From the mystery-comedy Behind Your Touch to the superhero thriller Moving and the upcoming action-comedy Han River Police, Kim Hee Won stars in them all. The actor is on a streak, playing sensational characters, each different from the other, proving his versatility.

And it's no surprise considering the tremendous effort he invests in his roles.
Peeling back the curtain to offer a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes of his preparation process for his role as Lee Chun Suk in Han River Police, the actor shares insights into what it took to bring this character to life.
During the press conference for the Disney+ original series Han River Police, which was held at JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square in Seoul on September 12th, Kim Hee Won disclosed, "In Han River Police, I had to drive a boat on the Han River constantly. So, I obtained a yacht license during the summer". He further expressed, "Many people want to get a license, but summer days can be quite scorching. I also went through the process during summer, and it was indeed challenging, given there was no shade on the Han River".
Kim Hee Won elaborated, "I dedicated a week to intensive boat-driving practice. It was hard, but upon successfully securing the license, the sense of accomplishment was immeasurable, and I'm glad I can now drive a boat".
Kim Hee Won also shared his sentiments regarding his upcoming role in Han River Police, following his involvement in the Disney+ series Moving.

He continued optimistically, "Following the success of Moving, I am excited to bring you Han River Police, and I sincerely hope for Disney+ to continue to prosper".
