Actor Lee Chae-min shared heartfelt praise for Lee Jun-ho while discussing their on-screen chemistry at the production presentation for Netflix’s upcoming series Cashero.
On December 22, a press conference for the Netflix series Cashero was held at The Westin Josun Seoul Parnas in Gangnam. Director Lee Chang-min and cast members Lee Jun-ho, Kim Hye-joon, Kim Byung-chul, Kim Hyang-gi, Lee Chae-min, and Kang Han-na were all in attendance.
In the series, Lee Chae-min takes on a villain role opposite Lee Jun-ho’s hero character. Speaking about their collaboration, Lee Chae-min said it was an honor to act alongside Lee Jun-ho. “I learned so much from him,” he shared. “While filming, I kept thinking, ‘How can someone be this cool?’ It was an incredible experience.”
He went on to praise Lee Jun-ho’s physical control and dedication, noting that his background in dance translated powerfully into action scenes. “He uses his body so well. There were many action scenes, and watching him handle everything so naturally was amazing,” Lee said. “He gave me a lot of encouragement and guided me throughout the shoot. It truly felt like a dream.”
Lee Jun-ho also spoke warmly about Lee Chae-min, recalling their first scene together. He said he was impressed by how focused and well-prepared his co-star was. “I could see how much effort he put into rehearsing his lines and understanding the scene,” Lee Jun-ho said. “He was very flexible in reacting and exchanging emotions during our scenes, which made acting together enjoyable.”
He added that they grew close over time and expressed regret that filming had ended. “By the end, we became quite close, so it was hard to say goodbye. I found myself wishing we could work together more often.”
Cashero tells the story of Sang-ung, a salaryman struggling with wedding expenses and rising housing costs who gains a unique superpower: his strength increases in proportion to the amount of money he holds. Caught between everyday survival and extraordinary abilities, the series presents a grounded, relatable take on the hero genre.
Cashero is set to premiere on Netflix on December 26, raising anticipation for its blend of action, humor, and character-driven storytelling.
