Curiosity drives Lee Min Ho to role in ‘Gangnam 1970’s


Hallyu star Lee Min-ho revealed that his strong curiosity led him to take the part of a tough guy in the upcoming film “Gangnam 1970.”

Directed by well-known filmmaker Yoo Ha, “Gangnam 1970” portrays the lives of two men who were raised together in an orphanage. The movie, set Gangnam in the 1970s, revolves around their friendship, betrayal, and lust for money and power.

“Every male actor in Korea wants to get a role in director Yoo Ha’s movies,” Lee said at a press preview of “Gangnam 1970” held in Seoul on Monday. “That was one of the reasons behind my decision to take part in this film”

“Most importantly, although I’m currently living in Gangnam district, I’m unfamiliar with the Gangnam district of the 1970s,” Lee said. His curiosity about the Gangnam of the past eventually led to his role in the film. 

Lee showed off his masculinity and charisma in “Gangnam 1970” -- the third film of his career. 

“Gangnam 1970” is set to be released nationwide on Jan. 21.

Upon hearing this, MC Shin Dong Yeop said, “I think Lee Min Ho is a really good person,” and shared a story related to him.

Shin Dong Yeop said, “I recently attended a ceremony to receive the prime minister citation and when my wife asked, ‘should I go with you and give you a flower bouquet?’ I refused. So I attended the award ceremony by myself and met Lee Min Ho there. I sent my wife, who is a die hard fan of Lee Min Ho, a picture that I took with him.”

Then Shin Dong Yeop said, “Upon seeing the picture, my wife angrily texted me, ‘I told you that I would go with you!’” causing a round of laughter.


Kim Tae Hyun jokingly commented, “It’s just a text message but I feel like I can hear her voice”

Shin Dong Yeop shared, “Many celebrities tried to take pictures with Lee Min Ho there and he agreed to take pictures with them all without showing any signs of dislike, so I thought he is a really good person.”

Lee Min Ho Went to Emergency Room While Filming ‘Gangnam 1970’

Lee Min Ho shared the story behind going to the emergency room while filming Gangnam 1970.

On January 6, Lee Min Ho attended Gangnam 1970 Red Carpet & Showcase at Time Square, Youngdeungpo and shared, “I went to the emergency room while filming the mud action scene.” 

His story only came up when director Yoo Ha revealed, “The filming took place in the mud so the actors faced skin problems,” and the reporters asked about the scene to the cast members.

According to the film affiliates, the mud action scene is one of the highlights Gangnam 1970. While filming the scene, which took over the duration of a week, Lee Min Ho got injured by losing his toenail.

Lee Min Ho previously revealed during Gangnam 1970 press conference on December 12 of 2014, “I did lose a toenail while filming but it wasn’t a huge action scene. I couldn’t film that day and filmed for three days afterwards by getting painkiller injections.”


According to the film affiliates, Lee Min Ho suffered many injuries while filming the movie.
One affiliate shared, “Since it’s a film mostly made up of action scenes, Lee Min Ho suffered big and small injuries. He not only injured his toenail but his hands, arms and other areas.”

However, Lee Min Ho reportedly did not want to announce his injuries publicly. The affiliate revealed, “It seemed like Lee Min Ho didn’t care so much about his injuries. During filming, Lee Min Ho always said, ‘Of course I have to deal with these kinds of injuries while filming a movie,’ and didn’t want to gather interest by announcing them publicly.”

During the showcase that took place on January 6, Lee Min Ho brought up heading to the emergency room but did not go into details about it. The affiliate said, “Lee Min Ho brought up his injury while sharing a story behind filming the movie but I think he gave an evasive answer because he felt embarrassed.”

Meanwhile, Gangnam 1970 will depict the desire, loyalty and betrayal of two men, named Jong Dae (Lee Min Ho) and Yong Gi (Kim Rae Won), surrounding Gangnam when Seoul was undergoing development in the 1970s. It is the final piece of director Yoo Ha’s street trilogy, following Once Upon a Time in High School and A Dirty Carnival. It is set to premiere on January 21.
