On June 26, Disney+ unveiled stills of Lee Jung Ha in his role as Kim Bong Seok in the upcoming K-drama Moving.

The series tells the story of children with superpowers and their parents trying to protect them from being exploited by the world.

Lee Jung Ha, renowned for his performances in dramas such as Rookie Historian Goo Hae RyungRun On, and Freshman, unveils a side of himself never seen before through his character in the upcoming series. 

In Moving, Lee Jung Ha takes on the role of Kim Bong Seok, a high school student with the superpower to fly but chooses to live an ordinary life, concealing his powers.

Bong Seok, struggling with his lack of control over his abilities, finds himself in awkward situations whenever his emotions overwhelm him, which causes his body to levitate. Because he lives a different life than others, he questions why he is not like everyone else. He constantly stays vigilant of his surroundings and remains tense despite his innocent nature.

Lee Jung Ha effortlessly embraces the multifaceted nature of the character, and expressing his enthusiasm, the actor commented, "Moving is a project I really wanted to challenge myself with. Bong Seok is a kind and strong person. Although he cannot fly freely yet, as the story unfolds, he will grow, and it will be fun to see Bong Seok's transformation".

Moreover, it is revealed that to immerse himself in his character, Lee Jung Ha gained 66 lbs and spared no effort in his practice and performance. 

Director Park In Je commented, "Casting for the role of Bong Seok was not easy because there is already an image of the character in the minds of those who have seen the original webtoon". 

The original creator and screenwriter, Kang Pool, lauds Lee Jung Ha's dedication saying, "He worked really hard for his character. He is a passionate actor".

Moving is set to premiere on Disney+ on August 9, with a simultaneous release of all seven episodes worldwide, followed by a weekly release of two episodes.
