His role as a boxer certainly cannot avoid the risks in every scene he goes through for MOVE TO HEAVEN. Lee Je Hoon revealed how he performed these violent actions. Even the actor from the film TIME TO HUNT also injured his wrist.

"It's very risky because I use a lot of my strength to make it more powerful even though I'm not good at boxing, which caused me to hurt my wrist. I'm proud of myself because I can do boxing. It's not easy to perform violent actions in a drama scene, but I want to show it to the audience about the world of boxing. Despite the risks, I can still live, so it's not a problem," said Lee Je Hoon.

For those who have watched the drama, you must be familiar with the green jacket that Uncle Sang Gu always wears in every scene. Not only is it an item that is closely associated with his character, but it also has significant meaning for Sang Gu.

"Sang Gu's character is also inseparable from boxing gloves because his character works as a boxer besides helping Geu Ru overcome trauma. In addition, this jacket is very closely attached to Sang Gu's character. I think this jacket is very suitable for making people feel intimidated and stay away from him. It can be his protection. When I wear this jacket every day, I feel like I can delve deeper into my character as Sang Gu," he said.
