You know how they say that a picture’s worth a thousand words? When your subject is the insanely charismatic — and just-as-insanely-styled — Lee Min-ki, that tends to be true.
Lee Min-ki, rockin’ the blond hair, lookin’ funky (and hot), baring some man-book. Those are really all the words you need anyway.
(This spread comes from March’s issue of Cosmopolitan. God bless ‘em.)
(Also, I loved his characterization of Byung-hee so much in Shut Up: Flower Boy Band that I feel guilty saying that I don’t even miss him (much). Which speaks more to how much that drama’s rocking than to Lee Min-ki himself, since he owned those first two episodes.)

He’s just…
Unreal.
totally surreal
Late night eye-candy. I dig that. :3
Is it me or does he look a lot like Jung Suk Won in that second picture?
Hah! He totally does.
The first picture, it’s something… He has metallic star stickers on his cheeks, bleached hair, and… is he covered in that fake grass to decorate Easter baskets?
Never have I seen such WTF-ery look so cool on an individual, it’s mind-boggling I tell you.
My sentiments exactly! I was like “is that easter bunny grass??”
Lol that man exudes so much sexy-risma I dont know what to do with myself. He’s so punk-badass-ohmyJesuschristmas!
Oy, the hotness.
MINE.
is there chance for a drama comeback?? We can only cont to hope
I HAD HIM FIRST. I will fight for this. (Or we can play nicely and split 50-50).
Au contraire, mon ami. Unless you “mined” him prior to 2009, which I did.
I had him in 2007, pal. Right after Mixed-Up Investigative Agency. Hand him over. *cackles*
Then clearly your hold on him wasn’t tight enough… but mine is a DEATHGRIP.
HAHAHAHA. Langdon will kill you.
Bahahahahaha
Thought of you right away^ He sure is sizzling here. Ouch!
Hail Madame President..
Oh my, can rock any look can’t he?
He’s awesome
My baby!!
TQ JB,
the “breast” looks fake !.
Watch for tonight “SYNDROME”
the second lead actor – very SMOKY CHILLI HOT !!
lol… i agree that the cleavage looks photoshopped in. Looks too singular like he only has a boob on the one side. And it’s kinda “crooked.” In a word, it just looks WRONG!
…now that you mention it, i did a double-take — and it SO looks wrong XD
But that does not mean that he doesn’t look hot.
*takes out whiteboard and pointer to explain*
As you can clearly see, his hotness is all it takes to light that cigarette. I mean, just look at the way it burns! Lee Min-ki is just too hot to handle.
you mean the shower scene we’ll supposedly get to see in EP 4?
Anyways, back on topic. I am just drawn to that first photo when I saw it on newsarticles earlier this morning.

Oh.Em.Gee~ This person falls on the same birthdate as my Papa (different year, of course). My Papa and I are both scorpions.
He totally rocks the funky HOT concept!
I just stared at his face in the first pic for a few minutes… I love the insane style in this spread.
Holy cow, I think i just found my new desktop wallpaper
Lee Min Ki is just awesomely awesome.
All I can think of when I look at these is….”Byung-hee-ah!”
I feel you. But it’s not “not miss” in the sense that we’re dismissing the charisma he brought to the screen in those 2 episodes. But the drama lives on without him, and in a way, the boys have not failed (if I’m not mistaken) to mention his name in every single episode. It’s like their memories of him is also a factor forcing them to get their things together and.. do something.
Now that the drama is where it is, I can’t help but to think how Byung Hee would fit in actually. I’m thinking that if the character stays, he would be so dominant such that the rest would be left to play (five) 2nd-member role. He’s strong enough to lead the band, but seems a bit too eccentric to take in the whole conflict with Strawberry Fields, the relationship with the teacher, and the relationship with Su Ah even. Well, it is possible if he were to tone down the character a bit but NO, I don’t wish to see that.
Opps sorry for turning this into another SUFBB discussion.
I’m crying rainbow tears of joy. srsly
It’s quite sad that he rocks the eyeliner much better than I do.
haha, I thought the same watching him play Byung-hee.
After I saw these floating around on tumblr yesterday I wasted no time in making one my avatar for Disqus (the one with the shades). It makes me feel like everything I say is awesome, honestly.
He just looks cool all the time, man.
I keep thinking about his variety show days where he had a crush on Yoon Eun Hye and I wonder if she looks at all his photo-shoots thinking “man, did I miss out on something?” YES YOU DID, GIRL. YOU DID.
