VIRAL STORY: Nigerian Lady Lands Korean Government Job After Learning Korean for Lee Min Ho
A Nigerian woman has gone viral after sharing how a simple crush on South Korean actor Lee Min Ho completely changed her life — eventually landing her a prestigious job with the Korean government in Nigeria.
In her own words, she revealed:
“I currently earn a living because I have a crush on a Korean actor. I wanted to be able to tell him: ‘hello, I love your dramas, can I call you oppa and can I take a picture?’ in Korean. So I started learning the language…”
What began as a fangirl dream quickly turned into an extraordinary journey. She entered — and won — a Korean speech contest, which opened doors to new opportunities. From there, she became a Korean language teacher, content creator, interpreter, and influencer, all of which culminated in her current role with the Korean embassy or government-related organization in Nigeria.
The lady didn’t shy away from admitting her inspiration:
“Absolutely! It’s the delectably handsome Lee Min Ho. He acted like he was owing rent for 7 years in City Hunter and made me fall completely in love with him. Unfortunately, I haven’t met him yet.”
Social media users are calling her story both funny and inspiring, with many praising her determination, talent, and ability to turn a fangirl moment into a full-blown career. Some even joked:
“This is the most productive crush I’ve ever seen!”
“From Oppa to Embassy — someone give her a K-drama of her own.”
Lee Min Ho himself hasn’t responded yet — but with the story trending across platforms, it might just reach him soon. 👀💌
