‘Pachinko’ Lee Min-ho revealed the reason for his appearance.
Actor Lee Min-ho said at the production show of the Apple TV Plus original ‘Pachinko’ Season 2 (hereafter ‘Pachinko 2’) held at a hotel in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 23rd, “A story that I had not received attention from the time it was first proposed to bring to such a large market that it survived those times rather than a historical proclamation.”
At the same time, in response to the answer that “the amount of work is small,” he explained, “The amount is not a criterion for my choice of work,” and “The same thing going for ‘Pachinko,’ and other jobs. It will be done according to the direction the job wants to go rather than the amount.”
Lee Min-ho is one of the most influential artists in Korea, working as an actor, producer and creative director. He has a total of 99 million social media followers on Instagram, Facebook, and Weibo, and has an incredible influence around the world. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea has chosen Lee Min-ho as the Korean actor most loved by overseas audiences for five consecutive years from 2018 to 2022.
Hansu, played by Lee Min-ho, became rich by being the son-in-law of a Japanese Yakuza, but he runs a business in Joseon and falls in love with Seon-ja (played by Kim Min -ha). However, he was criticized by viewers for not telling Seonja that he was a married man and suggesting that he stay with him.
Lee Min-ho said about Han-soo’s interest in Seon-ja and his desire for children out of wedlock, “I thought it was possession rather than love,” and “At that time , men were not good at understanding women, so they prioritized their own feelings.
He then said, “If Hansoo was in this era, it would be difficult to get a good rating,” making people laugh.
Meanwhile, ‘Pachinko 2’ will be released for the first time on the 23rd.
