Lee Jun-ho returns with a refreshingly grounded take on the superhero genre in Netflix's new series Cash Hero, premiering on December 26.

The series follows Sang-ung, an ordinary civil servant who unexpectedly inherits a superpower—one that activates only when he spends money he's holding. As each use drains his cash, the power becomes both a gift and a dilemma, especially as he tries to save up for a newlywed home.

Lee Jun-ho portrays a hero caught between responsibility and reality, blending action with the quiet anxieties of a salaried worker. The character's constant financial tug-of-war adds relatability, while Lee Jun-ho's performance captures the emotional push and pull with nuance and restraint.

The project adds another layer to Lee Jun-ho's steadily expanding acting spectrum. From youth-driven growth stories to historical drama and romantic comedy, he continues to explore diverse genres—this time anchoring a "slice-of-life superhero" narrative.

The production team teased that Cash Hero will showcase a new side of Lee Jun-ho through an unconventional character transformation, inviting viewers to expect both empathy and edge.

Cash Hero, starring Lee Jun-ho, is available globally on Cash Hero starting at 5 p.m. KST on Netflix.
