Actor Park Ji-hoon of "The Man Who Lives With the King" communicated with the public with an honest talk.
Park Ji-hoon appeared on tvN's "YOU QUIZ on the Block," which aired on the 25th. In addition to Park Ji-hoon, "YOU QUIZ on the Block" featured Professor Jang Hyung-woo, a doctor who escaped from high obesity by losing 38kg, Heo Yong-yoon from 4Minute who found simple happiness in Bali, and Kim Sang-gyeom, a snowboard medalist, and recorded a 4.9% viewer rating (based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide paid households).
On this day, Park Ji-hoon appeared as the main character of Danjong syndrome, which attracted 6 million viewers in the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King." Park Ji-hoon showed humility in his movie's box office speech, saying, "It's my first time watching a commercial movie, so I didn't think it would surpass 1 million this fast." At the same time, he said, "It's thanks to director Jang Hang-joon and senior Yoo Hae-jin. "A master in my heart," he sensibly replied, creating a pleasant atmosphere from the beginning.
On the other hand, Park Ji-hoon revealed the behind-the-scenes story that he couldn't immediately respond to director Jang Hang-joon's casting. Park Ji-hoon said, "I still have a lot of doubts about my acting, but I think I thought about whether I could understand the heart of Danjong, who was the king of bad luck."
Park Ji-hoon then surprised everyone by saying that he ate only one apple every day for two months ahead of the movie shooting. Park Ji-hoon showed sincerity in his role, saying, "I wanted to capture the painful process of exile in my face, so I lost weight hard." Park Ji-hoon also explained the details of Danjong's research, saying, "I tried to do external things, but I thought the change of voice was important."
Regarding rumors that he and Yoo Hae-jin were together like father and son at the scene, Park Ji-hoon said, "I think they liked me because I'm not an empty talk or pretentious person," and added, "I should go up and say sorry even if I told them to eat afterwards." Rather, he added, "I think you trusted me to not say empty words," drawing laughter.
Since then, Park Ji-hoon has proved all his potential as an all-around artist by telling stories about his time as a Wanna One group to meet "The Man Who Lives with the King," "The Weak Hero Class 1 and 2," which expanded his feet as an actor, and the movie "The World's Beautiful Audrey," which he took while thinking about his late grandmother.
Meanwhile, Park Ji-hoon, who captivated the screen with "The Man Who Lives with the King," is planning to visit the small screen through the original TVing series "Becoming a Drifter Legend," which will be released in the first half of this year.
