Saving face: Lee Min-ho reveals how he tries to stay svelte and youthful
The Korean actor said his face gets swollen easily as he has a bad liver, and revealed that said shooting for his new film Gangnam Blues was once halted because of his facial swelling.

SEOUL: Korean actor Lee Min-ho revealed that his face often looks swollen as he has a bad liver, reported Korean media. He revealed this during a media conference for his maiden film Gangnam Blues on Friday (Dec 12), his first acting project since he starred in the immensely popular drama The Heirs last year, .

“My face gets swollen easily because my liver is not good. Even if I don’t eat anything, it will still swell. Once, while we were shooting, the director asked me what I ate after looking at the footage,” said Lee, who stars alongside girl group AOA’s Kim Seol-hyun and actor Kim Rae-won in Gangnam Blues, a tale of two childhood friends who become embroiled in a battle over land rights in 1970s Seoul.

“I actually only ate spicy chicken noodles the day before, but my face was swollen so we had to stop shooting. That’s why I play badminton every morning to get rid of the swelling.”

Gangnam Blues director Yoo Ha explained that he stopped the shoot not because the swelling was serious, but because he wanted Lee to “look even better” on screen, pointing out that Lee reminded him of French actor Alain Delon in the 1970s.

Lee also revealed during the media conference that he is currently working on looking younger, after his friends told him he looked like he has aged a lot after shooting the action-packed Gangnam Blues, which is scheduled for release in January next year in Korea.

“They are airing reruns of The Heirs on television now. Although it has been just a year since the show, I looked much younger then. I met my friends once while we were shooting Gangnam Blues. They asked me why I aged so much. Now, I am trying my best to look young again,” said Lee.

‘Gangnam 1970 “This Film Is Unfancy. That Is Why This Film Is Cool.”

Press release for film <Gangnam 1970> was held at CGV Theater in Apgujeongdong, Gangnam District, Seoul on December 12. Lee Min-ho, Kim Rae-won, Jung Jin-young and director Yu Ha participated.

Film <Gangnam 1970>, directed by Yu Ha, is a story of desire, loyalty, and betrayal unfold in the background of Gangnam in early 70s. It also portrays friendship of Lee Min-ho(Kim Jong-dae) and Kim Rae-won(Lee Yong-gi).

Director Yu Ha said, “In 1970s, Gangnam was full of political corruption, real estate speculation and so on. I want to ruminate on pariah capitalism through this film.”

Regarding casting, he said, “I have been brainwashed that I should work with actor Lee Min-ho by my wife for 2 years. My wife is big fan of him. It was my fate to work with him.”

Regarding actor Kim Rae-won, “I was so lucky to work with him. He is a good actor and looks kind of naïve. But, he is still little tricky. This matches with his character of film. (laugh).”

Look forward to his acting as a bad guy

Kim Rae-won appears as a man named ‘Baek Yong-gi’ who can commit murder to be a boss.

He said, “I think actors in my age all wish to work with director Yu Ha. I was one of them. I really liked my character ‘Yong-gi’ as well.”“Story of Gangnam in 1970s was really interesting to me,” he added.

Regarding his character, he said, “I asked questions about my character when I first met director. I asked why ‘Yong-gi’ always violent, then director simply said, ‘Yong-gi’ is a gangster.’ He moved me with that statement.”

Director Yu Ha said, “I like to work with actors who have great potential.”“It was also Lee Min-ho’s first challenge for violent and raw character. He has really deep and mellow eyes. People may can see it in the film.”

He also said, “I appear as a hostile man. I think I did a good job in this film.”

Actor Jung Jin-young also stated, “This film is unfancy. That is why this film is cool.”

Film <Gangnam 1970> opens on January 21 next year.
