Superhero series Cashero rich in meaning for K-star Lee Jun-ho

Singer Lee Jun-ho, a member and main vocalist of K-pop boy band 2PM, has steadily built an equally formidable reputation as an actor, one now synonymous with K-drama success.

From the nationwide sensation The Red Sleeve (2021 to 2022) to King The Land (2023), projects featuring Lee have consistently logged strong viewership. Shortly after its release, King The Land became the second K-drama in Netflix history to rank No. 1 overall on the platform’s weekly global English and non-English TV charts.

Wherever he appears, popularity tends to follow.

Now, Lee returns in Netflix’s latest original series Cashero, adapted from a popular webtoon of the same name.

The eight-episode Cashero centres on Lee Sang-ung, an office worker who unexpectedly acquires a unique superpower: His physical strength increases in direct proportion to the amount of cash he holds in his hands.
