On 'Questions from Sohn Seok-hee 4', director Jang Hang-jun expressed a stunned reaction to the record-breaking success of the film 'The Man Who Became King'.
On the 18th broadcast of MBC's 'Questions from Sohn Seok-hee 4', director Jang Hang-jun, who reached the prime of his directing career with 'The King's Warden', and actor Yoo Hai Jin, who demonstrated remarkable box office drawing power by delivering his fifth film to reach 10 million admissions as a lead, appeared as guests.
The film 'The King's Warden' surpassed 13.72 million admissions as of the day of the broadcast, marking a milestone in Korean film history, and host Sohn Seok-hee turned to director Jang and said, "You probably couldn't imagine numbers exceeding 10 million," expressing astonishment. To this, Jang Hang-jun replied, "I can barely imagine 1.4 million, it's not easy," offering a humble yet witty response that drew laughter.
Sohn Seok-hee referred to director Ryoo Seung-wan, who had appeared previously, saying, "He readily said we were outmatched." Hearing this, Jang Hang-jun said he received a text directly from Ryoo Seung-wan and relayed that he received a humorous congratulatory message, "Congratulations on 10 million. I slipped up myself," which sent the studio into peals of laughter.
Jang Hang-jun then introduced the long text message sent by director Ryoo. Jang Hang-jun added that Ryoo Seung-wan conveyed sincere congratulations with the gist, "This is a good thing for Korean film and it feels like theaters are coming back to life after a long time. It seems possible to keep making films for a long time."
