Fashion magazine Elle revealed photos of Hallyu star Lee Min-ho for its September issue Monday.

In the photos taken in a desert near Los Angeles, the 26-year-old exuded his masculine charisma along with his sexy smile under the scorching sun. Lee sported various stylish outfits, from a jacket intricately embellished with ethnic patterns to a green shawl over his dark blue suit.

“I’ve always had a thought in my mind that a man should take full responsibility of what he had said,” said Lee in an interview, adding, “I don’t like beating around the bush.”

When asked about his definition of happiness, the actor said he feels happy when he can make others happy. “Whenever I feel there’s something lacking in my life, I always take a moment to think of what could make me feel better. Then, you can keep yourself away from feeling depressed for a long time,” said Lee, giving tips for happiness.

Lee also talked about his next film “Bounty Hunters” -- a multinational action film which features five bounty hunters who chase fugitives for money in Korea, China, Hong Kong and Thailand -- to be filmed from September.

The fashion spreads, including more of his photos and the entire interview, will be available in the magazine’s September issue and on its official website www.elle.co.kr.
