Actor Lee Min-ho was forced to stop shooting a commercial and even to change locations urgently due to the crowds gathered to see him.
On April 19, a staff member that worked on the shoot told the actor's agency, "We have to stop filming ongoing. We won't be able to film in this location."
Lee Min-ho has been shooting the commercial for Shimao Group since April 18 and had to finish shooting on the day as he had to fly from Xiamen to Hangzhou for his promotion activities on April 19.
However, the filming had to be postponed due to the large number of fans that followed Lee Min-ho from the airport and the crowds that gathered to see the hallyu star. The production team looked up for nearby apartments and pensions to urgently change the location in order to avoid the fans.
An associate from the actor's agency Starhaus said, "We had an emergency meeting as the filming was stopped due to the huge crowd. Thanks the production team's quick delivery and the cooperation from the fans, we were able to finish filming the commercial successfully."
