Infinity Challenge\' special, one of the questions were, "Why did Queen Seokduk build Cheomseongdae?". He answered that it was for agricultural purposes, and since it was built to aid farming by predicting droughts and floods, he was correct. 

In the same episode, Minho was asked what he thought of when he was told

Yun Bong Gil\'s name. He also answered, "The lunchbox bomb", which is what the independent activist is the most famous for. He even added, "He killed the Japanese generals with his water bottle bomb. The lunchbox bomb that he had prepared for his suicide did not go off."

Hehehe that\'s my Minho!! Wonder if he\'s seen this news already, or possibly not yet since he\'s too busy working in Japan right now! But it\'d be nice for him to go back to Korea to such Dibidibidelightful news~

not all of idols are dumb on study stuff  , but most of them are

I quit my 9 to 5 job and now I am getting paid 97usd hourly. How? I work-over internet! My old work was making me miserable, so I was forced to try-somethiing NEW. After two years, I can say my life is changed-completely for the better! Check it out what i do. --------> Ｗ­Ｗ­Ｗ．M­a­x­W­a­g­e­1­0．Ｃ­Ｏ­Ｍ

Whewww. I thought this woulg be some damn dragging session. Minho is really great, I always hated history

I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BRING SHINee DOWN, I WAS READY TO BASH THIS AKP WRITER LOL

because akp just loves to create drama...... SHINee really doesnt do crap to anyone so them randomly talking about SHINee would have set a lot of people off lol

History is my fave actually 😅😅 kinda feel like a alien considering there are many comment about people hating history haha *awkward laugh* But the shade on AOA is quite real 😂 ( maybe that\'s why I was quite amazed with AOA news lol due to my love for history )

Good job for him. It\'s really a shame that people are shaming people for not knowing historical knowledge.
