'General Choi Young' Lee Min Ho has soccer skills like a general!

In the London Olympics, South Korea made it to the semifinals and are to face Japan soon. In the midst of that, actor Lee Min Ho's video of his cool soccer skills was posted and gained attention.

Recently through official Facebook of Lee Min Ho's company, a video of Lee Min Ho playing soccer with his friends showed difficult techniques that are up to level with actual players. He showed flexible dribble, fancy skills, ball trapping and bold medium-range shoots. He was also able to do a nonstop volley kick that is difficult for amateurs to do. An agency official stated that he uses his tall height(187cm) as an advantage, to do a powerful headshot that the opposing team fears.

A viewer responded, "It's known that Lee Min Ho is skilled in playing soccer within the celebrities, but now that I see it, he is great."

He started playing soccer from a young age and was admitted into 'Cha Bum Kun Soccer School' that only soccer prodigies can join. Park Ji Sung and Ki Sung Yong were in it as well.

With his excellent physical condition and super workmanship, he was acknowledged by coach Cha Bum Kun. However, due to an injury in 5th grade, he had to give up that dream. If he were to continue that dream, he may have been called the 'Soccer player that is better looking than a celebrity."

Meanwhile, Lee Min Ho is working on the upcoming drama new SBS drama 'Faith' that is to air on the 13th. The person in charge of the costume production, who had to put together his armor, was shocked that he had muscular and thick thighs compared to his tall height and slim body.

Even during his busy schedule, he cheered for the South Korean soccer team that played Brazil. He posted on his Twitter, "Taegeuk Warriors Fighting!"
