[140710] Minho and his love for soccer



Everyone knows SHINee’s Minho loves soccer! Despite of his busy schedule, the idol always takes the opportunity to play or watch soccer.

The rapper of SHINee is indeed known for his love for soccer since he was a kid. Born as the son of national soccer coach, Choi Yun-Gyeom, he is already familiar with the soccer world.

He had also shown his love for the sports when he went on a holiday to England on variety show “SHINee One Fine Day”. He willingly took a train for hours from London to Sunderland, for the purpose of watching the match between Sunderland and QPR (Queens Park Rangers), which at that time was strengthen by South Korean soccer player, Park Jisung.



Moreover, he also has soccer abilities that are on the same level with professional soccer players. His abilities were acknowledged by national soccer player Lee Young Pyo who saw his play on SBS’s variety show “Cool Kiz on the Block”.

“Minho has passion, skills and soccer sense. He is certainly today’s MVP player,” Young Pyo said on one episode of the show.

Due to his abilities, he has many opportunities to play soccer. He was one of the players in the “Asian Dream Cup 2013” match, against the Hong Kong national team. The singer was also selected twice as a captain for soccer matches on MBC’s “Idol Show Athletic Championship”.

Unfortunately, playing soccer was merely a hobby for him, because it appears that his father did not allow his son who was born in 1991 to become a soccer player.

“My father said a soccer player life is really tough, that’s why he didn’t want me to experience that,” he explained.

However, Minho who is known to be steadfast, often plays soccer with his friends.

“I regularly play soccer with my friends, when I have time,” said the idol who claimed that he had slept for two days because he was too exhausted from playing soccer.
