Who is Lee Min-ho?
Lee Min-ho (이민호) is one of the most recognisable and widely loved Korean actors in the world — the undisputed face of the Korean Wave in India and across Asia. Born on June 22, 1987 in Heukseok-dong, Seoul, he graduated from Konkuk University with a degree in Film Arts. He made his acting debut in the drama Secret Campus (2006) and had minor roles before his career-defining breakthrough came with Boys Over Flowers (2009) — in which he played the charismatic and wealthy Gu Jun-pyo. The show was a phenomenon across Asia and remains the drama that introduced millions of Indian viewers to K-dramas.
He followed Boys Over Flowers with City Hunter (2011), Faith (2012), Heirs (2013), Legend of the Blue Sea (2016) — all massive hits in India — before completing his mandatory South Korean military service from 2017 to 2019. Post-military, he returned with The King: Eternal Monarch (2020) on Netflix, which became one of the most-watched Korean dramas in India. He then starred in Pachinko Season 2 (2024) on Apple TV+. With over 30 million Instagram followers and a fanbase that spans India, Southeast Asia, China and beyond, Lee Min-ho is the most followed Korean actor in India by a significant margin.
Boys Over Flowers (2009) and Heirs (2013) are consistently cited as the K-dramas that introduced Indian viewers to Korean content — and Lee Min-ho was the face of both. His fan clubs in India are among the most active K-drama communities in the country, with dedicated birthday events, trending campaigns and fan meetups organised every year on June 22. This page is the only live IST birthday countdown for him made specifically for Indian fans.
