“City Hunter” releases still-cuts of Lee Min Ho’s shower scene

On May 25th, SBS’s “City Hunter” released a set of sizzling still-cuts of actor Lee Min Ho showing off his perfect body in a shower scene.

According to the producers the scene was shot back on the 15th and is considered an important detail to understanding the overall plot for the drama.  Lee Min Ho plays the role of ‘Yoon Sung’, an undercover Blue House official that is forced to hide his exceptional athletic skills in order to keep his identity hidden.

After completing judo training with his co-workers, ‘Yoon Sung’ insists on showering alone in an effort to hide his past battle scars.

Through still-cuts released earlier, we already know that he’s trained in not only gunnery, but Filipino martial arts and judo as well.  As it turns out, he’s also taken up aerobic exercises and swimming to further sculpt his body.

With such dedication, “City Hunter” is certainly shaping up to be one of the most anticipated dramas of the year.  The pilot episode is scheduled to air on May 25th!

Lee Min Ho Masters the Art of Seduction

 Actor Lee Min Ho mastered the art of seduction for his upcoming drama “City Hunter” along with the art of gun fighting, tree climbing, martial arts, and a Ph.D degree from MIT. Recently released photos reveal the Blue House National Communications’ agent Lee Yoon Sung (Lee Min Ho) getting cozy with neither Kim Nana (Park Min Young),his to-be love interest, nor Choi Da Hae (Goo Hara), the President’s daughter who has a huge crush on him, but with a mysterious unknown woman (Min Young Won).

In the photos, the two are at a club drinking and “enjoying” each other’s company. Lee Min Ho manages to pull Min Hee’s (Min Young Won) heartstrings with his at-times indifferent and unresponsive attitude as she tries to get more intimate with him. His character, Lee Yoon Sung, is said to be quite the womanizer with enough skills in seducing women to rival Casanova.

While he’s probably mixing work with pleasure, it is said that Lee Yoon Sung only wooed Min Hee as part of his undercover mission. Actress Min Young Won is most known for her character in “Boys Before Flowers.” She played Lee Mi Sook who was part of the JinSunMi gang who went out of their ways to make Jandi’s (Gu Hye Sun) life miserable. She was asked by director Jin Hyuk to guest star in “City Hunter.” The two have worked together in “Brilliant Legacy” where she played Han Hyo Joo’s BFF. Last year, she received much media attention after receiving a proposal from a Dubai prince.

Representatives of SSD stated, “Lee Min Ho melted the hearts of our female crew with his art of seduction. They’ve nicknamed him Casahunter saying he surpasses Casanova’s skills in seducing women.”  

“City Hunter” is based on the best-selling Japanese manga by Hojo Tsukasa and also stars Lee Joon Hyuk, Goo Hara, and Hwang Sun Hee. It will air its pilot episode this coming Wednesday, May 25^th.

Lee Min Ho Receives Caricature Present from Mangaka of “City Hunter”

Actor Lee Min Ho revealed the caricature present that he received from Tsukasa Hojo, the mangaka of the Japanese manga series “City Hunter.” Yesterday on his me2day, Lee Minho posted the following photo along with the description, “I received an awesome present at the ‘City Hunter’ press conference today. ‘City Hunter’ fighting! Everyone fighting.”

In the photo, the actor is flashing a bright smile and making a “V” sign while holding up a caricature picture. The illustrated character featured in the drawing is the main character of the original manga series “City Hunter” and shares similar facial features with Lee Min Ho.

Netizens have commented, “Impressive drawing,’ “Casting reflects the original manga character quite well,” “I’m really looking forward to the drama. Lee Min Ho fighting!”

SBS’s “City Hunter” starring Lee Min Ho, Park Min Young, Lee Jun Hyuk, Goo Hara, and Kim Sang Joong will air its first episode on the 25^th.

Even in freezing temperatures, he managed to heat up the set with his powerful moves. He refused to use a stunt double for the scene and fought through the cold rain in nothing but a wife beater and jeans. It's been said that Lee prepared for this action sequence for some time. As a result, he completed the scene perfectly without any NGs (no good scenes). It was probably hard enough to stand still in the mud, let alone fight and act in it. However, both Lee Min Ho and his action skills still managed to shine despite being covered in mud.

Lee Min Ho received formal martial arts training for several months. He practiced Arnis and Kali, a class of Filipino martial arts that emphasize weapon-based fighting. Many Korean fans became aware of Arnis and Kali through 2010's blockbuster movie "Ajusshi" starring Won Bin.

Meanwhile, the new SBS drama 'City Hunter' is a drama originally based on Tsukasa Hojo's worldwide hit manga, which especially attracts a worldwide attention because it's being produced as a TV drama series for the first time.

Lee Min Ho is acting the role of 'Lee Yoon Sung', who works at the Blue House's National Communication Network Team and received his Ph.D at M.I.T. He is putting his best effort and passion to his comeback drama after a year of break. Until now, he showed a soft image from 'Boys over Flowers' and 'Personal Taste', but this time he will demonstrate the more mature and strong Real man's image.

New Photos of Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young for “City Hunter”

While we’ve been getting an influx of Lee Min Ho’s stills, this is the first time Park Min Young’s teasers have been released. Lee Min Ho plays Lee Yoon Sung, a MIT graduate who works in the Blue House National Communications Team. In the released stills, he showed a chic and masculine look with a sharp long black jacket with grey pants. His monotone look gave off a very simple and comfortable yet chic style and fit his haughty character.

 Park Min Young plays Kim Na Na, a former Judo athlete and current Blue House secret service agent. She sported a classic black suit matched with a white blouse for a clean charismatic look. She’s from a poor family and has a great sense of pride in what she does. Her role is to protect the president’s daughter played by Goo Hara. Fans are greatly anticipating the chemistry between chic urban man Lee Min Ho and charismatic lady Park Min Young.

He’s also been very attentive to the advices from the cast and crew.
