Lee Min-ho to Return to Philippines to Study English
02/27/2015 – Manila | The popular South Korean Actor Lee Min-ho said he want to stay in Philippines to learn English. Lee arrived in Manila on Tuesday, February 24 to meet his fans, but police and other passengers didn’t like the scene when the crowd caused delays.
In a series of interviews with different media personalities and reporters, Lee only speaks Korean with the help of an interpreter.
“Last time I was here, I was very, very touched by the fans, so immediately I thought, I wanted to come back. I’m very happy to be back. It hasn’t even been a year, but I’m very happy to be back,” Lee said when asked by ABS-CBN if how he feel on his return to the Philippines.
Several years ago, Filipino netizens were outraged over the comment of another Korean Actress Lee Da-hae about the Filipino English, but the actress later apologized for misunderstanding.
Lee Min-ho admitted that he can’t speak English but can only understand.
Fans turned crazy when he said he will be returning to Philippines to study English in the very near future.
It was reported earlier that the actor was obsessed with a Boracay hotel girl but he did not give any comment when the issue was mentioned in one of his interviews.
The Philippines according to Forbes is the “world’s best budget English teacher” due to its cheap lessons and convincing US accent.
Most South Korean celebrities have difficulties in speaking English, and others can’t speak at all, except for those were born or have studied abroad.
There are already around 100,000 South Koreans in the country who are studying English and Lee Min-ho wanted to be a part of the group.
