[TV Report = Reporter Nam Geum-ju] Director Jang Hang-jun shared favorable reviews from critics Yoo Jae-seok and Lee Dong-jin. Director Jang Hang-jun appeared on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘You Quiz’), which aired on the 4th. On this day, Jang Hang-jun, who returned to the movie ‘The Man Who Lives with the King’, appeared. Jang Hang-jun made everyone laugh by saying, "I talked to company officials. I told them that my image was too light and I didn't think it would be helpful in promoting the movie. They also sympathized." Jang Hang-jun joked, "The watchers came again today. I'm afraid I might make a mistake," but added, "But isn't 'You Quiz' any different? I think it's a program that's good for my personal image." When Yoo Jae-seok, who attended the movie preview the day before, asked, "You were a little nervous," Jang Hang-jun confessed, "This is the first time I've been this nervous since a movie was released. To be honest, I'm a little scared(?)." Regarding the reason, Jang Hang-jun revealed Lee Dong-jin's text message, saying, "For the first time since the movie started, favorable reviews poured in. In particular, I never thought the day would come when I was praised by critic Lee Dong-jin, who is a big name in the criticism world." Lee Dong-jin said, ‘It is a film with a powerful power to move the heart. I have a strong feeling that you will enjoy a lot from this work. “Congratulations in advance,” he sent, and Jang Hang-jun was proud as he read each sentence. Yoo Jae-seok also gave a different evaluation than other times. Jang Hang-jun said, “Before, Yoo Jae-seok didn’t talk about his feelings about the movie, but he said, ‘Brother, there’s something this time.’” In response, Yoo Jae-seok said, “I have a feeling that I will become a master this time.” Jang Hang-jun made people laugh by saying, “So I asked, ‘Am I going to succeed too?’ and he said, ‘Let’s stay calm.’” ‘The Man Who Lives with the King’ boasts a brilliant cast including Yoo Hae-jin, Park Ji-hoon, Yoo Ji-tae, Jeon Mi-do, Park Ji-hwan, Lee Jun-hyuk, and Ahn Jae-hong. When Yoo Jae-seok asked, "If the movie doesn't work with these people, wouldn't it be the director's responsibility? Did you feel this kind of pressure?" Jang Hang-jun said, "It was too much. (My wife) Writer Kim Eun-hee told me after the casting. There are no excuses anymore." Jang Hang-jun said, "The anticipation made me lose sleep because of the pressure. So I thought, 'This is what masters are like, am I the only one who didn't know?'" He added, "I thought it was my fault if it didn't work out. Before that, I thought if it didn't work out, it was the audience's fault. It happened because the audience didn't show up," adding to the laughter by honestly saying.
