Wavve original series ONE: High School Heroes, featuring Lee Jung-ha, unveiled episodes 5 and 6 on Friday, June 6, 2025. ONE: High School Heroes tells the story of two young students, Kim Eui-gyeom (Lee Jung-ha) and Kang Yun-ki (Kim Do-wan), wearing red masks in a battle against high school bullying and violence.
In episode 5 of ONE: High School Heroes, Nam Seung-sik spreads a rumor through Choi Hong-il that the new kid, Lee Geol-jae (Yuk Jun-seo), wants to cause a ruckus and take over the school. Kim Eui-gyeom and Kang Yun-ki are positive about getting into a fight and winning against Lee Geol-jae.
As the two friends confront him on the rooftop, Lee Geol-jae says that he wants to attend school without getting in any trouble. He further said that he did not get into a fight with Nam Seung-sik but tried to stop him. Kim Eui-gyeom said that he is different from the likes of Nam Seung-sik and only goes after bad kids. Lee Geol-jae questioned him about how he concluded whether a student is good or bad.
Kang Yun-ki recognizes him and stops Kim Eui-gyeom from going further, warning him that he would not be able to handle Lee Geol-jae. Kang Yun-ki reveals that he went to a school where the authorities made a system where students had to find and earn high ranks.
If the students didn't adhere to the rules, they became victims of violence. Lee Geol-jae had to beat up all the students for a high rank, which was the only way for him to transfer out. Kim Eui-gyeom doesn't go after Lee Geol-jae as he learns his story.
