After the successful premiere of “Moving,” Actor Lee Jeong Ha’s weight loss story gained attention among fans.

Lee Jeong Ha, a rookie actor, plays Kim Bong-seok, a high school senior who has the ability to fly but lives hiding his power. Bong-seok struggles with his fluctuating emotions and the ability to float whenever he feels them, causing inconvenience.
His mother, Mi-hyun (played by Han Hyo Joo), worries that her son’s abilities will be revealed to the world. To portray the character of Bong-seok, who is depicted as a chubby figure in the original work, Lee Jeong Ha gained 30kg of weight.
