Lee Minwoo is a member of the popular group Shinhwa, and is also active as a successful soloist with the name M. Out of all the peer entertainers I’ve encountered, he stands out as the bravest star when dealing with the issue of gossiping behind people’s backs, leaving a deep impression on my mind.
I occasionally attend his concerts upon his invitation. Having not yet turned 30, Minwoo’s attitude towards those who are slightly larger in age is notable. From the dancers, to the band members who are with him during every public performance, to those colleagues who come to watch the shows, to his parents, he always makes sure he greets everyone thoroughly. He looks very content while paying his respects—it’s a beautiful sight, and through this he undoubtedly forges new relationships.
One of his strengths is the fact that he’s not easily given to gossiping; he doesn’t take pleasure from such acts.
When there’s a gathering for someone’s birthday, one will surely sit with a group of close friends, and naturally, someone will eventually bring up and start passing judgments on the private lives of entertainers who they don’t know personally. Since the content of the topic is very interesting and the person in question is not present, I would listen in with interest, but I know that Minwoo, witnessing this situation, would make one of two choices.
In the case that he is unfamiliar with the person being talked about, to avoid embarrassment for the individual, he will quickly try to change the topic. If the person being discussed is someone he is actually close with or has had associations with, he will immediately put an end to the conversation, displaying forth a manner that naturally halts all talk.
“I’m very close with that person, don’t talk behind his back!” To be able to say something like that is really a skill to learn.
But in this way he would often become mad, sometimes putting an end to the gossip with much anger. This is when the subject of gossip is a Shinhwa member.
As shown on a show not long ago, similar to the contents of the text messages (note: Eric’s texts in Jipijigi), normally the members would joke around with each other saying “Eric, go away, Hyesung, I’m not playing with you, Andy pabo (fool)” and other mean phrases. However, if it’s not said by one of the members, but someone outside the group talking about one of the members behind that member’s back, Minwoo’s entire face would darken, even to the extent that he would rise from his seat in anger.
Singer Lee Minwoo has grown up and matured, and it’s not by chance or luck that he became a popular singer/entertainer.
