Lee Min Ho "received criticism" just because of his shocking actions on his birthday!

Lee Min Ho was unexpectedly harshly criticized by both the media and the public for "innocently" showin.g of.f his birthday present. What turned the happy day into a "disaster", pushing him into the eye of the storm of "backwardness" and "waste" amid the new trend of Korean showbiz?

Every year, on Lee Min Ho's birthday, he makes his fans and the public admire him when he shares pictures of his room filled with cakes, flowers and valuable gifts from all over the world. This year, at the age of 38 and having been acting for 19 years, he continues to affirm his class and influence when receiving countless gifts.

However, surprisingly, the public reaction this year was not positive, and even turned into a wave of harsh condemnation. TenAsia, one of Korea's most prestigious news sites, has openly condemned Lee Min Ho's actions. The site quoted a series of angry comments from Korean netizens. Although a few believed that Lee Min Ho posted the photo to express gratitude, the majority believed that the culture of giving gifts to artists has become outdated and no longer suitable for the current social context.

Comments such as, "It wouldn't be strange if Lee Min Ho stopped accepting gifts and only accepted the hearts of fans", "These days, stars limit accepting gifts and encourage charitable donations, but Lee Min Ho still seems to think that receiving gifts is natural", or even someone said, "It seems like he wants them to do it next year too", showed a negative reaction and deep disappointment from the public.

While Lee Min Ho is still "carefree" showin.g of.f his overflowing birthday gifts, TenAsia has pointed out the stark contrast with the general trend of today's top stars. Times have changed, many artists choose to refuse gifts and encourage fans to donate to charity as a more civilized and meaningful gesture.

A typical example is G-Dragon, who caused a stir when he donated 1.5 billion VND to refugees on his birthday. Or Park Bo Gum also cleverly refused gifts, affirming that "the heart is more important than the gift".

These actions put Lee Min Ho in a difficult position, making him the center of attention when he seemed to still have an "old" mindset and missed the opportunity to build a better image in the public eye. While Lee Min Ho was being criticized for accepting birthday gifts, Gong Hyo Jin, his co-star in Ask the Stars, made a shocking move in 2022, firmly refusing all gifts from her fans, hoping to receive "warm congratulations".

The reason she gave for this action was to "directly" target a painfu.l issue: "The amount of carbon emissions from gift giving, uneaten cakes, and packaging materials all make me feel awkward. They are very wasteful." In the context of the entertainment industry changing strongly, prioritizing spiritual and charitable values instead of material gifts, Lee Min Ho's constant "showin.g of.f huge gifts" from fans suddenly became a "ho.t spot" causing fierce controversy. The public believes that this action is no longer suitable for the times.

Many netizens expressed their extreme regret, even harshly demanding: "It would be great if he encouraged fans to donate instead of giving gifts." They affirmed: "He is a star who is loved enough even without receiving gifts, so I don't understand why he insists on receiving gifts every year."

This shows that the enormous pressure is weighing on Lee Min Ho, forcing him to reconsider his behavior to avoid being "boycotted" by the public. This newspaper emphasized that although it is difficult to define what is absolutely "right and wrong", if Lee Min Ho really wants to repay his fans' love, he does not necessarily have to do it through photos filled with gifts.

The newspaper emphasized that although it cannot be said that anything is completely right or wrong, if Lee Min Ho wants to respond to the love of his fans, he can do it in more meaningful ways than just through photos showin.g of.f gifts. On the eve of his 20-year career milestone, TenAsia recommends that Lee Min Ho should seriously think about changing so that he can receive the love of his fans in a healthier and more modern way.
