If you're a longtime K-drama fan, it wouldn't be surprising to know that your foray into Korean entertainment was with a series starring Lee Min Ho.
The 37-year-old is arguably the most recognisable Korean actor in the world right now, even in India.
His filmography features cult classics like Boys Over Flowers, The Heirs and The Legend of the Blue Sea, while his more recent works are The King: Eternal Monarch and Pachinko.
Lee Min Ho is currently headlining When the Stars Gossip, South Korea's first space rom-com K-drama.
The tvN series — which you can watch on Netflix in India — marks Min Ho's first on-screen collaboration with Gong Hyo Jin, while the storyline is centred on an epic romance between a space tourist and a commander, who travel into space together.
Given Lee Min Ho's longevity as a bankable K-drama actor, the Hallyu star has amassed significant wealth which has further led to a strong real estate portfolio.
Lee — who has a whopping net worth of $26 million (approximately Rs 223 crore), according to Lifestyle Asia and publicly available sources — currently resides in Seoul, and is the proud owner of two sprawling villas located in Seongbuk-dong.

Lee Min Ho's residence is located in the upscale district of Seongbuk-dong, nestled in the foothills of the mountains while giving a gorgeous view of the Seoul skyline.
Interestingly, the prestigious neighbourhood has a royal connection as many homes from the Joseon dynasty were located there.
Min Ho is currently neighbours with celebrity couple Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da Hee, while the locality also houses many politicians, leaders of Korea's conglomerates and amabassadors.
A glimpse at Lee Min Ho's lavish abode reveals how the actor prefers minimalism when it comes to the interiors.
His modern home interlaces marble materials with mostly neutral colours while the floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to illuminate the living area.
Min Ho also showed off his massive closet, which is dominated by grey undertones. The similar interiors even roll out to his white-grey scale bedroom.
Besides his two extravagant villas in Seongbuk-dong, Lee Min Ho also owns a nine-storey building in Nonhyeon, Gangnam.
According to Tatler Asia, the spacious property — featuring a gym, theatre and party room — is worth over $2 million (approximately Rs 17 crore).
Lee Min Ho also owns an apartment in Mark Hills, a luxury condominium development in Heukseok-dong, which is a personal favourite of South Korea's elite including celebrities such as Krystal, Kim Yuna, Jang Dong Gun and Ko So Young.
Notably, Hyun Bin formerly owned an apartment in Mark Hills, before moving into his marital home with Son Ye Jin.
