According to the "2024 Overseas Korean Wave Survey" (as of 2023) released by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Institute for International Cultural Exchange, Lee Min-ho ranked first as the most favored Korean actor around the world for eleven consecutive years with a phenomenal popularity figure.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Institute for International Cultural Exchange analyzed that Lee Min-ho is playing a role in driving the Korean Wave as the preference and popularity of the drama sector are rising sharply in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, which are overwhelmingly high in popularity and preference.

Lee Min-ho topped the list with an overwhelming number of popularity and preferences in all parts of the world, including Asia-Pacific, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In particular, it has been steadily popular beyond the Korean Wave boom, ranking first in an extra survey result of 'the first Korean actor to come to mind'.

Meanwhile, Lee Min-ho is currently filming the movie "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint" and will meet with the public this year with the drama "When the Stars Gossip" and Apple TV+ "Pachinko - Season 2".
