Career



Acting


After honing his acting in one-act dramas, Lee Min-ki first gained popularity on television in romantic comedies Love Truly (2006) and Dal-ja's Spring (2007).[2][3] He then starred in the quirky low-rated cult series Four Gold Chasers (2007)[4] and alternated mainstream films with indies such as Oishii Man (2009).[5][6] He gained favorable notices for his supporting roles in the thriller A Million as a hot-tempered Marine-turned-janitor who finds himself involved in a survival reality show;[7] and the disaster film Tidal Wave, in which he plays a lifeguard who makes a heartbreaking sacrifice when a fictional tsunami hits the Korean beach town of Haeundae.[8][9][10]
Lee then solidified his bona fide movie star status with his leading roles in the action film Quick and romantic comedy Spellbound.[11][12][13]


Lee starred alongside Kim Min-hee in the relationship drama Very Ordinary Couple (2013), which was a hit at the box office and received rave views.[14][15]
He followed with leading roles in thriller Monster (2014),[16][17] action noir For the Emperor (2014)[18] and drama film Shoot Me in the Heart (2015), based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Jeong Yu-jeong.[19][20]


In 2017, Lee was cast in the romantic-comedy drama Because This Is My First Life opposite Jung So-min; this is Lee's first television leading role in 10 years.[21] This was followed with the fantasy melodrama The Beauty Inside (2018), based on the 2015 romantic comedy film of the same name. He plays a man who suffers from Prosopagnosia.[22]



Singing


After performing a stylized version of "My Way" at the 2008 Mnet KM Music Festival, Lee lent his vocals to a track with Korean electronica/pop singer Sheean in a collaboration with Japanese electronica/Shibuya-kei artist FreeTEMPO. The song, titled "Power of Love," was released as a digital single, and Lee also appeared in the music video.[23]
On August 11, 2009, he unveiled his musical debut No Kidding, a six track EP with a very indie-electro rock sound.[24] The album's title song "Eternal Summer" was the first and only single released.[25]
In 2013, he released two singles titled "Those Days I Had with You" and "Everything" in collaboration with Gold Coast.[26]



Personal life


Lee enlisted for his mandatory military service on August 7, 2014, and was assigned as a public service worker.[27][28] He was discharged in August 2016.[29]
