Lee Min Ho planning marriage and kids soon? Actor reveals type of girlfriend he's looking for, 'Someone who...'
The interview was conducted as part of the promotional tour for his upcoming film Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy. But the conversation didn't stop at work. Instead, Lee Min Ho spoke about his personal life, his views on marriage and family. He revealed how his mindset has shifted as he enters the late thirties chapter of his life.
Lee Min Ho gets real about marriage
When asked directly about his views on marriage, the actor gave a simple yet thought-provoking answer: 'I should get married.' His candid remark was met with light laughter, but he went on to elaborate on the deeper meaning behind it.
He shared that as time passes, he finds himself reflecting more deeply on what truly matters in life. This growing awareness has gradually led him to value the idea of starting a family and having children. 'I naturally think about marriage as well,' he added.
However, he acknowledged that the path to finding a life partner hasn't been straightforward. 'But it doesn't work out as planned. I feel like a miracle has to happen,' he confessed. 'It's still vague, but if there comes a moment when I instinctively feel 'this is a miracle,' shouldn't I get married?'
What Lee Min Ho wants in a life partner
Lee Min Ho also addressed what he looks for in a partner and it's not about external perfection. He explained that his way of relating to people, including women, tends to differ from the norm. While he hasn't set any fixed criteria, he hinted that his choice would likely come down to meeting one of two key qualities that matter most to him.
Lee explained, 'Up until now, I think I've lived my life not thinking much of the small happiness, the happiness that comes from the small moments of everyday life.' Lee further added, 'So I think I'd rather be someone who lives by looking at small things. I feel like I have to find someone who can think about 'what we're moving forward for' together with me.'
Lee Min Ho shared that he envisions his ideal partner as someone with a personality quite unlike his own. He added that their profession doesn't matter to him, whether they're in the same industry or not isn't a deciding factor.

‘Kim Taehyung makes me feel I can't afford…': BLACKPINK's choreographer reveals how working with BTS' V changed her
Street Woman Fighter dancer LeeJung Lee couldn't stop gushing about BTS member V after the two collaborated for a viral dance challenge. The professional dancer and choreographer appeared for an interview at a café in Yongsan, Seoul, on July 24 to talk about her upcoming projects and her participation in Mnet's World Championship, including her recent creative gig on the animated film K-Pop: Demon Hunters. Lee described V as someone who, despite not being a dancer by profession, completely changed the way she looked at her career. Also read: BTS' RM and Jungkook admit Kim Taehyung has changed: 'We can't keep up anymore, he's stronger' For Lee, who has choreographed BLACKPINK and TWICE, dance is more than just a job. When asked about her viral dance clip with the Dynamite crooner, Lee said, 'He's someone I genuinely look up to, a true role model for me.' She revealed meeting V through dance, adding, 'He loves dance just as much as I do, and that creates a real connection between us. We have great synergy when we meet.' The 26-year-old described dance as her profession, something she fully immerses herself in, with no space for slip-ups. But for Taehyung, it's just one part of what he does. 'He also has to sing and do many other things, yet he still genuinely loves dance as much as I do. And he's really humble and works even harder than I do,' she said, before adding, 'Watching him makes me feel like I can't afford to make compromises. If he works that hard, then since it's my profession, I have to work even harder. He's someone who gives me tremendous energy.'

Leejung was part of Team Korea Bumsup in World of Street Woman Fighter, which wrapped up its run on Friday. The reality show was the third part of the popular franchise that started back in 2021 and since has had several spin-offs, including Street Dance Girls Fighter (2021–23) and Street Man Fighter (2022). 'Through the show, I came to realise once again how incredible it is to have so many people watching, not just for entertainment, but to really engage in conversations about dance and what makes a great piece. That alone felt like a dream. Honestly, it feels like a miracle,' Lee said during the interview, via Korea JoongAng Daily. The young dancer recently expanded her hustle to animation with Netflix hit movie K-pop: Demon Hunters, where she choreographed HUNTR/X's 'How It's Done' and Saja Boys' 'Soda Pop.'

Lee Min Ho's Omniscient Reader: The Prophet live action slammed by fans for 'butchering' webtoon: 'It'll give you brain damage'
Omniscient Reader: The Prophet, the much-awaited live-action adaptation of the hit web novel Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, premiered in South Korea on July 23. Directed by Kim Byung-woo and based on the best-selling story by Sing Shong, the film stars a powerhouse cast, including Lee Min Ho, Ahn Hyo Seop, Chae Soo Bin, Shin Seung Ho, Nana, and BLACKPINK's Jisoo. With a fan-favourite story and some of the industry's most popular names attached, many hoped this would finally be the live-action adaptation that did justice to the source material. Unfortunately, early viewer reactions, particularly from the fans of the webtoon, suggest otherwise. What is Omniscient Reader: The Prophet about? The film follows Kim Dokja (played by Lee Min Ho), a seemingly ordinary man who finds himself living inside the world of a web novel he's been reading for years. In a world where readers become players and scenarios determine survival, Dokja must use his knowledge of the novel to outsmart deadly challenges and navigate a universe controlled by godlike constellations. It's a story of survival, fate, and morality, packed with twists and layered characters. On paper, it sounds like a thrilling cinematic experience. But fans of the original material are feeling let down by how it was adapted for the big screen. Fans of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint react: They butchered it (Spoilers Ahead!) The film's release triggered a flood of reactions online, especially from long-time readers of the original web novel. The Reddit community dedicated to Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint has now become a space where fans are voicing their frustration, disappointment, and confusion over the film's many unexpected changes. One Reddit user wrote a detailed review of the live adaptation, writing, 'They butchered it. So bad it will give you brain damage from watching it. All your fears about live action? Justified.' The user also pointed out major character shifts. Dokja, originally portrayed as cunning and morally grey, is now just a 'nice guy.' His manipulative streak, a key part of his arc, is completely erased. The list of missing elements from the source material is long, as shared by the fan, who said, no omniscient reader's viewpoint ability, no fourth wall, and no bookmark skill. They also noticed missing characters and lore, oversimplified plotlines, and a final boss battle that felt completely off-tone. 'I don't think the director even read the source material,' the viewer wrote. 'He missed the point and somehow turned the central theme into teamwork.' Another Redditor said, 'They made it extremely short, ending it by the third scenario. I expected at least the Theatre Dungeon. This isn't it.' Multiple viewers expressed their frustration at the film ignoring iconic moments, changing character dynamics, and turning deep lore into a more surface-level fantasy flick. Some even questioned how much of the original story was actually read by the creators. Global release dates for Omniscient Reader: The Prophet Despite the backlash, the movie is now on track for international rollouts. Here's when you can catch Omniscient Reader: The Prophet in your country: July 30 – Indonesia July 31 – Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand August 1 – United States, Canada, Vietnam If you're planning to watch, you may want to go in with lowered expectations, especially if you're a long-time fan of the web novel. While the visuals and cast performances might be worth the watch, just be prepared for a version of Omniscient Reader that takes its own path.
