Career.
Acting.
After honing his acting in one-act dramas, Lee Min-ki first gained popularity on television in romantic comedies "Love Truly" (2006) and "Dal-ja's Spring" (2007). He then starred in the quirky low-rated cult series "Evasive Inquiry Agency" (2007) and alternated mainstream films with indies such as "Oishii Man" (2009). He gained favorable notices for his supporting roles in the thriller "A Million" as a hot-tempered Marine-turned-janitor who finds himself involved in a survival reality show; and the disaster film "Tidal Wave", in which he plays a lifeguard who makes a heartbreaking sacrifice when a fictional tsunami hits the Korean beach town of Haeundae.
Lee then solidified his bona fide movie star status with his leading roles in the action film "Quick" and romantic comedy "Spellbound".
