Disney+ original series Moving has unveiled a set of stills of the character Lee Jae Man, played by actor Kim Sung Kyun

Jae Man, a well-known figure in Cheonggyecheon Market, is a man who always accepts others' requests with a warm smile and a genuine willingness to help them. His family holds the utmost importance in his heart, and when his wife and son Kang Hoon (Kim Do Hoon) are in peril, he unleashes his hidden power of lightning-fast speed and incredible strength, fearlessly charging into action.
