Susie Korea. Lee Min Ho and Suzy: A Love Story

Korean actress Suzy, whose biography will be described below, is unlikely to become famous for her role as Anna Karenina or Lady Macbeth, but in her niche she is a real superstar. For some unknown reason, Japanese and Korean dramas, as well as K-pop and J-pop groups, are gaining more and more popularity all over the world, and Korean Bae Su-ji represents precisely this trend of modern subculture.

Girl from Gwangju

Suzy's biography is an example of the story of an ordinary girl who, through hard work on herself and diligence, achieved great heights in her chosen business. She was born in 1994 in the city of Gwangju, in Bae Su-ji, who became the second child of Bei Wang and Yun Jin. Suzy has an older sister, Soo Bin, and a younger brother, Sang Moon.

The girl's parents owned a small business, which allowed them to stay afloat and raise three children, but the funds were not enough to provide them with a life of luxury. The small diner, where the future Korean actress Suzy spent a lot of time as a child, later became a real place of pilgrimage for numerous fans of the girl’s talent.

After becoming famous, she invested money in the family business and turned the tiny eatery into a trendy cafe named after her. In this way, Bae Suu-ji thanked her parents for the care and love they gave her as a child.

Suu Kyi is on her way to success

Even before she became a famous Korean actress, Suzy, the daughter of a diner owner, amazed those around her with her musical and dancing abilities. She sang beautifully, had a great sense of rhythm and melody, and dreamed of becoming a star on the Korean stage. Friends and relatives advised the modest girl to try her hand at one of the local talent shows, the purpose of which was to develop new local pop stars.

For a long time Bae Suu-ji did not dare to leave the cozy home of her parents, but she still took a risk and in 2009 she went to audition for the show Superstar K - a kind of Korean analogue of the Russian “Star Factories”. For the first time, Pe found herself in the company of girls as bright and talented as she was, and she was terribly worried. Suu Kyi successfully passed the qualifying round, but was eliminated at the next stage of the competition.

However, she managed to attract the attention of JYP Entertainment managers, who appreciated the appearance of the Gwangju native and her vocal abilities. The girl became an official trainee of JYP Entertainment and went to a kind of training camp for this production company.

K-pop star

The bigwigs of Korean show business have long treated their business as a well-established industrial production, the automation of which is approaching one hundred percent.

Just as the managers of football clubs do not recruit new Messis and Ronaldos on the streets, so the producers of girl and boy pop groups select suitable boys and girls for their training camps in advance, after which they systematically and methodically educate them from still raw semi-finished products in which the fire has not yet gone out. a spark of individuality, true K-pop benchmarks.

The same fate befell Suu Kyi, who was given the pseudonym Susie and began to prepare for her appearance on stage. In 2010, the girl pop group Miss A was formed, whose members, in addition to Suzy, were Fei, Zhia and Min. Suzy got the role of the main girl and the first voice of the group.

To kick things off, the first mini-album Bad but Good was released, followed by a series of performances around South Korea. The new characters were liked by the public, and Susie became a frequent guest on numerous local TV shows.

Breakthrough on TV

Having won the status of a pop idol, the girl from Gwangju set out to conquer new heights. According to all the canons of the Korean entertainment industry, she has become a sought-after and desired character for producers of dramas - oriental soap operas. The first appearance of the Korean actress Suzy on the television screens of the Land of Morning Freshness took place in January 2011 in the series “Dream High”.

Here, Bae Soo Ji played the role of Ko Hye Mi, an irritable and bitchy art school student. The image of the on-screen heroine was diametrically opposed to the character of the sweet and modest Susie, which immediately caught the eye of even the most inexperienced drama fans. The series, which tells about teenagers pursuing their dreams through the difficulties and problems of adolescence, instantly became a hit, but the aspiring Korean actress Suzy herself received a barrage of criticism for her unconvincing performance.

The girl herself later admitted that she never wanted to be an actress and only after much persuasion she decided on this experience. Susie also agreed that it was difficult for her to bring the character of Ko Hye Mi to life, since she had difficulty understanding her motives, desires, and problems.

However, the Miss A star dutifully set to work and gradually turned the situation around, earning her the award for Best Newcomer Drama Actress.

Release on big screens

In 2012, the filmography of the Korean actress Suzy was supplemented with her first full-length film. Her debut on the big screen was her role in the film “Introduction to Architecture.” Here the girl appeared in the image of the main character of the film So Yeon in her youth.

The romantic drama told the story of a love story that began between students at an architecture academy and ended abruptly, before resuming years later. Handkerchiefs for sensitive Korean women were sold out with a bang in all cinemas, which were drowning in floods of tears. The timeless story of first love became a local mega-hit and earned Korean actress Suzy several more awards. She was recognized as the best new actress on the big screen, the “hot” newcomer, the “icon of undying first love” and other exotic Korean epithets.

Star

It's hard to find a more popular entertainment character in South Korea than the actor. Bae Suzy became a local idol, her phones were ringing off the hook with offers from television producers. The next stage in the girl’s career was the series “Bolshoi”.

