There are K-Drama fans across the globe who share the same passion. But on online platforms, it is hard to know about each other’ stories and tastes. Even if we are in the same fandom, it is hard to get to know each other. So at Kpopmap, we started the Kpopmap Fan Interview Project to get to know more about K-Drama fans from different countries. Just like the Kpopmap Fan Interview for idols, the Kpopmap Fan Interview for actors aims to open the opportunity for fans to promote, talk about, and share their love for their favorite actor/actress with our readers. Two fans from India are the next ones to answer our questions about their favorite actor- Lee MinHo! Check out how they became his fan, the reasons why they are a fan, the dramas they recommend, and much more insights about Lee MinHo. Can you introduce yourself? Where are you from? We are two fangirls from India, Yashika and Ankita. We run a fanclub named “Minholics India”, which is dedicated to our idol South Korean superstar Lee MinHo. Who is your favorite Korean actor/actress? And how and when did you become a fan? Our favorite Korean actor is Lee MinHo. We became his fan in the year 2015 after watching “Boys Over Flowers” and “The Heirs”. We met because of Lee MinHo on Twitter and because we both found each other through him, we’re really thankful to him :). What are the reasons why you love your favorite actor? We love his acting and the way he is very dedicated towards his work. Also, he’s very handsome & makes our hearts flutter! We love him. He is a beautiful person inside out. He is a selfless human being who gives more than he gets. He is a great son, brother, friend, actor, and of course, the best idol. He has proven himself and his talent with his hard work and dedication. He is THE Lee MinHo today only because of his hard work. He is a true inspiration to us and to the millions others. Can you recommend dramas or movies starring your favorite actor for new fans? Personally, we would recommend “Boys Over Flower”, “The Legend of the Blue Sea”, & “The Heirs” to new fans. But we want them to explore & find out which drama of LMH (Lee MinHo) actually suit their tastes. Do you have an all-time favorite scene? Can you describe it or share a video? Currently we’re in love with all the scenes he is playing as Koh HanSu in “Pachinko”. His standalone episode as young HanSu left us all in tears and speechless. We can’t describe in words about Lee MinHo acting. We just felt proud how he delivered every scene with absolute perfection. The expression, the emotions, everything was top notch. Which character played by your favourite actor do you think deserved better? We think it’s Choi Young from the drama “Faith”, because he struggled all his life, went through the worst phases. So yes, he deserved much much better. Which co-actor do you think had the best chemistry with your favourite actor? We think it’s Jun JiHyun. What’s your favourite 2022 moment involving your favourite actor? It was when his latest hollywood debut series “Pachinko” on Apple TV+ received all positive comments from many critics and even received 98% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. These were the best and our most favorite moments for us. Describe him in 5 words. Handsome Hardworking Determined Versatile Donation fairy What about your favourite actor do you relate to the most? He loves to eat & sleep… So yeah 😂 What is your favorite actor’s influence on your daily life or yourself? He makes us want to be a better person for ourselves & the people around us! He made us fall in love with little things in our lives. We’re really grateful of him! He has a really positive impact on our lives. He donates money for many social causes. This inspired us to collect & donate 75K INR (Indian Rupee) during the second wave of COVID-19 in India.
A post shared by Minholics_India (@leeminho_nation) Indian MINOZ Donate To Charity In Celebration Of Lee MinHo’s “Pachinko” KDRAMA STORIES|Mar 24, 2022 For Kpopmap readers who are not familiar with Korean dramas/movies yet, please tell us what makes Korean actors and Korean dramas/movies attractive to you. The stories of K-Dramas & Movies are really intriguing! And the visuals are just amazing, the actors & actresses are very beautiful. Also, their acting skills are really impressive! If you’re looking for some interesting dramas to binge on, then we would definitely recommend you to watch K-Dramas. What genre do you want your favorite actor to appear in? What’s the reason? We would love to see him in action thriller, because we like action movies and he can show many emotions through that genre. His previous movie, “Gangnam Blues” left big impression on us. So we want to see him play something with a similar genre, but with different character and story. Which actors would you like your favorite actor to act with? We would like to see him work with actors Lee JungJae, Tom Cruise, Akshay Kumar, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Do you feel there are any misunderstandings, things that are not well known, or any prejudices about your favorite actor? Now that the Korean entertainment industry is on the global level, we still think that the actors and actresses (basically every Korean artist) are facing prejudices towards them. Most of the people still don’t want to watch K-Dramas and Movies because the language is not the English. They are missing so much good content just because it’s in Korean language & they say that they don’t understand it! I hope they can end that prejudice or they’ll lose something good to see. Because not only do we get good K-dramas but we also learn about a new culture and language through the shows. Have you ever made a new friend because of K-Dramas? We’re really thankful to K-Dramas and especially to Lee MinHo that “we” both found each other and there are few more good, reliable and trustworthy friends we call our group K-Divas. We met many people on Twitter from different countries and with time we have become good friends we love to chat with them even though we’re from different countries. Lee MinHo is the string that brought us together. Indian MINOZ’s message to Lee MinHo: We want to congratulate him for the huge success of “Pachinko”. The praises and love he is receiving from people around the world is so overwhelming. We’re so proud we stan a very talented actor who inspires us to be a better person and help the people in need. A beautiful person is someone who stays true to themselves and their spirit; someone who is self-confident and can make you smile. You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person we have ever known— and even that is an understatement. Thank you for answering our questions, MINOZ.
