With director Jang Hang-joon on the 10 millionth director's list with the movie "The Man Who Lives With the King" (abbreviated as "The Prince"), the fortune-telling his mother has seen in the past is being re-examined.

At around 6:32 p.m. on the 6th, the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" surpassed 10 million cumulative viewers. It's been 31 days since its release.

"The Man Who Lives with the King" became the fourth historical drama film of 10 million after "The Man of the King," "Gwanghae, the Man Who Became the King" and "Roaring Currents." It also announced the birth of 10 million movies in two years after "The Outlaws 4," which was released in 2024.

While "The Man Who Lives with the King," which features the passionate performances of actors such as Park Ji-hoon, Yoo Hae-jin and Yoo Ji-tae, has surpassed 10 million directors, director Jang Hang-joon's past is also drawing attention once again.

Director Jang Hang-joon appeared on tvN's "YOU QUIZ on the Block" in September 2021 and said, "I was born as a late child at home, so I was full of cuteness, but I really couldn't study. "I cried alone thinking that I was the 'worst child' and 'an ugly life'," he said.

"My mother, who was worried that she was not enough, went through the fortune tellers in downtown Daegu," he said. "Everywhere she went, she said, "This child has no pain in life and is full of happiness." I'm going to make a lot of money that I didn't expect.' She confessed, "My mother said she thought, 'Isn't she crazy?' when she left the fortune teller's shop."

"My mother also said, 'I can't trust my faith,' but a few years ago, she said, 'That fortune teller was right. Wasn't Kim Eun-hee (daughter-in-law) doing well?'" he confessed, drawing laughter.

Meanwhile, "The Man Who Lives with the King" is a movie set in Cheongryeongpo in 1457, about a chief who claimed to be exiled for the revival of the village and a young king, King Danjong, who was expelled from the throne and exiled.
