Netizens thought Lee Min Ho's foreign language ability was unrealistic at the same time.

Recently, an interview footage of Lee Min Ho and Kim Min Ha promoting the series Pachinko became viral on social networking platforms. The ability of the two main actors in the film to "shoot" in English has piqued the interest of netizens.

While Kim Min Ha consistently impresses by answering interview questions in English clearly and easily, like a native, netizens shake their heads in distaste whenever Lee Min Ho's turn comes up.

In the footage, Lee Min Ho's English speech is regarded clumsy and imprecise. With simple queries, the gorgeous actor had to seek the assistance of an interpreter.

This appears to irritate viewers because Lee Min Ho is one of Korea's top performers with a sizable film income. As a result, one of the skills that this actor needs to improve is his knowledge of a foreign language.

However, this is not the first time Lee Min Ho has been criticized for his command of a foreign language. Lee Min Ho's ability to "shoot" in English with his traditional Korean-lish standard as seen in the series "Legend of the Blue Sea" in conjunction with Jun Ji Hyun impressed fans.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
