Lee Min Ho As an Honorary Prosecutor

Congratulations to Lee Min Ho! He has been chosen as an “Honorary Prosecutor.” He is basically a PR ambassador for Korean prosecutors. Prosecutors in South Korea are a lot more powerful than their counterparts in the U.S. Also they form another class of elite individuals. That is why many dramas portray them as elite figures and there are a lot of popular prosecutors as characters. (Example: Vampire Prosecutor, City Hunter) I find it somewhat ironic that Lee Min Ho is an “Honorary Prosecutor” because after all, his character in City Hunter was a rival with one!
