Lee Chae-min Takes on First Villain Role in Netflix Series 'Cashero'

Actor Lee Chae-min is set to challenge himself with his first villain role.

On the morning of the 22nd, a press conference for the Netflix series 'Cashero' was held at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul. The event was attended by director Lee Chang-min, along with actors Lee Junho, Kim Hye-jun, Kim Byong-chul, Kim Hyang-gi, Lee Chae-min, and Kang Han-na.

'Cashero' is a unique superhero series that follows the story of Sang-woong, played by Lee Junho, a salaried worker struggling with wedding expenses and housing costs. He gains a superpower that strengthens him in proportion to the money he holds, leading to a life caught between daily expenses and newfound abilities. Lee Chae-min takes on the role of the villain, Jonathan.

During the event, Lee Chae-min shared, "This is my first time playing a villain. I focused on the keyword 'hunting' for my performance. The character is someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. I tried to enjoy the hunting scenarios as much as possible. The laughter comes from the fun, and I aimed to act with that mindset."

He added, "It was an honor to act alongside senior actor Lee Junho. He is not only a great dancer but also very skilled physically. I learned a lot from him."

Meanwhile, 'Cashero' is set to premiere on Netflix on the 26th.
