Lee Min-ho was born on June 22, 1987, in Heukseok-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul in South Korea.
Since childhood he aspired to become a professional footballer. His talent and energy saw him getting selected in the youth football class of South Korean football manager and former player, Cha Bum-Kun. However, after suffering an injury while in the 5th grade of elementary school, he was forced to change his mind.
He then took interest in acting which took a serious shape while he was in second year of high school and by the time he was in his senior year he signed with ‘Starhaus Entertainment’.

After recovery, Lee landed up with his first starring role of Cha Gong-chan in the SBS high-school sitcom ‘Mackerel Run’ (2007). Although the series was slated for 24 episodes, the low viewership ratings forced it off air after 8 episodes.
Working on TV productions like ‘I Am Sam’ (2007) and ‘Get Up’ (2008), Lee forayed into films. He played Jung Ha-yeon in the sequel of ‘Public enemy’ (2002) and ‘Another Public Enemy’ (2005) titled ‘Public Enemy Returns’ starring Sol Kyung-gu and Jung Jae-young. The film released on June 19, 2008.
