Broadcaster Jang Seongkyu worried about director Jang Hang-jun's The King's Warden 10 million audience pledge.
On the 4th, Jang Seongkyu posted on his social media, "Finally saw it. 'The King's Warden' and it has begun. Danjong fever," along with a photo.
In the photo, Jang Seongkyu watched the film The King's Warden directed by Jang Hang-jun at a movie theater. The King's Warden is a film set in 1457 Cheongnyeongpo that tells the story of a village head who volunteered for exile to revive his village and a young deposed former king who was exiled.
According to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) integrated computer network on the 4th, The King's Warden attracted 194,493 viewers on the 3rd and ranked number one at the box office. Cumulative attendance is 9,407,833.
Director Jang Hang-jun appeared on Bae Seong-jae's Ten in January and made a 10 million audience pledge. At the time, Jang Hang-jun said, "It's unlikely to reach 10 million, but if it does, I will change my phone number, change my name and get plastic surgery. I will make sure no one recognizes me," and added, "I'm thinking about naturalizing somewhere else. I will buy a yacht and have a party on board," attracting attention.
Jang Seongkyu said, "I'm worried. Hang-jun hyung's 10 million pledge isn't an ordinary one and 10 million is within reach. He keeps his promises, so I'm even more concerned. Wanting to protect him, I hope the audience stops at 9,990,000."
