Lee Min-Ho (born May 10, 1982), better known as Boom (Hangul: 붐), 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

Starting his career as a hip hop singer, Boom released his first single "Boom Up" in 2006, and his second single "질러" in 2007. He was originally part of the band "Nu Clear".

However, he gained popularity through his comic appearances on variety shows such as X-man and Love Letter. He went on to hosting shows such as MNet's School of Rock, although it was not until 2008 where he became well known as an MC through popular shows such as Idol Show, Star King and Champagne. From 2009, he was regular guests and host of special segment, Boom Academy, with Super Junior's Leeteuk, Eunhyuk and Shindong as members, on SBS's Strong Heart.

On 29 October 2009, Boom was enlisted for mandatory military service at a military training center in Gangwon-do Province.[1] 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 5 March 2010 in an Armed Forces Television event where he was the MC for USO type show featuring Korean girl group Kara. During the performance, he was dressed in a Korean Navy enlisted dress uniform.

Boom was discharged from the army on 22 August 2011 by the Defense Media Agency of the Ministry of National Defense where he has been serving as a PR agent.[2] Boom returned to Strong Heart as regular guest, known as one of the six-fixed panelists and to lead Boom Academy.[3] He released a music video "Boom is Back" to celebrate his discharge and signed onto host SBS’s radio show Young Street.

Controversies

In 10 and 11 November 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.[4][5]
