During the interview portion, he talked about his immense popularity in China.  He was asked, "You are very popular in China to the point people call you a god.  In your opinion, what's the secret to your popularity?"

He relied, "The strength of Korean dramas.  They sent me a lot of love to the characters in dramas 'Boys Over Flowers,' 'City Hunter,' and 'Heirs.'  I think it's the power of Korean dramas.  Also, I think I spread the name Lee Min Ho while often communicating with the fans on-site starting three years ago."
