Pimp Post: Lee Min Woo.
Happy 29th, Minbong! ^^ Keep the passion for music burning! Most importantly, be healthy and happy. =)
partone: MUSIC. It's first, 'cos that's what M is all about. *beams* Minwoo is good both as part of Shinhwa and as a solo singer. He plays the piano and composes quite a lot of songs, for Shinhwa, himself, or other singers. He looks best when he's on stage. And one more thing. erm. For the LIVEs, beware of the sex. Seriously.
I'll list all of his songs that I rated 5 stars. ^^

I don't like this album as much as the rest, but there are quite a few nice songs in it. And apparently Just One Night caused fans to be angered 'cos his image was "too sexy", lol.

parttwo: PICTURES. Minwoo may not be have the best-looking face in Shinhwa, but he's definitely the most stylish one, which explains why he looks good in anything - he knows what looks good on him. ^^ I'm not even going to talk about him shirtless. xPP
(I've been waiting to do a picspam for a long long time lol.)

partthree: VIDEOS. He's sexy and hot when performing, period. But other times he's so cute, too, you can just die from his aegyo. And he's so hyper when he's with the Shinhwa members. xP
First, dancing! 8D The best part of Minwoo's dancing is how much he seems to love dancing and enjoy himself on stage. His dance is always creative and entertaining. He doesn't just show off his technique; he flirts with the audience and basically just makes his performances fun to watch. His dance has this natural feeling to it, like he doesn't choose the music to suit his dance but just moves his body to suit the music. And he makes complicated dance moves look easy for him. So I won't say much and just link you the videos. =D
Dancing cuts (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12) -- hahaha this is just textbook HOT. xDD Some of them are funny too. xD
Dance battle - Minwoo+Junjin vs Se7en+Wheesung -- Junjin's robot dance is cool. Minwoo is hot as always. And Se7en is a freakin' good dancer too, in case you didn't know.
Dance battle vs Jang Woo Hyuk -- Showdown of two of Korea's best dancers! Woohyuk won. But they have different styles - Woohyuk focuses more on technique while Minwoo focuses more on what the crowd wants. Woohyuk's stronger in terms of technique, but Minwoo's dance is more entertaining. Both are hella good dancers. ^^
Dancing on Xman featuring Jang Woo Hyuk -- How I wish I was the girl, lol. Cool outfit, freakin' good techniques. We can't really tell from his performance, but Minwoo injured his leg in this. He was professional and danced till the end, though. =)
Various dancing cuts with JWH (1 2 3) -- Because Minwoo+Woohyuk= the dancing duo! 8D What do I call them, woosquare? xPP
Gayo Show rehearsal -- Love the outfit. And of course the dancing.
Manwon Happiness cuts:
Brian cut -- Minwoo imitated Hwanhee a bit, sounding really similar to the original. Brian sold a piece of food to Minwoo for 50 won.
Hwanhee cut -- In the beginning the Shinhwa members tried to help Minwoo complete his mission (getting the machine thing to vibrate more), then Minjin imitated Hwanhee singing, and then Minwoo got Hwanhee to help by getting him to run and sticking the machine to Hwanhee's throat while he sang. Hwanhee looked eager to help; he's cute. xP
Hyesung cut -- Shinhwa was in the dance studio; at first Minwoo got them to guess a word for his mission, then there was some Minjin (cute!!), and then Minwoo started dancing to a children's song and suddenly the rest of Shinhwa joined in. They're all so cute and noisy, lol. In the end the other members did "JoJungRin hwaiting!" but Eric did "Minwoo hwaiting!" and made the heart sign, so Dongwan pushed him away. xD
vs Boom (1 2) -- In the beginning Minwoo went to the rooftop to eat the fruits that he 'planted', so cute lmao. But of course he couldn't get away with it and was fined 700 won. Then Minwoo got a mission to"win in a game", and Hyesung was there in the room watching his own performance in television, so Minwoo pulled the plug to get his attention lol. The smart Hyesung knew that it was a mission straight away. Minwoo then got Hyesung to play the palm-pushing game, but he lost and ended up falling on Hyesung, and Minsyung hug! lol. They did "Boom hwaiting!" at the end, haha. Hyesung is pretty, by the way. xP Then it shows Boom's mission, and he got Younha to guess a movie title, which she did, and then she sang a little. (girlcrush!) Then Minwoo got a mission again and Kangin and Brian showed up. Brian cracked some lame jokes, haha. Boom then collected leftover food from Suju's 2nd anniversary party. In the end Minwoo passed the Manwon bag to Crown J.
miscellaneous clips:
Minwoo Hidden Camera -- This is a MUST-WATCH. Basically HyeWon, a very pretty MC, confessed her love to Minwoo, and we see how he reacted. Andy was there too. In the beginning HW gave a mesh shirt to Minwoo, and asked him to try it on. So he did. Then HW started confessing hat she's liked Minwoo since Shinhwa came out, but Minwoo kept thinking about the 8-years age difference lol. They then exchanged phone numbers and HW asked him to go out with her after she gets to college, and gave him her necklace as a token of the promise, so he gave her a jacket. Back to the going out question, he said that he can go out with her if her feelings for him grow or if she fell in love with him. And when she asked him to promise, he said, "I can promise, but until then, let's not change", which I thought was really sweet. HW then called her mum and told her that she was gonna go out with Minwoo, lol. Then Andy came back into the room and HW left. Minwoo said,"It was so awkward I thought I was going to die." LOL! When Andy asked, he said that HW is nice and kind, and when Andy told him to go out with her, Minwoo said, "Ey.. A man can't go out with someone that easily. Am I you?" ROFL. HW then sms-ed him, revealing the hidden camera. haha. Minwoo is a nice guy! =)