I was thinking of the exact same thing! He was such a bashful young man then, its no wonder he was overlooked. He just bloomed(?) into such a hot young manly thing, its mind boggling. How did that happen? lol
Hahahaha. I think it was just in front of her, but who knows!
Maybe she should just do a drama opposite him!!! It probably won’t be a flop like the last couple dramas she has taken on.
better still, she, acting with joo ji hoon once again in
goong2 as a married couple and having a baby.
Oh, I’d love that! Let’s cross our fingers!
(I know I’m in fantasy drama-land here… but I’d totally watch Goong2 with YEH and JJH.)
Lol, I haven’t watched Goong yet. But that basically sounds like every Taiwanese drama ever…
No one has any right looking that awesome covered in easter grass. I just finished Dal Ja’s Spring for the first time, and for the first time since I was a teenager I understand the urge to follow a celebrity around like a creepy fan girls. le sigh.
Damn he looks so young in the last pick. How old is he cause he looks 18.
27
For the look to be sale-able, he sure did made it uber sale-able to me! I’m surprised I actually liked it. I didn’t realized until know that he was the guy from Dal Ja’s spring. I’m a fan now!
He looks hot O.o
I had no idea who he was prior to SUFBB, but now I can say he’s pretty freakin’ awesome. Work it, Minki!
I have loved him ever since Dal Ja’s Spring and I always will! I loved him in SUFBB! (but I agree with JB… that show is total crack-a-licious that I don’t really miss him)
I have a Min-Ki fan since I Really Really Like You (Love Truly) came out. When I look at the last picture all I can think of is how much I would love to just settle into the spot next to him!
Langdon 813-Please don’t kill me! I know he’s yours! haha
*keeps a close eye on Spooksmom*
WOW>. I just loved the first pic.. I thought it was someone else.. such a beauty he looks even more hotter with white hair..XD
So Andy Warhol style ? I never visualized him in blond, but it suits him.
I can’t understand why he didn’t get bigger / better roles offered in the past. He burns the screen.
Imagine him bringing his acting and charisma in DH2, maybe as a crazy teacher from out of space. Giving tips to the boys for seducing girls.
Hahahaha, rock star/student-teacher who constantly gets in trouble for flirting with his female students. I can see that going down.
Not a bad way to focus the attention of the viewers isn’t it ? Since DH2 plot is such a ball of yarn…
Ooo, wow, these pictures are really unique and surreal ~ oh aiyhooooo….
This is *awesome. He just transformed. The first picture is the best !!
I never fully grasp his appeal until Shut Up! Now I understand. And this shoot just works.
*grasped
Shut up flower band didnt hook me on – watched only first ep. Can you give me a spoiler and say why Lee Min-Ki disappears after 2nd ep?
Street + Truck = Dead
I just love this boy and the individuality we all know he possess! LOVE HIM!!!! The best INDIE dude ever!!!
crazy about him today
his cheeks are annoying me !!I cant point it but its there !!
he’s too beautiful. i mean, he really reminds me of GD. because he can wear anything, make it look good, and still be smoking hot. he can be covered from head to toe and still be hotter than Taecyeon without his shirt one. that is saying a lot. not many people can do that, but he just looks………..wow.
He reminds me of… glitter rock.
Like wild untamed expression coupled with edgy youthful dissatisfied untertones. Maybe it’s the colors and clothes coupled with the glare in his eyes in some of the pictures haha.
I miss his character though! The drama’s great!
Now I’m just being teased some more with these photos. It’s now indescribable how bad I want to watch Chilling Romance.
When do those Hammer pants die off the face of the Earth!?!
I wish he was portrayed as a Korean James Dean instead, being a ‘rebel without a cause’ motif.
I don’t know how to describe him. He just stands out in every role he’s in. He doesn’t have to play a crazy character like Byung-hee for me to remember him. He can play a simple young man from Busan like in Haeundae and still be memorable. Loved him as Byung-hee but loved him just as much as Busan boy as well. How does he do it??
I’ve got to say that although he’s rocking the first photo, I dislike the fact that they covered his majestic cheekbones with star stickers.
so cool , , .. . my Le Min Ki . .. . <3
lookin good ^.^
Thank you, Cynthia
That was mean from them to use him as best advertising for dramas ever and then kill with a truck
He can basically do whatever he wants and we love him for it. Do a full drama Lee Min-Ki! We’re waiting!
Haa, Dat pout is so adorable ;3
smoking and drinking and minki OH MY.
he needs to do a kdrama. like NOW.
