Lee Min Ho Fights One VS Twelve for “City Hunter”

Actor Lee Min Ho fought against twelve men for a scene in his upcoming drama “City Hunter.” In early April, he shot a muddy fight sequence, and photos of the shoot have been released. Lee plays multi-talented Lee Yoon Sung, a MIT graduate who works in the Blue House National Communications Team. Not only is Lee Yoon Sung extremely smart, he's also skilled in several areas - including the martial arts.

Even in freezing temperatures, he managed to heat up the set with his powerful moves. He refused to use a stunt double for the scene and fought through the cold rain in nothing but a wife beater and jeans. It’s been said that Lee prepared for this action sequence for some time. As a result, he completed the scene perfectly without any NGs (no good scenes). It was probably hard enough to stand still in the mud, let alone fight and act in it. However, both Lee Min Ho and his action skills still managed to shine despite being covered in mud.

Lee Min Ho received formal martial arts training for several months. He practiced Arnis and Kali, a class of Filipino martial arts that emphasize weapon-based fighting. Many Korean fans became aware of Arnis and Kali through 2010’s blockbuster movie “Ajusshi” starring Won Bin.

He displayed confidence and skill as he performed the scene against twelve other professionals. The rest of the cast and crew were left dazed with his perfect chemistry with the stunt team. Representatives of the production team stated, “Lee Min Ho managed to melt away the freezing temperatures with his passionate hot moves. He’s definitely matured as an actor and became manlier. Fans can expect great things from Lee Min Ho in ‘City Hunter.’”

“City Hunter” is based on the best-selling Japanese manga by Hojo Tsukasa. SBS will broadcast its first episode on May 25th.

Initial Revealing of The Kiss Scene Between Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young in 'City Hunter'

이민호와 박민영의 키스신 현장이 공개됐다.

The filming set for Lee Minho and Park Minyoung's kiss scene has been revealed.

4월 28일 방송된 SBS ‘한밤의 TV연예’에서는 이민호와 박민영 주연 드라마 ‘시티헌터’ 촬영장을 최초 공개했다.

The filming site for Lee Minho and Park Minyoung's drama 'City Hunter' was first revealed through SBS's Entertainment TV on April 28.

최근 강남 한 클럽에서 ‘시티헌터’ 주인공 이민호와 박민영의 키스신이 있었다. 첫 키스신이어서 그런지 두 사람은 계속 NG를 냈다. 알고보니 회전판 위에 올라가 키스를 해야했기 때문에 어지러웠던 것.

A kiss scene between the leads took place at a club in Kangnam. Since it is their first kiss scene, they kept getting NGs. The reason is because they had to stand on a rotating panel while kissing and it might have caused dizziness.

어지러움을 참아내자 다음엔 이민호가 맞는 신이 있었다. 이민호는 촬영 전 “따귀를 맞아야 돼서 두렵다. 다른 여자를 떼어내기 위해 박민영을 이용하는 장면이다”고 설명했다.

Right after enduring the dizziness, LMH had a scene where he would get hit. Before filming the scene, LMH said "I'm gonna get slapped on the cheek, so i'm afraid." He explained that he had to use Park Minyoung to get rid of another girl.

그러나 이민호는 여자에게 뺨을 맞은 뒤 곧바로 박민영에게 엎어치기 당하는 장면까지 소화해야 했다. 이 신을 앞두고 두 사람은 여러번 연습했지만 실전에서는 잘못 엎어지기도 했다.

However, right after LMH was slapped on the cheek by the girl, he had to be knocked over by PMY. Although both of them rehearsed the scene several times, it didn't turn out right when they filmed.

이민호는 “오늘 만신창이다. 스펙타클한 촬영이다”며 어려워하면서도 웃으며 말했다.

Lee Minho expressed, "i'm a total wreck today. Filming was dramatic." Although it was tough, he said it with a smile.