The mystical plot revolving around the story of the transmigration of souls riveted every tenth Korean to the screens, who did not look away from the adventures of the main characters throughout the entire series. Susie herself played the role of the femme fatale - the sweetest and most dangerous Chan Ma Ri.

In between filming, Bae Suu-ji continues to collaborate with the group Miss A, whose popularity has only increased after the acting exploits of the main soloist. Having won the hearts of Koreans, the lovely girls went to neighboring China, where they gave a whole series of performances for the local public, presenting their new album.

Personal life

The relationship between the Korean actress Suzy and Lee Min Ho, her acting colleague, was the main topic for the gossip sections of all local yellow publications. In 2015, the agents of both artists officially confirmed the connection between the stars.

However, nothing lasts forever, and the beautiful story ended quite quickly. Not long ago, Suzy's PR managers published a message about the breakdown of relations between their client and the hapless Lee Min Ho.

Lee Min Ho and Suzy started dating in the spring of 2015. Since then, fans have been actively following the relationship of one of the most beautiful star couples in South Korea. But lovers are not inclined to advertise the details of their relationship. Every now and then there are reports in the press that they have broken up. What's really going on?

Lee Min Ho and Suzy: how they met

The story of how Suzy and Lee Min Ho met, as well as the details of their relationship, are shrouded in mystery. They never worked together, nor did they have mutual acquaintances. According to the official version, the young people met in London in the spring of 2015. About a month later, representatives of both parties confirmed the start of a romantic relationship.

The message caused a storm of interest from fans. This is because the actor, model and singer Lee Min Ho is well known to viewers for his roles in the projects “Secrets of the Schoolyard”, “Boys Over Flowers”, “The Heirs”.

Thanks to his striking appearance, he became the face of the cover of Cosmopolitan Korea magazine in 2017. Dramas starring Lee Min Ho have enjoyed the love and popularity of viewers not only in South Korea, but throughout the world for more than ten years.

Little was known about Lee Min Ho's personal life before 2015, namely:

• his ideal type of girl is Song Hye Hye's character from Full House;
• in his opinion, a girl should be mature and serious, but at the same time be able to laugh at herself;
• Min Ho kissed for the first time in middle school, he didn’t say the girl’s name;
• in 2011, the actor dated Park Min Hye (“The Beauty Within,” “Don’t Worry, I’m a Ghost”), with whom he starred in the drama “City Hunter.”

Bae Soo Ji (Suzy) made her debut as a singer and is the main vocalist of the popular group Miss A. Her first film work was the drama “Dream High” (2011). Filming was not easy for the pretty girl, but her talent was soon noted by viewers and critics. His breakthrough roles were in “The Book of the Gu Family” and “Introduction to Architecture.”

The young beauty shared with reporters that:

• her ideal type of man is Ian Somerhalder;
• She kissed for the first time while filming the drama “Dream High” with Taek Young;
• dreams of a handsome, well-groomed guy with good manners who will strive to be the best in everything.

In 2013, reports appeared in the press about Suzy’s affair with Sung Joon, a colleague in the series “Book of the Gu Family.” However, this fact was never confirmed.

That's why the relationship between Lee Min Ho and Suzy became not only the first true love for both stars, but also the first test. It was as if they were made for each other, and the casual acquaintance immediately grew into a romance.

Lee Min Ho and Suzy: how the relationship developed

Suzy and Lee Min Ho tried to hide their romance for a long time. Given the age difference (Lee is 7 years older than Susie), they pretended to be just friends. Like many other Korean actors and actresses, the young people described their relationship in terms of "oppa-dongsaeng", that is, like an older brother and a younger sister.

However, after a month of constant meetings, official representatives of both sides confirmed the fact of the romantic relationship of the star couple.

Since then, reports have appeared in the press about the separation of Lee Min Ho and Suzy. Perhaps the artists’ busy work schedule was to blame.

Nevertheless, the couple celebrated the anniversary of their relationship - April 3, 2016 - very magnificently. A party was organized, which confirmed the affection and passion of the young people for each other. In the photographs they looked incredibly happy and inspired.

Rumors soon spread about the future wedding of Suzy and Lee Min Ho, based on the following guesses:

• Lee Min Ho has repeatedly spoken to reporters about his desire to get married, and also that he plans to buy and equip his own house, into which he will move with his family;
• information appeared about Susie's pregnancy.

Considering Lee Min Ho's busy filming schedule, fans assumed that the wedding would take place after filming for "The Legend of the Blue Sea" ended. In addition, Min Ho had to go to serve in the army, and before that he allegedly planned to get married.

As for Bae Soo Ji, she had to face opposition from her agency. Agents insisted that marriage would lead to the actress's loss of popularity and success and would destroy her image as a young, innocent beauty.

Everything that happened brought new tension into the romance of the young people. In the fall of 2018, Lee Min Ho and Suzy announced their final separation, without explaining the reasons why their three-year relationship ended.

But in February 2019, the couple was spotted together again. What was it - a date or a friendly meeting? The artists do not comment on what is happening. But fans again found hope for the reunion of loving hearts.

Lee Min Ho and Suzy were one of the brightest and most beautiful celebrity couples in South Korea. Their relationship today is shrouded in mystery, but true love can overcome everything. Perhaps the long-awaited wedding will still take place.
