Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor, singer, and model represented by MYM Entertainment. He started to act in his second year of high school and joined Starhaus Entertainment in his senior year. He completed his mandatory military service in April of 2019. Early on in his career, Min Ho used the stage name Lee Min as his agency found his birth name too ordinary. However, since it was pronounced and written the same as the Korean word for 'immigration', and made him difficult to search on the internet, he reverted to his birth name. In August 2006, Min Ho's acting career was put on hold when sustained injuries in a serious car accident while riding with actor Jung Il Woo who was badly injured in the accident, and two other friends who lost their lives. The accident left him in a coma with severe injuries, including a broken ribs, thigh and ankle, and a tear in his knee cartilage, requiring extensive medical treatment and a 46-centimeter metal pin in his thigh. Despite these challenges, he was able to return to work in 2007 with his first leading role in the drama "Mackerel Run" (달려라 고등어). (Source: Wikipedia; edited by MyDramaList)
