Actor Lee Jung Ha gained stardom with 'Moving' but will not appear in Season 2 due to military enlistment

Actor Lee Jung Ha garnered significant attention for his role as Kim Bong-seok in the Disney+ original series 'Moving'. He received praise for his exceptional dedication to the character, including gaining over 30kg and performing challenging wire action sequences. Lee Jung Ha rose to prominence with the global success of 'Moving', earning new actor awards at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards and the 3rd Blue Dragon Series Awards, which acknowledged his acting prowess.

During the 'Moving' audition process, Lee Jung Ha began gaining weight for the Kim Bong-seok character even before his casting was confirmed, driven by his affection for the role. He increased his weight from the late 60kg range to the late 90kg range and maintained this weight throughout the 11-month filming period. Furthermore, he studied contemporary dance to naturally portray the character's flying abilities, demonstrating his deep immersion in the role. This dedicated effort significantly contributed to the success of 'Moving'.

However, Lee Jung Ha will not be able to participate in 'Moving' Season 2 due to his scheduled enlistment in the Marine Corps in January 2026. Won Kyu-bin is set to take on the role of Kim Bong-seok in Season 2, with new actors like Sol Kyung-gu and Lee Hee-joon also joining the cast. Fans have expressed regret over Lee Jung Ha's departure due to military service, while also looking forward to his future endeavors.
