Lee Min Ho prepares swimmer's body for 'City Hunter'

"Boys Over Flowers’s" star Lee Min Ho is furiously training in swimming for his upcoming action drama “City Hunter”. The actor has reportedly been taking swimming lessons everyday in a hotel in Kangnam. This focus on swimming is refreshing for the actor who famously played Gu Jun Pyo, a character afraid of water in "Boys Over Flowers."

Lee Min Ho gained a strong fan following for his ability to play romantic leads that fascinate women. His breakthrough role in "Boys Over Flowers" won him many hearts which only increased after he essayed the role of proud architect Jeon Jin Ho in "Personal Taste." In his latest drama project, Lee Min Ho gets to present his more masculine side as he plays the role of Dr. Lee Yoon Sung, an MIT graduate and international communications expert at the Blue House who works with a female bodyguard. Actress Park Min Young has been confirmed for the role of the sexy bodyguard Kim Nana.

Aside from preparing a swimmer's body for his new drama, Lee Min Ho has also been training in martial arts and other action techniques. His committed preparation coupled with his lean physique will surely excite fans who are already anticipating the action and swimming scenes in City Hunter. The drama is set to show its first episode on May 25 via the SBS channel.