Minwoo house tour -- I remember watching this with clear subs before but I guess it got removed, so I can just link you to one with blurry subs. =( They visited Minwoo's house, and it was surprisingly empty, there's little food or furniture. Minwoo is just really adorable throughout. I think it wasn't long after Shinhwa lived separately; he seemed lonely without the members and seemed to miss them a lot, especially Eric. You get to see his extensive wardrobe, proof of his good style. =) Then he had rehearsal with the other Shinhwa members; Dongwan was being a dork (as usual lmao), Andy sweating a lot after practice, the usual playing around (well, they're all dorks xD) and Minwoo giving Junjin a sweater which can be worn inside out too (cool!).
EDIT: The one with clear subs is here from 3:20 onwards; thanks to beckery @ wordpress for the link! =)
Minwoo and JWH acting JWH's first kiss -- This is HILARIOUS. Apparently they lost some game so this is the punishment. Minwoo acted as Woohyuk's girlfriend, and he acted so girly (but not gay), it was SO CUTE! (He can pass off as a girl hahaha.) In the beginning Minwoo smoothed his hair and started acting feminine, then when Woohyuk said that his girlfriend was a daring type, he acted accordingly lol. Woohyuk looks lost haha! Minwoo is such a good sport. =)
Minwoo and JWH acting old -- A cut from Loveletter, I watched this episode with subs before I think; if I'm not wrong Bae Seul Gi requested them to act what they would say to her after they grow old together. Very cute! Minwoo break-danced and Woohyuk did his robot dance too. ^^
090707 St Shindongyub SBSU Minwoo cut -- I can't read the small Chinese subs, but the main point of this video is that Minwoo is so good with his tounge, LOL. xDD
Romance Dangyunhaji with Chae Yeon -- The usual mushy exchanges, and Minwoo sang Girlfriend for her. Look at Hwanhee's expression at the back; hilarious ROFL. Minwoo lost when ChaeYeon said, "I don't like easy love." haha.
Chae Yeon Star Scope Minwoo cut -- Chae Yeon and Minwoo met at the gym, and they joked around. Minwoo talked about how Chae Yeon seems to glow when she's exercising (..I need to exercise loll xP), and at the end Chae Yeon talked about his abs. They're quite cute together, actually. ^^
Brain Survivor Minwoo cut -- In the beginning Minwoo, then Eric and Minwoo did beatboxing. Then there is the usual Shinhwa playing around (they coordinated their every action, lol), and there was talk about how Minwoo changes when drunk. It's funny how Minwoo said he can't remember anything, and Dongwan recalled how Minwoo told him, "I really treasure you" when he was drunk, lmao. (WOODONG! xD)
Minwoo prank -- Minwoo dressed up and acted as an old woman, and asked some random guy to piggyback him to some place. He looked and sound funny, lol. But poor guy, must have been heavy. The best part is the ending, though, where Minwoo asked the guy to put him down, stood up and ran away, doing summersaults. DORK. xDD
Going crazy in the car -- The title says it all. It's about 1:30 into the video; I think he was on high. xP I love how nice he is to his fans. There's some Jinsyung and Ricwan being dorks at the end too. ^^
Acting Being cute (1 2 3 4 5) -- Minwoo is naturally cute without needing to act, when he does act cute, it's.. really really cute. xP
Fan-made videos (1 2 3) -- These fans really know which clips to use. 8D
partfour: ACTING. So far Minwoo has acted in Nonstop 5 and the movie Holy Daddy, but that's about it. I actually think that he has potential in acting, and will do well if he continues acting. But he's very busy being a singer alone, so that's kinda difficult, I guess.
Nonstop 5 episode 252 -- I haven't watched all the Nonstop 5 episodes, but I did watch a few and I really really like this one. Basically JungRin liked KyungJoon, but KyungJoon rejected her before (even though he liked her too), so she wanted to get over him and pretended to date Minwoo, who was their mutual friend. Tablo and HanHyoJoo are so cute too; Tablo was holding a birthday party for her, but everyone kept getting distracted by JungRin's love triangle, lol. (Tablo is so cute lmao.) Anyway, initially Minwoo said he'd help JungRin get together with KyungJoon, but apparently he liked her too, so he was torn between his feelings and JungRin's feelings towards KyungJoon. He took her on a date (he was so cute teasing her haha), but in the end helped them get together. I almost cried for Minwoo. T.T
Holy Daddy - A movie starring Minwoo and Haha. Wontak (Minwoo) had a bad relationship with his father, YoungGu. When YoungGu died, he asked an angel (crazy angel lmao) to be given a chance to be Wontak's best friend, even for an instance, so he was rebirth into Wontak's classmate, DongHoon (Haha). I think this movie is really underrated. I enjoyed this movie a lot; it is a really touching story about a father and his son. A lot of funny and cute moments too; Haha is hilarious as the out-of-place student, and Minwoo is hot as a hooligan. Haha got beaten up a lot in this, poor him! He did a really good job, though. Minwoo too. ^^
