Director Jang Hang-joon of the movie "The Man Who Lives With the King" commented on the 10 million pledge.

On the 4th, the YouTube channel "SBS Radio Erao" pre-released the recording that preceded the main broadcast of SBS Power FM "Bae Sung-jae's Ten" live. Director Jang Hang-joon and filmmaker Jang Won-seok appeared as guests on the show.

After the success of "The Man Who Lives With the King," Jang Hang-jun said, "These days, I recognize even if I wear a mask. I often take the subway, but I recognize it even if I wear a mask, he said. "If I find out, I can't go because it can harm the theater viewing environment by saying hello."

Director Park Chan-wook texted me a few days ago. Congratulations. I said, "I'm grateful that you did such a big job, and you did something worth applauding," he said. "I said, 'I'm getting compliments from the director all my life.' It was an honor to be praised by a master."

In particular, he corrected the aforementioned ten million pledge. In January, he appeared on "Bae Sung-jae's Ten" and pledged to change his name, plastic surgery, and cruise ship parties.

He said, "I can't believe it. I was frustrated because the score on the first day was so poor. I appreciate the attention, but I was wondering if it was newsworthy. Of course, I didn't think it would be 10 million, he explained. "I asked if I should go over the break-even point, but I just tried to laugh because I told him to make a promise."

In addition, "It's very burdensome, and the production company has a countermeasure meeting." What would have happened if I said, "I would give half of my entire fortune?" and added, "If I get plastic surgery, I want to redesign the whole thing." I got hundreds of calls from acquaintances saying they wanted to say hello before changing their name and changing their phone number. He is being ridiculed as a group."

Then, he said, "How can we live by protecting everything between us. There's no one like that in the world. Jesus Christ? Sakyamuni? That's about it," he said, causing laughter. Instead of making a pledge, he said he is preparing a coffee car event in downtown Seoul for citizens.

Meanwhile, Jang Hang-joon's film "The Man Who Lives with the King" was released on the 4th of last month and is currently looking at more than 10 million viewers, exceeding 9.4 million.
