"The Man Who Lives with the King" surpassed 4 million cumulative moviegoers, and a cheerful "power trip photo" revealed by the staff is bringing laughs.
On the 18th, the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" staff account uploaded a post saying "The Man Who Lives with the King 4 million commemorative reveal!!" along with a photo.
The released photo captured the filming site of "The Man Who Lives with the King." In particular, director Jang Hang-jun was photographed sitting with his legs crossed on a chair placed on the stairs, wagging a finger, and below him a staff member was shown kneeling with bowed head, drawing attention.
The staff delivered a twist that made people laugh, saying it was a "master director Jang Hang-jun power trip photo" and "he gathered the directing team, made them kneel, and said he would pay for travel expenses and that if they did not go to Europe with him he would sentence them to death."
The photo appears to have been a staged directorial shot agreed upon in advance. Contrary to the extreme term "power trip," the warm message "I'll pay for your travel expenses, so please go with me to Europe" made viewers smile.
In fact, director Jang Hang-jun is known to have traveled to Italy with lead actor Ahn Jaehong and the directing team and other staff during the filming of the 2023-released movie "Rebound." At that time, director Jang Hang-jun also reportedly covered all costs from airfare to lodging and meals.
Netizens, moved by his apparent affection for his team members, left witty comments such as "I'll kneel too," "supporting the master's travel-encouragement power trip," "let's punish them to reach 5 million," and "I didn't see Jang Hang-jun that way, why did he leave me out," adding to the amusement.
Meanwhile, "The Man Who Lives with the King," which opened on the 4th, is a film about a village head who volunteered for exile for the revival of the village at Cheongnyeongpo in the 457th year and the young former king who was chased from the throne and exiled. It is currently showing to acclaim in theaters.
