Lee Min Ho opened up about facing intense criticism during the early days of his career and shared some light-hearted moments during a recent interview.

On January 6th, Lee Min Ho appeared on the web show Jjanhanhyung Shindongyeop alongside Gong Hyo Jin to promote their new tvN drama When the Stars Gossip.

While discussing his career, the beloved actor reflected on some of the challenges he faced, including an overwhelming wave of hate comments after the first episode of his breakout drama, Boys Over Flowers.

Lee Min Ho shared, "When the first episode aired, my Minihompy (a social media platform at the time) was flooded with malicious comments. Around 500,000 to 600,000 people came to my page just to curse me out."

He added, "It was because my character bullied Geum Jan Di (played by Goo Hye Sun). I started to wonder if I had done something really wrong and felt very worried."

However, things took a positive turn as the drama progressed. "Thankfully, those who hated my character in the beginning ended up loving him later on," he said, recalling the dramatic shift in audience perception as the storyline developed.

During the show, Lee Min Ho also spoke about connecting with people in different fields. "I enjoy meeting people who have different perspectives from mine, like entrepreneurs or IT leaders," he explained. "I feel closer to people who seem unchanged, even if we meet after years apart."

Reflecting on his roles, Lee Min Ho admitted it had been a while since he played a character who felt inferior. "Experiencing dismissive or cold looks from someone made me feel hurt," he said, laughing as he added, "But I think I was probably the worst when it came to giving those looks in my roles as a rich character."

Shin Dong Yeop joked, "How many actors do you think you’ve hurt with those glares?" making everyone laugh on set.

Lee Min Ho’s candidness and humor about his struggles with hate comments and his acting experiences have once again shown why fans continue to adore him. When the Stars Gossip airs on tvN, and fans can’t wait to see him back in action!

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
