City Hunter's Lee Min Ho, a marksman with 100% accuracy rate


Actor LMH shows off his excellent firing skills during Thailand filming for SBS's new Wed-Thurs drama 'City Hunter', which will start broadcasting on the 25th.
According to the production company on the 11th, LMH demonstrated excellent shooting skills, causing an excitement in the local filming atmosphere earlier in Thailand.
In order to show a new side for his role in City Hunter, LMH started receiving personal training sessions on marksmanship, learning the know-hows on accuracy, prior to leaving for Thailand's filming.
Whenever he had time, he would visit the rifle range, and foster his skills with repeated rifle practice. He was able to satisfactorily display shooting skills that are close to that of a pro when in Thailand, thanks to him treating practices as actual warfare.
After being intensively trained, LMH was able to maneuvre anything ranging from a pistol to a shotgun, showing no qualms with the revolver and the rifle, hence perfectly displaying the role of a City Hunter.
Handling a shotgun is not an easy task, since it has to be held in one hand and the person has to endure the exceedingly loud noises the shotgun creates when fired. But LMH boldly held through.
The production company explained saying, "most people tend to get a fright when hearing the sound of guns being fired and they would blink or lean back and relate their distress over the situation. However, LMH showed a natural pose and dignified expression when handling the guns, no matter how loud they were."
"Although his ears were deafened by the sound during the 2 days he filmed with firearms, he showed the spirit of a pro and perfectly assimilated with the filming."
City Hunter is Japan's Hojo Tsukasa's hit project that will be adapted for drama. It has garnered the attention of those in korea due to that reason.
