Lee Jung Ha Undergoes Striking Transformation for His Role in "Moving"

The Disney+ original series Moving tells the story of children with supernatural abilities and their parents hiding painful secrets from the past, protecting them from being exploited by the world.  

Part of the lead cast is Lee Jung Ha, who takes on the role of the protagonist Kim Bong Seok.

Kim Bong Seok possesses superpowers inherited from his father Doo Shik (Zo In Sung) - the gift to fly - and mother Lee Mi Hyun (Han Hyo Joo) - extraordinary sensory abilities. 

Despite his exceptional gifts, Bong Seok lives a modest life as a sincere high school student, choosing to keep his powers hidden.  

To conceal his abilities from the world, he carries a heavy sandbag and a water bottle to make his body stay grounded on land. Yet, grappling with the challenge of controlling his powers, he faces difficulties whenever his emotions trigger his uncontrollable abilities.

To accurately portray the character of Bong Seok, Lee Jung Ha devoted himself to a remarkable transformation, gaining 30kg in weight. This dedication resulted in a visual appearance strikingly similar to the original webtoon's depiction of Bong Seok. 

Particularly notable is Lee Jung Ha's boldness in taking on his first wire action scenes in Moving, displaying a growing proficiency in this aspect through relentless practice. 

Director Park In Je praised Lee Jung Ha's action skills and applauded him for his unwavering passion.

The behind-the-scenes photos of Lee Jung Ha during the poster shoot for Moving, released through his agency, Namoo Actors, beautifully capture the various facets of Bong Seok. He flawlessly embodies Bong Seok's innocent demeanor with a radiant and childlike smile, while also adeptly conveying his character's emotional depth through intense and contemplative gazes at the camera. Furthermore, in the breathtaking scenes where Bong Seok soars with the help of wires, Lee Jung Ha's sheer determination is palpable, leaving viewers eager to witness the dynamic performance that lie ahead.
Moving is set to premiere on Disney+ on August 9th, with a simultaneous release of seven episodes worldwide, followed by a weekly release of two episodes.
