Year's Day, he appeared on Chinese television on the New Year's Gala, attracting the best viewer ratings.

And while he is very popular in China, he's not doing badly in other parts of the world either. He has nearly 40 million followers on various SNS sites, making him the most followed actor in Korea. He also earned likes by 13 million people on Facebook.

According to his agency, his Weibo popularity has a lot to do with the way he relates to his fans.

"We believe it is the result of his sincere interaction with and the way he cares for his fans," said a Starhaus Entertainment representative.

He conscientiously updates his Webo account with selcas and updates on his life.

When the actor found out that he had 20 million Weibo followers, he was touched and felt the need to express his appreciation. In Korean and Chinese, he posted his thanks.

"I have over 20 million friends now. I will keep doing my best to repay the love that all of you have shown me"

Newspapers in China have described his popularity as a mysterious phenomenon because Chinese citizens have never been so enthusiastic about a foreign actor. But to those who followed Lee Min Ho's career, his popularity comes as no surprise. He's a hardworking actor who despite his busy schedule makes the time to stay in touch with his fans. He is also grateful for the love they showed him and will continue to work hard to meet their approval.

Lee Min Ho can next be seen in the film "Gangnam Blues."
