The movie producers tried to transform this actor into an ugly beggar but he eventually became a “handsome beggar”

Here is a behind-the-scenes story about actor Lee Min Ho during the filming of the 2015 film “Gangnam Blues”.

Set in the 1970s, “Gangnam Blues” tells about two childhood friends, whose friendship is tested as they get entangled in the collusion and battles between political powers and criminal organizations. This movie starred Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae Won as the two childhood friends Kim Jong Dae and Baek Yong Ki.

At the time of the filming of “Gangnam Blues”, the public was still impressed by the handsome and flashy image of Lee Min Ho as Kim Tan in the popular drama “The Heirs”.

Therefore, the production team tried to change Lee Min Ho’s image and make him look like a dirty and ugly beggar. In particular, they told the actor to wear a thick and long wig to hide his handsome face.

Nevertheless, viewers who watched the movie commented that all the makeup, outfits, and props could not hide Lee Min Ho’s beauty. That’s why they called Lee Min Ho’s character a “handsome beggar”.
