Yikes, Lee Min-ho was recently involved in a mid-shoot car accident while working on his current (totally addicting and awesome) drama City Hunter.
On the one hand, that car looks pretty wrecked, as you can see below. The action scene being filmed took place in Ilsan, Kyeonggi-do, and those involved (including Lee) were taken to the emergency room right away.
On the other hand, Lee’s agency has confirmed that while he was evaluated for injury, he escaped serious harm. SBS’s CP Kim Young-sub stated, “With the car half totaled, we were worried, but fortunately his injuries weren’t severe. Aside from Lee Min-ho, there was another person riding in the car, a director from the production company who was injured and treated. Since safety comes first, we shut down filming and will focus on treating the injured parties.”
Kim added that the delay won’t affect the drama’s run, however: “We have a few scenes left to film, but we’ll possibly continue filming tomorrow, or will have to rely on other methods like editing.”
On the other hand (what, you don’t have three?), how is his Yoon-sung character back to driving a dark car? In the latest episode, he was driving a gray car, after his blue one got sideswiped (thanks to Daddy Dearest for that). Can he be on car number 3 already? And after this, they’ll have to find a way to explain moving on to car number 4, which, if they manage to work into the drama in a meta sort of way, could just be awesome. Maybe it could be part of his City Hunter shtick — new target, new car?
Then again, I suppose Yoon-sung’s car switches (and potential crashes) shouldn’t come as so much of a surprise, with all the mooning he does over Nana in that thing. C’mon — who else watched those bus-chasing scenes and yelled at their screens, “Eyes on the road, buddy”? No wonder he needed a designated driver. Maybe that should be his big excuse for keeping Nana around.

O_O my heart just stopped when I read the first part of the headline… then breathed a sigh of relief when I read the second part. What’s his condition now? I mean “escaped serious harm” can also mean “still alive but still injured”?
omo, heard he’ll be back on the set today after less than a day’s rest!
Please be safe minho! We love you!!!
DOES ANYONE THINK MAYBE ITS HIS DRIVING SKILLS…AND NOBODY’S FAULT BUT HIS…AHAHAH…LOLZ…IF THE MAN DONT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AND ACT THEN HE SHOULD NOT DO THOSE KIND OF SCENES ………
Thank god his handsome face wasn’t injured..it would have been tragic
oh gosh. my love is injured?!! i should fly to his side and feed him home-cook porridge. then, gentlely tucked him in bed while singing him a lullaby. hey, i m a good driver. i can be his off screen driver. MIN HO, consider this. and consider this fast. i m a busy lady, i may pull out my offer if you hesitate. anyway, speedy recovery, my love.
I’m sorry to say this news just put me on a ‘CH must see’ mode. LMH’s stunts in this drama were awesome so far, I hope he will stay safe and sound to the end (think TWSSG) *sign*
Lee Min Ho is precious person so film people should use stuntmen. If LMH gets hurt a hair on him, fans will be furious!!!
aigoo… get well soon miho oppa
Oh that would be the perfect explanation for a designated driver. And a legit one at that.
Good thing no one got seriously injured.
I hope no one else was hurt. xC
man! I hope they show this in the phils soon…
as always, javabeans and girlfriday recaps are THE BEST =)
I’m glad he wasn’t hurt. <3 But does anyone care about the other guy who was in the car? The camera guy or something? I hope he's okay too. xD <3
gomawo lee minho because you’re fine.
“With the car half-totaled we were worried,
but fortunately his injuries weren’t severe.”
HUH?
You want to run that past me again?
A half-totaled car is not a simple fender-bender.
Is Lee Min-ho made out of marshmallows?
Anybody ever see a “slo-mo” film of the crash
test dummies when the car hits something?
Pretend you fell down a flight of stairs.
Pretend you were shook up, like a baby.
Pretend you were spinning in a clothes dryer.
AT THE VERY LEAST, after being in a car crash,
your body, especially your joints and muscles,
needs to recover from the shock. “Recover”
means “recover.” An extra hours nap during
filming doesn’t cover it.
Sorry for my language, but this “pooh-pooh
nobody got hurt” crap, announced after each
and every injury during the usual frantic filming
schedule of Korean TV, needs a heavy dose
of honesty. Are the actors too scared of losing
their jobs to demand more time between filming
and broadcast dates?
I hope that LMH and the director/passenger are
given enough time to recover properly. And the
two weeks “grace” period goes down the drain…..
