Singer Yoon Jongshin's trademark two-step joking reaction to his close friend Jang Hang-jun's film The King's Warden's box office success is drawing laughter.
Yoon Jongshin earlier posted a congratulatory photo on social media when the film surpassed 6 million viewers and wrote, "I didn't expect it to go this far… how should I act cocky?" His expression, which welcomed his longtime friend's achievement while playfully checking him, brought laughter and once again revealed the close friendship between the two.
Yoon Jongshin and director Jang Hang-jun are well-known close friends in the entertainment industry. An anecdote in which Jang Hang-jun once described Yoon Jongshin as "like the Maltese that Im Bo raised and writer Kim Eun-hee adopted" is often mentioned as a symbolic passage showing their relationship. Yoon Jongshin also attended the VIP screening to cheer on director Jang Hang-jun in person, keeping his loyalty.
This chemistry continued on television. In a pre-release clip of tvN You Quiz on the Block, Yoon Jongshin described director Jang Hang-jun as "the person who lives the best life I've ever seen." He said, "In his 20s he met me and his life was taken care of, and after meeting writer Kim Eun-hee his life was completed, and on top of that he got the film's box office success as a bonus," which provoked laughter.
He went on, "When luck beyond one's station comes, I think there will eventually be an adjustment, and now he has more than his ability," and added, "So I'm actually worried." It was his characteristic manner that mixed jealousy and congratulations toward his close friend. Hearing this, Yu Jae-seok said, "I'm happy for his success, but you can feel a strange emotion," and empathized.
Yoon Jongshin's reaction is drawing greater attention in light of director Jang Hang-jun's recent box office performance. The King's Warden continued to draw audiences after surpassing 6 million viewers, exceeded 8 million, and is currently sailing toward the 9 million mark.
Yoon Jongshin's characteristic "grumbling-style congratulations" for his close friend's success is giving the public another laugh.
