Lee Min-ho (; born May 10, 1982), better known as Boom (), is a South Korean rapper, singer, actor, radio host, and television presenter. He has made numerous television appearances in South Korean comedy shows and has acted in sitcoms as well.
Career
He debuted in 1997 with the group Key with the first album Key. After their disbandment in 1998, he joined Nuclear in 1999 and released one album, Nuclear, before disbandment. Later in 2001, he joined Lexa, which disbanded after a year. In 2006, Boom released his first solo single "Boom Up", followed by his second single "Shout Out" in 2007.
Boom gained popularity through his comic appearances on variety shows such as X-man and Love Letter. He went on to host shows such as Mnet's School of Rock, although it was not until 2008 that he became well known as an MC through popular shows such as Idol Show, Star King and Champagne. From 2009, he hosted a special segment, Boom Academy, with Super Junior's Leeteuk, Eunhyuk and Shindong, on SBS' Strong Heart.
On October 29, 2009, Boom was enlisted for mandatory military service at a military training center in Gangwon-do Province. He reported to the 102 Replacement Depot in Chuncheon for six weeks of basic training followed by 22 months of active duty. He appeared on March 5, 2010 in an Armed Forces Television event where he was the MC for USO type show featuring girl group Kara. During the performance, he was dressed in a Republic of Korea Navy enlisted dress uniform.
Boom was discharged from the army on August 22, 2011 by the Defense Media Agency of the Ministry of National Defense where he had been serving as a PR agent. Boom returned to Strong Heart as a regular guest, known as one of the six fixed panelists and to lead Boom Academy. He released a music video, "Boom is Back", to celebrate his discharge and signed onto host SBS' radio show Young Street.
Controversies
In November 10 and 11, 2013, Boom and several other celebrities, including Tak Jae-hoon, Andy Lee, Lee Soo-geun and Yang Se-hyung, were prosecuted for partaking in illegal gambling. The Seoul Central District Court classified Boom's case as a general gambling crime, and he was fined 5 million won.
Personal life
On March 10, 2022, Boom announced through his fan cafe and agency that he would be marrying a non-celebrity girlfriend on April 9, 2022. On March 22, 2024, the couple welcomed their first child, a girl.
