Won Kyu-bin Moving 2 rumors are setting the K-drama world on fire today as reports surface that the rookie actor has been tapped to take over one of the most beloved roles on Disney+. According to industry insiders and coverage from SPOTV News on April 16, 2026, Won Kyu-bin is reportedly stepping into the shoes of Kim Bong-seok, the gravity-defying hero who captured hearts globally in the first season of the smash-hit supernatural series.
The news comes as a bittersweet shock to fans. The original star, Lee Jung-ha, became a breakout sensation for his dedicated portrayal of Bong-seok, famously gaining 66 pounds (30kg) to match the character’s “fluffy” appearance. However, real-world duties have called. Lee Jung-ha officially enlisted in the Marine Corps on January 26, 2026, and is not scheduled for discharge until July 2027. With ‘Moving 2’ moving full steam ahead into production now, the timing simply didn’t align for the original star to return to the skies.
’Moving 2′ recently held a massive secret script reading at KINTEX in Ilsan, involving a staggering 150 cast and crew members. Won Kyu-bin was reportedly spotted among the attendees, signaling that his casting is all but confirmed. While Disney+ has maintained its usual “cannot confirm” stance regarding specific roles, the sheer scale of the production and the presence of the 2004-born rookie at the table suggests a major passing of the torch is underway.

Won Kyu-bin is a fresh face in the industry, having made a splash in the 2025 web drama ‘Cheongdam International High School 2.’ Before his official acting debut, he gained a cult following on social media and YouTube for his striking visuals. Fans are already drawing comparisons between the two actors, wondering if Won will undergo a physical transformation similar to Lee Jung-ha’s to maintain the continuity of the character we know and love.
While Season 2 is expected to dive deeper into the hidden pasts of the adult generation and introduce new supernatural students, Bong-seok remains the emotional core of the story. Recasting a lead is always a gamble, but the choice of a relatively unknown actor like Won Kyu-bin suggests that the creators are looking for a “diamond in the rough” to breathe new life into the franchise. As ‘Moving 2’ begins its high-flying production journey, all eyes are on Won to see if he can carry the weight of this massive sequel.
