Lee Sang-hee will be joining Disney+‘s original series ‘North Star’ (written by Jung Seo-kyung, directed by Kim Hee-won and Heo Myung-hang).

‘North Star’ is the story of ‘Moon-joo’ (played by Jun Ji-hyun), a diplomat and former UN ambassador who has built an international reputation, and ‘San-ho’ (played by Kang Dong-won), a special agent of unknown nationality, chasing the truth hidden behind a huge incident.

Lee Sang-hee will add richness to the drama by playing the role of Moon-joo’s long-time assistant ‘Yeo Mi-ji. Lee Sang-hee‘s acting skills, which will unfold as the character of Yeo Mi-ji, a close assistant, are more anticipated than ever. The acting synergy with Jun Ji-hyun is also a point of interest.

Lee Sang-hee has shown a wide spectrum of acting in various works such as the dramas ‘Now at Our School’, ‘Juvenile Judgement’, ‘Let the Defense Begin’, ‘Unlock the Boss’, ‘Morning Comes to the Psychiatric Ward’, and the movies ‘A Really Distant Place’, ‘Children Are Fun’, ‘Decibel’, ‘Ro Ki-wan’. With his outstanding character interpretation and immersive acting that transcends genres, he has established himself as an irreplaceable actor in both dramas and movies.

Attention is being paid to what kind of impressive image Lee Sang-hee will once again present through ‘North Star’.

‘North Star’ is scheduled to be released worldwide in 2025 through Disney+.
