Lee Min Ho, “People Asked If I Was Going Out With Park Shin Hye During Kiss Scenes”
By Staff Writer | Jan 06, 2014




Lee Min Ho in an interview after the popular SBS drama "The Heirs" ended shared that people around him and Park Shin Hye thought they were actually going out together.
Actor Lee Min Ho and actress Park Shin Hye in the popular SBS drama "The Heirs" played the Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang couple.

Lee Min Ho in the interview said that the synergy of him and Park shin Hye attributed to his acting skills, adding that the chemistry of the triangle love relationship of Cha Eun Sang, Kim Tan, and Choi Young Do, played by actor Kim Woo Bin, was the reason behind the popularity of the drama "The Heirs," to the point where the staff members of the drama doubted that Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye were going out for real.
"As I said before, 'The Heirs' is a result of giving my hundred percent to the character Kim Tan. I was not Lee Min Ho but Kim Tan. After filming kiss scenes with Shin Hye, I could hear the staff members talk about us. One staff asked us, 'Are you guys actually going out?' I felt great when I heard that question. It made me think, 'I am doing this right.'"

My note: LMH is not the only costar who feels that working with Shinhye brought the best out of them while acting. YSY acknowledged it too. I feel its because Shinhye does not prep land or overthinks her role but responds appropriately and naturally to her costars while enacting the scene. This is where synergy effect comes in play and the scene seems real. The audience then gets drawn to the drama being watched in a way that it seems real. Maybe that's why and how shippers come into existence and also why people asked them if they were dating.
It's Shinhye moulding her act in response to her costars act that brings out the best in both. Their performance feeds on each other raising the bar of performance higher. This has not been the case only in the Heirs but in her previous dramas too due to which not only her costars but she herself could show their true potential as an artist. They all became even more popular than before.

That's what I was thinking too but after seeing them at the SBS AWARDS NIGHT I'M REALLY CONVINCED THAT THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON. it's just my intuition. Never seen PSH in that demeanor shy glances here and there and for LMH i don't really know how he interacts with his other leading ladies but boy were we in for a treat that night. I just think he's so obvious too…they can say whatever they want to say about each other but I really have a hunch that they are together. HAAAAAYYY PLS PLS PLS LET IT BE

@Maris, Oh my, even the staff was asking about them?!! That is something to say about the powerful chemistry this two had. I agree that PSH is so good at adapting to her co-stars that is why everyone is always pairing them together.

To this day, I look at the BTS scenes from YAB and get convinced they are made for each other, then I watched with YW in Heartstrings and think the same, now it is the Heirs. That kiss with LMH was just great and their interaction at the awards is very telling.

@EDig, I also agree, that they way the two of them acted is very suspicious. I have been watching every bts and video I can find with LMH and his other co-stars and I don't see the same chemistry that I see with PSH. I guess time will tell.

I think I was like you sisters. I think for the longest of time, I was a GeunShin shipper, then YongShin, and now MinHye. I am not monogamous at all! However, I have to say of all the guys, MH was the most gentlemanly and open about how he felt at the awards show despite so many of his fans witnessing it. In that respect, he is better at Jang Geun Suk. I remember watchin 2009 SBS Awards and I think we can agree that JGS seemed a bit cold towards SH when she won New Star. I know they hugged afterwards but MH hugged her during the show. YH has never given SH a hug but he has given her a bouquet twice, which is also very gentlemanly, but I am not sure now how much they keep in touch now. Therefore, MH wins! What a saw was sincere support and happiness from a "friend" that night to another friend. It really looked like MH was so proud of SH.

And SH's ability to adapt to her co-stars...I definitely think that is due to her years of experience of acting, which differentiates her from others who are new in the industry but still winning the big awards. She does indeed bring the best out of her male co-stars. All the males working with her have either become famous or become MORE famous.

Sis Mandy, i sure strongly hope MinHye, esp Minho wasn't just caught up in the moment. U know, u were so excited in that moment but after that nothing...zero..kaput

Sis Nzida: Well, I guess time can only tell. I can't comment further. I'll be devils' advocate for a moment here and say a lot of people thought him and Goo Hye Sun had something going on but that amounted to nothing. One can also say that the reason why he was not giddy at the 2009 KBS Awards Show when he won best couple could be 1.) it has been several months since BOF was broadcasted so he didn't feel that closeness anymore when the awards show came 2.) he was completely a newbie then and Goo Hye Sun was not so it might be a bit strange for newbie to hug a senior 3.) she was his noona so maybe he finds it weird to hug his noon. In SH's case, it was different in that 1.) Heirs just finished broadcasting so the "feeling" was still there 2.) He is now well-established in the industry so he feels like he has that right to give someone else a hug 3.) SH is younger than him so giving her a hug can be a sign of support from an oppa.

Don't throw tomatoes at me. I have been speculating whether it was spontaneous emotions he is feeling or something that's more earnest, and I still choose the latter. I do think his emotions stem from sincerity, and I do sincerely think he values his friendship with SHin Hye.

Thanks sis Mandy, and no worries, diff opinions are most welcomed. It's good to keep it real.

I also think he's actions were sincere. I mean, if it was just a show of support he could have just offered his arm instead of holding hands, or stood up and clap instead of hugging.

On the other hand, maybe because the filming just ended hence the "feelings" still lingered is something to ponder on. But still, in a formal event where it can be viewed not only in Korea but outside as well? Hmmm

@ sis nzida: That's why I was saying I was playing devil's advocate. I just don't want us sisters to get TOO worked up over it and then be disappointed in the end. I hope we just had fun watching the awards show. I certainly enjoyed it thoroughly and it is definitely the best awards show I have seen. I just hope for more future MinHye collaborations.

bts they look so close

[NEWS] Kim Woo Bin Says f(x)’s Krystal Felt More Like a Girl than Park Shin Hye Did


im Woo Bin confessed that unlike his character in the drama The Heirs, he didn’t have any feelings for Park Shin Hye.

January 7’s broadcast of MBC FM4U’s 2’O Clock Date featured Kim Woo Bin as the guest, who confessed “Out of Park Shin Hye, Krystal and Kim Ji Won, I was the most comfortable with Park Shin Hye. I don’t mean to say that she was like a guy, but she was very comfortable to be with.”

“Park Shin Hye was always full of energy, working hard and taking care of those around her. I felt like she was more of a co-worker than a woman,” continued the actor. “But once the filming started, I would see her as ‘Eun Sang.’”

DJ Park Kyung Rim asked, “Then who was the actress that was most like a girl to you?”

“All of the actresses made the male staff very happy, but Krystal was the most popular of them all. Many staff members stayed to watch her act, but when I was filming, they would leave to go use the bathroom,” added Kim Woo Bin with laughter.

Kim Woo Bin also said, “My ideal type out of f(x) is Krystal, because I know her. I’ve never met the other members.”
