Metro Style Lee Chae Min Kdrama Crush

<p>It&#x27;s been a while since we&#x27;ve been smitten by a K-drama leading man. Right now, we&#x27;ve been bitten by the K-drama love bug yet again, as the seriously addictive Netflix show &#x27;<strong>Bon Appétit Your Majesty</strong>&#x27; comes to a close. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/l.c.m____/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Lee Chae-min</strong></a>, otherwise known for his role as <strong>King</strong><strong> Lee Heon</strong>, the tyrant king, has captured our hearts with his undeniably charming smile, amazing acting, and striking visuals.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759139113044Metro Style Lee Chae Min 3.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Lee Chae-min as King Lee Heon in &#x27;Bon Appétit Your Majesty&#x27; | Photo via @l.c.m____</span></span></span><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759141095156Metro Style Lee Chae Min 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @l.c.m____</span></span></span>The 25-year-old actor, relatively a K-drama newbie, has been in the Korean showbiz industry since 2021, when he played a role in the drama &#x27;High Class&#x27;. Because of his youthful, fresh appearance, he often gets cast to play a high schooler or a teenager. He also appeared in dramas like &#x27;Alchemy of Souls&#x27;, &#x27;See You In MY 19th Life&#x27;, and &#x27;Crash Course in Romance&#x27;. This time around, in &#x27;Bon Appétit Your Majesty&#x27;, he gets to play a more mature role—that of a tyrant king of the Joseon dynasty. Chae-min beautifully portrayed royalty and conveyed strong emotions that truly impressed. Being paired with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yoona_lim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yoona Lim</a>, a K-drama veteran and 10 years his senior, was no easy feat for sure, but Chae-min rose to the occasion. The pair conveyed beautiful chemistry on screen and dazzled us with their flawless beauty.</div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOXo8Klk54x/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A6234531%2C%22ls%22%3A12009.79999999702%2C%22le%22%3A12579.59999999404%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="968" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>The promising young actor has also had hosting stints for KBS Music Bank, and has graced the covers of glossies like Marie Claire Korea and DAZED Korea.
