Actor Lee Jeong-ha revealed the reason for his challenge in the school genre once again with 'ONE' following 'Moving'.
On the 28th, a production presentation for the Wavve original 'ONE: High School Heroes' (hereafter 'ONE') was held at Lotte Cinema in Gunja-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Attendees included Lee Jeong-ha, Kim Do-wan, Kim Sang-ho, Kim Joo-ryeong, Yoo Hee-je, Yook Jun-seo, Lim Seong-kyun, and director Lee Seong-tae.
'ONE' is a high school action drama where Kim Ui-gyeom (played by Lee Jeong-ha), who suffers from his father's oppression, and Kang Yoon-ki (played by Kim Do-wan), who wants to utilize his innate fighting talent, form a masked group called 'High School Heroes' to unleash their suppressed anger and overturn the hierarchy of school violence. It captures the thrilling counterattack of the High School Heroes against the stacked class and hierarchy built on violence through exhilarating action.
Having established himself as a rising star through the Disney+ drama 'Moving', Lee Jeong-ha takes on the role of Kim Ui-gyeom, who awakens his suppressed fighting instincts.
Lee Jeong-ha said, "I feel my shoulders rise when I hear that I look like I came out of a webtoon. Can you see it?" referring to the positive feedback on his synchronization with the character.
He explained, "Ui-gyeom is a character who suffers from his father's oppression. While only aiming for medical school, he discovers his talent for fighting after transferring schools. He is a cool character who turns the school hierarchy upside down."
Lee Jeong-ha expressed his desire to challenge the school action genre, saying, "Since I did a lot of action in the sky in 'Moving', I wanted to try it on the ground as well. It was exciting and refreshing to shoot in a different way. I think it's a new challenge, and I'm happy about it."
He added jokingly, "I'm worried about getting scolded by my mom in 'Moving'. I can't tell Han Hyo-joo's mom about it either. I can't talk about the new mom and dad either."
'ONE' will release episodes 1-4 on Wavve on the 30th, with episodes 5 and 6 on June 6, and episodes 7 and 8 on June 13.
