Actor Lee Jung-ha (28) is showing his steps as a rising star.

Wave Original Drama 'ONE: High School Heroes' is a high school action drama in which Uigyeom (Lee Jung-ha), the top student in the school suffering from his father's oppression, and Yoongi (Kim Do-wan), who tries to use his natural fighting talent, form a masked 'High School Heroes' to explode suppressed anger, overturning the school violence ranking. Lee Jung-ha performed a break-down bare fist action with a natural talent, Uigyeom.

Lee Jung-ha met with Sports Chosun before the end of the show and said, `This drama feels like time has gone by really quickly. I was wondering how it would turn out because it's a new action that's different from 'Moving', and I was curious about how it felt because it's a challenge that can show you a different feeling, so I waited a lot" expressed his feelings.




It might have been burdensome because it was an action that had to be presented one after another, but Lee Jung-ha was interested in both aerial and ground-based actions. Lee Jung-ha said, "In the aerial action shown through 'Moving', you have to get on the wire and act??I couldn't do much movement on the door, but in 'ONE', I tried to increase the sense of hit by making the movement bigger. I didn't think Bong-seok (of moving) and Eui-gyeom of 'ONE' were similar because I thought they were completely opposite characters.

Lee Jung-ha then said, "After I took action, I thought 'Wow, I'm cool', and when I monitored it, I could see a lot of disappointment. So I trimmed that part a little bit and took action by recording the mistake, saying 'I shouldn't do it next time. When I think the action has improved, something else comes out right away. Still, everyone is talented in the field. They said, 'It's a Diamond Bull.' When I first hear it, it says, 'Am I really talented?' And then everyone says, 'I'm really talented, right?It made me do ' But it seems to be increasing. So if I get a chance, I want to try more. There is a sense of accomplishment in action. But when the action scene approaches, I get very nervous," he said with a smile.

Lee Jung-ha, who gained up to 99kg when filming 'Moving', filmed 'ONE' soon after a month after filming 'Moving'. As a result, image transformation through weight loss was inevitable. Lee Jung-ha "I had about a month, but I tried my best to lose weight in a hurry. I weighed about 99kg when I shot 'Moving', but I weighed 80kg when I shot 'ONE', and now I'm maintaining about 72kg"'ONE' was about 5kg more lost by the end of the shoot than it was at the beginning."."

He emerged as a rising star by winning the Blue Dragon Series Awards Rookie of the Year Award and the Baeksang Arts Awards Rookie of the Year Award through "Moving". In response, Lee Jung-ha thanked "I received the award, but I think I felt burdened in the first place, not after I received the award." I always have it in my mind even if I try to enjoy it, but when I go down and talk, I go out early and try to adapt, so the pressure is reduced, and as the experience is accumulated, I think I can act more comfortably in the future. "

'ONE' and 'Moving' were filmed three years ago, and the beauty is that you can appreciate Lee Jung-ha's cute charm even more. Lee Jung-ha says, "I love the job as an actor. In a way, three years is a long time, but watching Lee Jung-ha play and act delicately three years ago, I feel like my youth is recorded intact. I'm so cute three years ago, and wouldn't I be cute three years later?"

However, homework on joining the military remains. Lee Jung-ha said, `I want to do activities without regret before joining the military, and I'm working hard on what I'm given now with no regrets. So when I came back, I thought that the viewers would be waiting for me to make this work memorable"I like Korea and Korea, so I want to be an actor who can be a national representative. I hope Lee Jung-ha's acting will be memorable as a character for a long time. If you really enjoyed watching the drama, I want to be a memorable actor so that viewers can remember it like this, "It's not Bongseok, it's not Uigyeom, it's Lee Jungha." he said.
