Rookie actor Lee Jung Ha aims for a passionate performance in the eagerly-awaited series, Moving.
In Moving, some of the world’s most ordinary individuals will find themselves running for their lives after government agencies discover their hidden superpowers.
Set in modern-day Korea, Moving also tells the story of a group of superpowered individuals who hide their true abilities from the world in order to protect their families from harm and exploitation.
Adapted from a breakout webtoon of the same name by famed Korean author Kangfull, Moving is one of the most highly anticipated series of the year and is directed by Park In-je (Kingdom Season 2, Moby Dick) and produced by STUDIO&NEW.
Bong-seok, played by Lee Jung Ha, inherits his father Du-shik’s (Jo In Sung’s) flight ability and mother Mi-hyeon’s (Han Hyo Joo) super heightened senses but lives an ordinary life hiding his abilities.
Unable to freely control his abilities, Bong-seok faces difficulties because his body rises whenever his emotions change. Thus, he worries about himself being different from others.

Lee Jung Ha’s Character Preparations
To capture Bong-seok’s character, Lee Jung Ha made an effort to increase his weight by 30kg and succeeded in transforming into a visual similar to Bong-seok in the original webtoon of the same name.
In particular, after challenging his first wire action in this work, he gradually showed proficiency in wire action after constant practice and it is said that he continued to grow along with the character.
Director Park In-je, who directed ‘Moving’, also praised Lee Jung Ha’s wire action skills and applauded his passion.
Subsequently, Namoo Actors released the behind-the-scenes stills of the poster shoot for Moving showcasing the various charms of Bong-seok.
Presenting the pure side of Bong-seok with a bright smile like a child, he shifts to staring at the camera with a serious expression and freely portraying the character’s emotional changes.
Lee Jung Ha, a ‘resolute rookie’ who boasted a 100% synchro rate with Bong-seok is focused on what kind of healing his message of sympathy and comfort will give us.
Moving is slated to debut with a seven-episode premiere on August 9, followed by two episodes per week for the following five weeks, and concluding with a three-episode release for the season finale.
