Meet Korea’s latest superheroes

LIVING with superpowers may seem exhilarating, but not when you’re being hunted down by some of the world’s most powerful governments.

Premiering August 9, Moving is a Disney+ Hotstar Original, that is an electrifying, action-packed Korean drama series adapted from the popular webtoon in which three superpowered teenagers who had to hide their abilities must now protect themselves and their loved ones from exploitation.

Here’s everything you need to know about these young superheroes and their extraordinary abilities.

Superpower: Floating

Name: Kim Bongseok

Taught from a young age to keep his abilities a secret, Bongseok works constantly to prevent himself from floating off into the air. Weighing himself down with sandbags, weights, and heavy meals, Bongseok’s control over his ability begins to slip when a new girl transfers to his high school. He even recites the never-ending digits of Pi (π) to anchor and calm himself.

Played by Lee Jungha, this rising star has made a name for himself with his work on Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung, Run On and Nevertheless. He is currently hailed as one of the most promising actors in Korea.

Superpower: Regenerative
