In the period drama Pachinko, Lee Min-Ho and Minha Kim share several scenes as Koh Hansu and Sunja respectively. Actor Jin Ha, who plays their characters’ grandson Solomon, doesn’t have any scenes with them, but the trio got together for a chaotic co-star test in which they got many questions wrong, including which Pachinko scene was their favourite to film. Check out the video below!
Pachinko co-stars guess their favourite scenes
In the Buzzfeed Celeb co-star test, Lee Min-ho guesses that Minha’s favourite scene in Pachinko was when she left her mother behind in Korea to emigrate to Japan. That scene from Season 1 was the wrong guess. Meanwhile, Jin Ha guesses that the scene where Koh Hansu and Sunja go driving together in Season 2 is their favourite and gets loudly rejected.
Lee Min-ho makes Jin Ha laugh as he guessed the bed scene between his character Solomon and his girlfriend Naomi (Anna Sawai) was his favourite. The actor laughed and said, "To your credit, I did work out for seven months very seriously for that one shirtless scene where you don't see anything in the final cut!" Minha and Lee finally guess that Jin's first scene where he dances at the station is his favourite.

We also get some behind-the-scenes from the trio. It was also his first scene in Pachinko to shoot. Jin also shared that he danced so hard that he twisted his neck and had to stay in the same position after it was done. The shoot was completed at 2 am and he had to be wrapped in five towels as it was so cold in Toronto, Canada.
More facts from the Pachinko co-star test
Minha scored the highest, followed by Lee Min-ho, and Jin Ha came in third. They got basic facts from names to hometowns right but when it got to detailed answers like birthdays to favourite Korean foods, the actors were way off. Jin Ha’s favourite Korean food is jajangmyeon (black bean sauce noodles), Minha loves tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), and Lee Min-ho enjoys samgyeopsal-gui (grilled pork belly). For their hidden talent, all three actors said they could bust out a tune. Finally, Jin Ha shared that Minha likes to juggle in between shots, while Lee Min-ho spends time on a pogo stick but mostly likes to do nothing when not shooting.
