Lee Min-ho to release a digital single

Huh. Boys Before Flowers star Lee Min-ho is pairing with well-known songwriter Park Geun-tae to release a digital single. A “famous female rapper” is also reportedly featured on the track.

Guess he’s not about to let his co-star Gu Hye-sun have all the fun packing her resumé with other activities. Not only will a single be sold, an accompanying music video will be shot (it’s still being cast, but the director has been selected).

Although Lee will be singing the track, don’t consider it a foray into a kpop career; it’s more like a fancy CF. This comes as part of an ad campaign for Cass beer, for which Lee is brand model.

As we know, Korea’s got a pretty good track record in the branded entertainment field. The people behind this project express hope of creating another sensation like the uber-popular series of Anymotion/Anyclub cell phone adverts a few years ago that starred Lee Hyori and Eric. Those were more like mini-movies than commercials in scope, and also released digital singles.

Counter to Lee’s arrogant onscreen image from BBF — or even his shy offscreen one — the song is being described as “exuberant club dance music.” The gist of the song lyrics paints Lee as an innocent guy who gets seduced by a woman (they’re currently casting for his female partner). The director, Cha Eun-taek, was also the man behind Hyori’s “Anymotion” and “U Go Girl” videos.

Um. Lee Min-ho, love ya dude, and I think you’re a great budding actor, but I may just have to draw the line at exuberant club dance music. Don’t let them Jang Geun-seok you into a career of funny-but-meaningless glorified commercials!

(Okay, if it’s catchy I will probably dance around to it. In shame. But dance nonetheless.)

I'm all for more Lee Min-ho goodness, so long as it is tasteful and respectable. When it crosses the line to ridiculousness, then he will lose a fan following.

I'm going to adopt the 'let's wait and see' approach. You never know, he might surprise us.

He's young, let him be; if this one fails, he can still make a come back and soon people will conveniently forget and put it behind. I'm all for exploring one's capability, hidden or obvious. Don't think it will kill him - or us - if it's a failure. Maybe, we'll see who are the true fans that will stick with him despite a misstep, even though I hope it won't come to that. Have some faith, is all I'm saying~

Really low expectations... but as of now, I can't really blame him. I would try to do everything I can experience while I still have people supporting me and telling me I can do it. coz once you NOT famous, you really dun have much opportunity. =P

LOL @ the number of commentors just becoz' it about LEE MIN HO. xD

if they're still casting a famous female rapper then i sorta hope they'll
cast Yoobin from Wondergirls. She's pretty good at rapping & i'm sure that will
attract the fans =]]

this Min-Ho fad is getting out of control. It's disappointing since this won't really allow him to develop as an actor. He's really talented, and I want to see his acting more.

Looking over the comments, I think there's a need for perspective here. (Also puzzling . .. I guess nobody here watches Japanese or Chinese/Taiwanese dramas, where the majority of leads both sing and act. AND BBF IS an idol drama after all.) For now, it's just a one-off CF, which involves a single. It's not a second career as a pop singer; it's not even an album; it's not a vanity project; it's just a dance tune, which require the least amount of actual vocal talent to do. Just let your soul glo Lee Min Ho, soouull gloooooo!!!!!!! :D

If there is a legitimate complaint, it's LMH has already become a CM Queen and a oversaturated media presence, and is prime for a big anti-backlash before the show has even finished. It's likely that he'll go the Binnie-after-Sam Soon career path (i.e. do a teen movie with -- wait for it, wait for it -- Lee Yeon Hee, and then do dramas geared toward the really young.) I feel the best move, though, is also the counter intuitive one. Pursue a SUPPORTING role in a drama that you really want to do and soon after BBF is over.

i hope this won't ruin my perfect image of lee minho. i want to always remember him as the adorkable and shy, long-legged fellow who can rock curly hair and act well at the same time.

@yumi,

If it's going to be Yoo-Bin, it'll probably come out like this:

"
Uh uh feel me.
F4. WG.
nobody but 'chu
Min Ho Lee
Yoo Bin Please.
No Jandi
Just Candy.
Touch my pama!!!"

Lee Min-ho was in a bad car accident two years ago and has a steel pin? plate? something? in his leg. He needs to get additional surgery and is waiting till BBF finishes.

@68 NuttyNan: i believe lee min ho has an iron rod in his right thigh and knee. he's supposed to get surgery in may, after all bof related activities wrap up, to have it removed. also, as to the plastic surgery thing, i think popseoul mentioned something about him having the bridge of his nose fixed/straightened; there was supposedly a 'bump' on it before...but then again popseoul thinks almost every kceleb has something tweaked here or there, so who knows?

Uhmmm its great he is having all these offers but what about GHS, why isnt she getting any CF offers? I cant believe she is being overlooked during this whole hoopla! And the LG CF doesnt count since that was with LMH and Kim Bum.

"but what about GHS, why isnt she getting any CF offers? "

She's already established on that front. Koo's been doing CFs for years, and probably will get more offers after the show finishes. If she takes a break, you'll see her a lot more.

Belleza-

Isn't is strange that there is literally no peep anywhere that she was offered such and such CF? I do understand that she has filmed CFs before this drama. However, this is pretty common during a really popular drama for its actors/actresses to be offered CFs left and right and generally announced while the drama is ongoing. But with her, there is nothing.
