Actor Lee Min Ho not only has a lot of fans in Chile, but his fans recently found a unique way to express their enthusiasm. They helped restore a fire-ravaged forest in his name in Patagonia, which they hope he will one day visit.

From December 2011 to January 2012, a wildfire destroyed a large area of the Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chilean Patagonia. The national park is known for its beautiful mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers. The wildfire destroyed 68 miles of the park, including miles of native forest.

A project was created called Reforest Patagonia. The project asked people to donate money to plant trees in the damaged section of the forest. So, The Minoz Chile Fan Club decided to help reforest the park in Lee Min Ho's name.

As of today, the fan club has donated over 300 trees, each costing 2,000 pesos, which amounts to about $4.

The fans call this new section of the restored national park, Lee Min Ho Forest and are pleased to say that you can see the progress through a satellite photo.

On the webpage for this forest, Minoz fans are quoted as saying, "We planted this forest to express our love for the Korean actor Lee Min Ho. We wanted to show him a beautiful Patagonia and hope for his visit."

Although he has never traveled to South America, the actor is very popular in Chile because of his performances as Goo Jun Pyo in "Boys Over Flowers," Jeon Jin Ho in "Personal Taste," Lee Soon Young in "City Hunter" and Choi Young in "Faith: The Great Doctor."

He is slated to appear next in the drama, "The Heirs" with Park Shin Hye. Chile's fans will be sure to watch.

Kdramas are increasingly popular in South America and especially in Chile, where many students watch them on youtube.

And it's not just Korean dramas that are popular in Chile. The South American country has taken to Korean culture in a big way. Chile also has many kpop fans. In 2012, Bigbang took their Alive Tour to Chile.

In a bid to respond to the fans’ overwhelming support, the 25-year-old star is set to drop his first mini-album early May. He will embark on Asia tour in late May, starting with Seoul.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude towards the people who helped to complete this drama. In addition, this year’s summer was the toughest, I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to all the staff & actors. 

Last year when I was on this stage, I said I hope that in my next project, it would be the whole team instead of myself alone rewarding. It cannot be realised this year, I feel sorry and it’s a bit pity. 

Every actor in The Great Doctor, I miss you. Hope that we could gather together in this new year, forget everything and have a drink. For all the local & overseas fans who always support and love me, you really grant me a lot of positive energy every time when we meet. Whenever I see your gaze, I feel more reponsibility on me. I will be committed to return your love with better projects.

Thank you,

With quite a bit of hit projects under his belt, Lee Min Ho figured that he’s gained himself some fame, but he also admitted that he never expected to recieve this much love overseas, especially from China.

During a recent shoot with star lifestyle magazine @star1, Lee Min Ho talked about his rising fame with his dramas Boy Before Flowers and City Hunter, both of which have become quite popular in China.

Lee Min Ho said in the interview, “Up to this point, Korean dramas have been loved overseas, not for its special genre, but for its easy romance or comedy. But because City Hunter is an action-packed drama, I was quite surprised that it was actually popular in China.” 

Now that he’s well-known in both countries, Lee Min Ho says it doesn’t matter what kind of project he is offered, whether it’s Korean or international.

“I think a project is full of charms if it’s a good production or has a character that I’m greedy for," revealed Lee Min Ho. "If it’s a worthwhile project, no matter where it’s created, it’ll be competitive anywhere.”

Adding on to his mindset of dramas, Lee Min Ho said, “From the beginning to the end of a drama, it’s most important that I’m focused on the project that I’m responsible for and feel affection towards it. Then I get faith that the project will end up being good before getting fully engaged in it.”


Lee Min Ho’s entire interview and pictorial will be included in the December issue of @star1.
