Actor Lee Min-ho confessed about a car accident he had previously experienced.

Lee Min Ho appeared as a guest on the tvN variety programme ‘Yoo Quiz ON THE BLOCK’ (‘Yoo Quiz’) on the 25th.

Actor Lee Min-ho attracted attention by revealing the behind-the-scenes story of his audition for the drama Boys Over Flowers. Yoo Jae-seok asked, "I heard that you had an unintended gap when you were a rookie just starting your career", and Lee Min-ho opened up about the car accident he experienced after the EBS production ‘Secret Schoolyard’.

Lee Min-ho said, "I was in a major car accident. There was a perpetrator, but it was such a big accident that everyone in the perpetrator's car died. I lived for almost a year while lying in hospital", he recalled, shocking the audience.

In response, Yoo Jae-suk looked regretful as he recalled the incident, saying, "I went on a trip with Jung Il and with a drunk driver who crossed the centre line."

Lee Min-ho drew attention when he revealed that he went in with permed hair as the male lead from the time of his audition. He said, "At a young age, it wasn't a hairstyle that looked cool. I didn't want to do it. Looking back, the work worked. If it hadn't gone well, I don't know what my future would have been like", which made him laugh.

Lee Min-ho, who rose to stardom after Boys Over Flowers, said of his popularity at the time "I chose to be isolated. I tried to suppress my emotions. I thought a lot about the family I had to protect and the people who liked me", he confided.
