Kapanlagi.com - The wait for fans of Lee Min Ho is finally over. After waiting for their idol to complete his mandatory military service, they can finally watch Lee Min Ho's acting again. Yes, the drama The King: Eternal Monarch that he stars in will start airing on Friday night (17/4/2020) on SBS. This drama can also be watched on Netflix.

Just like other dramas before they air, The King: Eternal Monarch also held a press conference for the cast beforehand. Lee Min Ho and his co-stars held a press conference on Thursday (16/4/2020).

During the event, the 33-year-old actor answered several questions posed to him, including the reasons why he is willing to act in The King: Eternal Monarch. Lee Min Ho gave 3 reasons!

1. First and Second Reasons

The King: Eternal Monarch is Lee Min Ho's first drama after completing his military service. The actor finds Lee Gon's character, who is an emperor with all his problems, intriguing.

"The first thing that caught my interest is his role as an emperor, when else can I become an emperor? And then, the energy and power possessed by the character Lee Gon," said Lee Min Ho.

2. Third Reason

The last reason is because the drama The King: Eternal Monarch is written by Kim Eun Sook, who is known for the success of Secret Garden, Descendants of the Sun, Goblin, and Mr. Sunshine. Lee Min Ho and Kim Eun Sook have previously worked together in the drama The Heirs.

"Third, because I was personally contacted by Kim Eun Sook, and instead of being offered a role in my twenties, I got a more mature role, a man who is already an adult. I believe in the script written by Kim Eun Sook. Those are all the reasons why I chose this role," he explained.
