Lee Jung-ha Expresses Deep Affection for His Nephew During 'ONE: High School Heroes' Interview

Actor Lee Jung-ha has revealed his deep affection for his nephew.

On the 11th, an interview with Lee Jung-ha, who plays the role of Euigyeom in the Wavve drama 'ONE: High School Heroes' (hereafter 'Heroes'), was held at the Post Tower in Yeouido-dong, Seoul. 'Heroes' is a drama about Euigyeom, the top student, and Yoon-ki (played by Kim Do-wan), who tries to use Euigyeom's innate fighting talent to form a masked group called 'Heroes' to overturn the school's bullying hierarchy.

When asked about playing a high school student, Lee Jung-ha shared, "Senior actors around me have said, 'You should play student roles as much as you can while you still can,'" with a smile. He continued, "Regardless of the role, whether it's a high school student or something else, I plan to give it my all," showing his passion for acting.

Lee Jung-ha also showed his doting side as an uncle. He said, "My nephew is 9 months old now and he's so cute. I visited my sister's house yesterday and saw him briefly. It's been a while, and he's really good at crawling now," he said with a satisfied smile.

He added, "When my nephew smiles, he seems to resemble me. He's 9 months old now, already weighs 11kg, and started eating solid food at 4 months, so he's very healthy. I can't wait for the day he starts walking so I can take him to Everland holding his hand."

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-ha touched many hearts last year when he mentioned his brother-in-law, who passed away in an accident during his sister's pregnancy, at an awards ceremony. Since then, Lee Jung-ha has shared several photos with his nephew on his personal social media, expressing his extraordinary love for him.
