SHINee Minho Becomes Taekwondo Instructor

Choi Minho (SHINee Minho) is a hot topic for his impactful presence.

Choi Min-ho appeared in JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Family X Melo' as 'Nam Tae-pyeong', who pioneers his own life, and immediately stole the hearts of viewers with his overwhelming visuals and neat manners.

In last week's broadcast, Tae-pyeong caught the attention of the viewers from the moment he first appeared by carrying Mirae (played by Son Na-eun) on his back without hesitation when she collapsed from overwork, and his affectionate actions of waiting until she woke up aroused curiosity about Tae-pyeong.

He rescued Mirae, who was in trouble due to her ex-boyfriend's tyranny in front of the company, by putting her on his bike and helping her get treatment for her injuries, giving viewers a thrill.

At the end of episode 2, Tae-pyeong, who has transformed into a Taekwondo master, witnesses Ae-yeon (played by Kim Ji-soo) and Mu-jin (played by Ji Jin-hee) fighting while on his way home from work. He mistakes Mu-jin for a thug and responds with a flying kick, but realizes it was a misunderstanding, resulting in an all-time thrilling ending that made viewers eagerly await the next episode.

Choi Min-ho displayed his excellent character digestion skills, naturally portraying the charming aspects of Tae-pyeong, such as his sense of justice and jumping in when someone is in danger without hesitation, and his consideration for others when they are in an awkward situation and getting out of the way, raising expectations for his future activities.

'Family X Melo' is a bloody family melodrama about a father who threw himself out 11 years ago and returns as the owner of the building where our house was built. It airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 PM on JTBC.
