Lee Min Ho recently celebrated his tenth year anniversary as an actor on May 10. It was not only the actor who marked the special day, but fans all over the world went all-out to celebrate the occasion as well.

Many were amazed at how the fans were able to plan and execute various events for the well-loved Korean actor. The most important thing was that, all the events were carried out successfully even if the fans were miles apart.

According to Yonhap News, Lee's fans used various forms of media which include paid advertisement and social media campaigns to greet their idol in the most creative ways. For instance, in Korea, customized videos were played in two of Seoul's busiest districts - Gangnam and Myeong-dong.

Lee's new agency, MYM Entertainment, also shared that the same video clips were also played in the streets of Shanghai, Tokyo and Beijing. Moreover, Japanese fans also shelled out money just to secure some ad spaces where they can put up their posters of greeting along the subway lines of Seoul.

As if these were not enough, the "Heirs" star fanbase, the Minoz group, also hired buses that traverse the roads of Hongdae, Myeong-dong and Gangnam. They commissioned the said form of public transportation to play fan-made videos of the actor.

Chinese fans wanted to do something environmentally friendly so they opted to plant about 510 ‘Lee Min Ho' trees around the deserts of Mongolia. Similarly, to make the actor's debut anniversary more meaningful, several fan clubs chose charitable activities in honor of Lee's name.

Taiwanese fans made donations to World Vision by sending school supplies for elementary kids whom it sponsors while Mexican Minoz collected plastic bottle caps and sold them to recycling companies. The proceeds from the drive were donated to a foundation that supports children with cancer.

Hong Kong fans offered their time by doing volunteer works at a nursing home. They also donated some cash to UNICEF.

Further, the global Minoz fandom gets reunited as one when they posted photos of themselves holding the same "Happy 10th Anniversary" banner and uploaded them on social media. They also trended the hashtag #10yearswithLeeMinHo and over 148,000 fans joined the campaign.

Finally, Lee did not forget to thank his fans for the awesome greetings. He expressed his gratitude by posting a photo on his Instagram and captioning it with the hashtags #10years #actorleeminho #minoz #thanks and #iloveyou, Allkpop reported.
