Dec 05, 2024

tvN’s upcoming drama “When the Stars Gossip” has revealed a first look at Lee Min Ho’s character!

“When the Stars Gossip” will tell the unlikely love story of Commander Eve Kim (Gong Hyo Jin), who works at a zero-gravity space station, and Gong Ryong (Lee Min Ho), an unwelcome guest with a secret mission.

Lee Min Ho plays Gong Ryong, a gynecologist who visits the space station as a tourist. Gong Ryong is principled, determined, and exudes loyalty and confidence. He is also engaged to the heiress of South Korea’s top conglomerate, MZ Group. Shortly before his wedding, he embarks on an extravagant space tourism trip, spending an astronomical amount. However, what seems like a leisurely getaway conceals a secret mission that Gong Ryong cannot share with anyone.

In newly released images, Lee Min Ho transforms into Gong Ryong, captivating viewers as he takes on a high-stakes mission in space.

Describing his character, Lee Min Ho said, “He’s an ordinary person living a typical life but driven by beliefs and an intense focus on life that others might not understand. What stood out to me is his determination to complete any task given to him. His raw passion, honesty, and loyalty in life-and-death situations are expressed in an unrefined, authentic way.” Lee Min Ho described Gong Ryong’s core appeal in one word: “purity.”

Explaining his choice of “When the Stars Gossip” as his comeback project, Lee Min Ho said, “In today’s fast-paced world, the lines between what is good and what truly matters to humanity feel increasingly blurred. That’s why I was drawn to this story, set in the pure and mysterious vastness of space, where people come to appreciate the value of life.”
