We cannot stop screaming our guts out and we thank Lee Min-Ho for the sudden outburst of emotions. The actor, who is currently starring in The King: Eternal Monarch, has been posting numerous photos over the past few months from the sets of the show. However, the actor might have just given away a huge spoiler with regard to the ending of the series. In a series of photos shared by the Korean star on his Instagram, it seems like Lee Gon and Jung Tae-eul might have a happy ending. 

Last year, BTS scored the most-liked tweet courtesy Jungkook. Kookie posted a video on the band's official Twitter account where he was dancing to Billie Eilish's Bad Guy. The ARMY showered him with love and as a result, the "Duh" tweet made history. However, he wasn't the only Korean celebrity who was hooked to the English song last year. We've discovered a video on Lee Min Ho's official Instagram account that shows the lead of The King: Eternal Monarch that shows he also enjoyed the song. 

GOT7‘s Mark Tuan is helping out.

The King: Eternal Monarch is fast pacing towards the finish line. With the episodes that aired last weekend, the plot intensified.

Lee Min Ho is making sure he puts his best foot forward with The King: Eternal Monarch. The SBS/Netflix series sees the actor marks the return of the South Korean actor from his military enlistment. The actor plays Emperor Lee Gon on the series. The actor shares the screen with Kim Go Eun for the first time. While the ratings in South Korea haven't met the expectations, Min Ho is leaving no stone unturned to deliver a memorable performance.

Whereas in the Kingdom of Corea, the actor plays the chief royal guard Jo Yeong who protects Min Ho's Lee Gon.
