Although he wore the high school uniform again, there was no Goo Joon Pyo. He said, "When I played Goo Joon Pyo in 'Boys Over Flowers' in 2009, I decided on even the direction of my eyes and my fingers. But playing Kim Tan was different. I put everything down every time I acted him. Instead of forming the character, I was faithful to the script. I worried in the beginning, but I quickly gained confidence."

In addition to the acting style, his perception of the acting life changed in 2013, Lee Min Ho says.

Lee Min Ho said he wants to set the prototype of a concert type fan meeting.

"In fact, before, I did not like singing. But I feel that it is unavoidable now, and I want to do my best at it. I want to set the prototype my fan meetings for the fans to think that, 'Lee Min Ho's performances are like this.'"

Lee Min Ho said all of the reasons for this is for the fans.

"At every acting awards ceremony, I said the reason of my existence is my fans. This is not just an expression. The confidence I have comes from my fans. So I cannot help but put my best effort into everything. I want to give back for the love I am currently receiving, and I want to become better at the things the fans like."
