A heartwarming story about Park Jihoon, who became a '10-million viewer actor' with the film The King's Warden, surfaced belatedly.
On the 17th, a dermatologist posted a write-up on social media revealing an anecdote with Park Jihoon.
The doctor said, "Seeing it again, actor Park, a 10-million viewer actor. He visited a few days before the release and returned about a month later as a 10-million viewer actor," adding, "We are grateful that he came to our humble clinic, but I am leaving this post because there is a good deed I really want to share."
He went on, "A few months ago, due to internal hospital circumstances the treatment costs rose much more than expected, and the managers were in a fluster," and "Park Jihoon, having learned of this belatedly, paid all of the managers' treatment expenses," he said.
He added, "Since then he has visited with his managers whenever he has time," and "Coming from an experience of encountering negative cases between celebrities and their managers, it felt warm on a human level."
The posted write-up quickly spread online and drew attention. Netizens reacted with comments such as, "Danjong even takes care of his people's medical expenses," "No wonder he became a 10-million viewer actor," and "Stories like this should be more widely known," expressing their favor toward Park Jihoon.
Meanwhile, the film The King's Warden, in which Park Jihoon appears, is set in 1457 at Cheongnyeongpo and tells the story of a village head who chose exile for the revival of his village and the young deposed king Danjong. Park Jihoon plays Danjong, Lee Hongwi, and has received praise for his delicate acting.
According to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) integrated computer network, The King's Warden has surpassed a cumulative audience of 13.6 million and continues its box office success.<
