Director Jang Hang-jun revealed that the reason he changed after becoming a "million-director" is due to advice from his wife, screenwriter Kim Eun-hee.

On the 19th episode of JTBC's variety show "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator," Park Jin-young and Director Jang Hang-jun appeared as guests.

That day, MC Kim Sung-ju said, "I received a tip from one of Director Jang Hang-jun's closest associates: 'Jang Hang-jun has become a million-director and turned into someone else.' What does this mean, Mr. Kim Pung?"

Kim Pung replied, "In the past, whenever Director Jang Hang-jun said he was going to a drinking party, we would wait for that day eagerly. He was so funny when he went." He added, "It was truly like stand-up comedy. He even danced the rabbit dance, performed in musical shows, sang songs—it was no joke."

He continued, "But I think it started after he surpassed 6 million viewers. His drinking parties suddenly became less fun," which drew laughter from the audience.

Explaining the reason for his change, Jang Hang-jun said, "My wife, screenwriter Kim Eun-hee, is a very fearful person." He added, "She always tells me, 'Oppa, be careful what you say when you go out. People may seem to be enthusiastic about you now, but if you slip up even once, something terrible could happen.'"

He further explained, "Whenever I speak somewhere, I always say, 'I hold a flower in one hand and a stone in the other.' When I throw flowers, I do so with overwhelming generosity, but at some point, if I slip up, stones from people who don't even know my story start flying at me."

He then said, "Kim Eun-hee tells me, 'Oppa tends to act recklessly and carelessly, which can definitely cause problems.' Because of this, I've started holding back my words, thinking, 'What if I say something unnecessary and get into big trouble?'"

Adding that people around him now complain, "He's become boring," he shared, drawing more laughter.
