Actor Lee Min-ho has inked a contract to represent the foreigner-only Seven Luck Casino for a year.

“Lee’s identity as a hallyu star matches well with the brand image that the casino seeks,” said an official from Grand Korea Leisure, the state-run casino operator, last week. “Through Lee, we will spread the gentle yet dynamic image of world class casino Seven Luck.”

Lee’s advertising campaign will appear at many tourists’ attractions here and abroad, including airports and train stations.

Lee recently wrapped up filming “Bounty Hunters,” a multinational action flick that features five bounty hunters who chase fugitives for money in Korea, China, Hong Kong and Thailand. The film will open in theaters sometime this year.
