'Faith' Lee Min Ho Shows Off New Look As Guardian Warrior

Actor Lee Min Ho's "time slip" photo is quickly drawing attention.

Posting on his Facebook page, Lee Min Ho wrote, "At the set of the commercial filming. The makeup staff is working hard to hide my long hair and I'm monitoring it", and also added two photos contrasting his Goryeo Dynasty warrior makeup and his modern-day look.

The photos attracted viewers' curiosity with what appears to be Lee Min Ho simultaneously being able to sport the long-haired, fierce look of a warrior as well as the short-haired modern look, as if he is freely jumping back and forth between the two time periods.

In the midst of busily shooting for the upcoming SBS Monday-Tuesday drama 'Faith', Lee Min Ho tranformed into a long-haired version of himself for his role in the drama as King Gong Min's personal guard. The short-haired photo is from a set of a clothing ad shoot, showing the makeup crew struggling to change his long hair into a more fitting style for the concept of the commercial.

Lee Min Ho's warrior hairstyle, knicknamed "extension hair", is reported to be the product of a 5-hour process of adding artificial hair strand by strand to the actor's own hair.

Through his recent posts on his social networking sites, the actor has been showing his busy time-traveling transformations, joking, "From the present to the past, from the past to the present. So busy!"

Fans who have seen the photos have reacted with enthusiasm, posting various comments such as, "It looks so real. He looks great with any style", "He's the reincarnation of guardian warrior Choi Young", "His gaze stays so sharp even when he's getting his hair done", and "I could fall down just from his gaze."
