It is for this reason that he received the award of “Best New Actor” for a television series in the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards and the 2009 KBS Drama Awards. His popularity skyrocketed, making him a Hallyu star.

In his pursuit of becoming one of the top global Hallyu stars, LEE MINHO also took on the leading role of “City Hunter” in 2011, “The Heirs” in 2013, “The Legend of the Blue Sea” in 2016, and “The King: The Eternal Monarch” in 2020, his latest project “When the Stars Gossip”, and many more.

His long list of accolades also includes the “Prime Minister’s Commendation” at the 5th Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards in 2014 for his contribution to the Korean Wave and a “National Brand Award Grand Prize for the Culture Sector” from the Institute of National Brand Promotion in 2017. Without a doubt, LEE MINHO transcended being an actor, he was now a star, one of the brightest in the world.

Throughout the years, LEE MINHO has become a household name not only in Korea but also around the world, being one of the most influential and sought-after Hallyu stars. His unwavering love and dedication not only to his craft but also to his loyal fans have been the driving force behind his phenomenal success, as he continuously strives to connect with them on a deeper level may it be in acting, music, or fan meetings. His EPs “My Everything” in 2013 and “Song for You” in 2014 are a testament to the genuine dedication he holds for MINOZ. He mentioned that he recorded these tracts solely for his fans, with no intention to pursue a singing career.

In the Philippines, Filo MINOZ had multiple opportunities to meet LEE MINHO through fan meetings often tied with brand promotions.
