Lee Min-ho gets into a car accident, escapes injury
by javabeans
Yikes, Lee Min-ho was recently involved in a mid-shoot car accident while working on his current (totally addicting and awesome) drama City Hunter.
On the one hand, that car looks pretty wrecked, as you can see below. The action scene being filmed took place in Ilsan, Kyeonggi-do, and those involved (including Lee) were taken to the emergency room right away.
On the other hand, Lee’s agency has confirmed that while he was evaluated for injury, he escaped serious harm. SBS’s CP Kim Young-sub stated, “With the car half totaled, we were worried, but fortunately his injuries weren’t severe. Aside from Lee Min-ho, there was another person riding in the car, a director from the production company who was injured and treated. Since safety comes first, we shut down filming and will focus on treating the injured parties.”
Kim added that the delay won’t affect the drama’s run, however: “We have a few scenes left to film, but we’ll possibly continue filming tomorrow, or will have to rely on other methods like editing.”
On the other hand (what, you don’t have three?), how is his Yoon-sung character back to driving a dark car? In the latest episode, he was driving a gray car, after his blue one got sideswiped (thanks to Daddy Dearest for that). Can he be on car number 3 already? And after this, they’ll have to find a way to explain moving on to car number 4, which, if they manage to work into the drama in a meta sort of way, could just be awesome. Maybe it could be part of his City Hunter shtick — new target, new car?
Then again, I suppose Yoon-sung’s car switches (and potential crashes) shouldn’t come as so much of a surprise, with all the mooning he does over Nana in that thing. C’mon — who else watched those bus-chasing scenes and yelled at their screens, “Eyes on the road, buddy”? No wonder he needed a designated driver. Maybe that should be his big excuse for keeping Nana around.

What happened to the car?? It's very weirdly wrecked. Maybe it just looks weird from that angle. That doesn't look like rear-ending damage though, it's like only the top part is squished.
Scary.

Lol I was analyzing it to. At first I thought something fell on it, but the front wouldn't be so crooked. He just must have hit something in front of him.
So my conclusion is, somebody take away his driver's license, it's to dangerous for him to drive!

I think he went under something. From the looks of it, the
chassis and the engine are still intact, it just the fender
and the hood that got scrapped so he must have gone
under a trailer truck or bus or something.
Take care, baby!

OMG!!! my heart literaly drop when I read this.... O_o I hope LMH and assistang Manager are totally fine and get to rest for a day. This is super scary.
But my question is why don't they have stunt people for certain scenes that are high risk, that needs to be done by professionals?...on the other hand I hope that the PD doesn't cut back on the action sequences for CH cause that is what is making this drama super duper awesome....
LMH my hubby take care and be safe...

When I read this I wa slike: "NOO D:"
But then again, it was bound to happen. I had a feeling at least SOMETHING would happen during the filming of this drama, I don't know why.
About the car-thing...well, he seems to have switched to a black one, but after this accident that's obviously not part of the drama-story...they do't have to make up a story for Yoon-sung siwtching cars again, you know?...They can just buy the same car again... xD
If they have the money, it's not that much of a deal...and who knows, maybe the black car was supposed to be Yoon-sung's last car, so they'd have to buy a new one anyway. ;)

That is one seriously messed-up car, but very lucky that the majority of the damage looks to be around the nose, instead of at the driver's (or passenger's) door. Still, I imagine everyone in the car is probably going to be aching a whole lot for the next week or two. Scary!

I was JUST talking about this with my friend (who might be a little more obsessed with LMH than is healthy) and we were both talking about the luck this guy has. He's got to have a guardian angel or something looking out for him because he's been in some type of accident in EVERY SINGLE DRAMA he's filmed. The poor guy shouldn't have even been in one piece after what happened during I am SAM...also a car accident. Maybe it's just Park Min Young. xP

I glad that LMH is doing well and recovering at home... my concern is that if he needs time to heal/recover that it will make the film production time tighter and this may affect the overall look of the drama.
Take Care MinHo and be healthy!

Glad to hear that nobody is seriously injured. Sounds like we are heading towards live shoot mode soon. I thought we have a 2 weeks head start. What happened to that?
As for the cars, I am sure Hyundai will be delighted to supply new cars each time to promote as many cars as possible.

when i first looked at this title i immediately thought of the number of car accidents that the cast of BOF where involved in! But glad that lee min ho escaped severe injury and the PD that was with him is also safe!

Whatever make of car that is, it is one solid and safe car. It did exactly what it was supposed to do, i.e. crumbled in a way that the car still protected the driver and passengers.
If the accident had to happen, it was a good thing that it happened in this car.

I'm so glad he's okay, but this boy has been in SO many car accidents. The 2006 one I think was the worst and left him with an iron rod in his thigh and knee. (I don't know if these were removed.) But from what I recall, because of that injury, he wasn't able to take on action roles he was offered back then. I believe that injury still affects him to this day, as someone astutely noticed that LMH runs a bit strangely in his running scenes for City Hunter.
If I was his mom, I wouldn't want him anywhere near cars, let alone let him drive one, or moreover let him film action scenes in one!
I don't understand why a stuntman wasn't in his place?
