Director Jang Hang-jun returns as a storyteller for 'Kkori Kko Mu' after six years.

The SBS program 'Stories That Follow Each Other Day by Day' (directed by Ahn Yoo-tae, Lee Keun-byul, and Moon Chi-young, hereinafter 'Kkori Kko Mu'), airing on the 6th, will feature a special historical episode titled 'Hongwi, Nosan, Danjong: In Search of the King's Name'. For this historical special, director Jang Hang-jun, who was active as one of the original storytellers in the early days of 'Kkori Kko Mu', makes a triumphant return.

He transforms into a storyteller, replacing actor Jang Hyun-seong. Jang Hyun-seong moves to the role of listener. Notably, director Jang Hang-jun and actor Jang Hyun-seong previously collaborated as director and actor in the film 'The Man Who Lives with the King' (hereinafter 'The Man Who Lives with the King'), which moved 16.91 million viewers, drawing further attention.

This historical special, which will feature the first story set in the Joseon Dynasty on 'Kkori Kko Mu', gains additional significance through the tale of King Danjong. Director Jang Hang-jun, who directed 'The Man Who Lives with the King' about Danjong's life, is reported to have been deeply moved and repeatedly choked up, saying, "Even when I watch it again, I feel solemn."

It will be revealed why King Munjong, who was perfectly prepared as a ruler, was expected to be 'Sejong Season 2', what circumstances led young Danjong, who ascended the throne at just 12 years old, to inevitably feel loneliness in his childhood, and other related anecdotes.

Furthermore, the narrative of King Danjong is expected to unfold continuously, covering the story of Crown Prince Suyang, who revealed his ambition for the throne and joined forces with Han Myeong-hoe; Kim Jong-seo, who protected Danjong until the end; and the death of Prince Geumseong.

Additionally, stories about Eom Heung-do, who recovered King Danjong's remains, along with the 'Yoo Hae-jin Pine Tree' located in Yeongwol, will be shared. Along with behind-the-scenes details that could not be fully included in 'The Man Who Lives with the King', director Jang Hang-jun is set to reveal the reasons why he directed 'The Man Who Lives with the King', raising expectations.
