Yoo Hae-jin of "The Man Who Lives with the King" played the character and revealed the main part.
On the 21st, a press distribution preview of the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" (director Jang Hang-joon) was held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Director Jang Hang-joon and actor Yoo Hae-jin, Park Ji-hoon, Yoo Ji-tae, and Kim Min-mi, former director of the show, attended the meeting to talk about various things.
"The Man Who Lives with the King" is the story of Cheongryeongpo in 1457, a village chief who claimed to be exiled for the revival of the village, and a young predecessor who was expelled from the throne and exiled.
Yoo Hae-jin plays Um Heung-do, the chief of Gwangcheongol, where King Danjong came to exile. He said, "I didn't prepare anything in particular, and I didn't think I should focus on anything. The sadness or warmth that I vaguely thought after reading the scenario naturally permeated the scene. Later, there was a scene where I watched Danjong play water by the river, and I felt the parents' heart to see their young children. I think it was the most important to express the desire to understand Danjong," he explained.
Director Jang Hang-joon said of Yoo Hae-jin's casting, "As I write it, I want to emphasize the humanity of Um Heung-do, and I wanted to emphasize a friendly rural person, and I worked on the scenario for a long time thinking about Yoo Hae-jin," adding, "Thank you so much for giving me much more life than I thought in the script." When I accepted the casting, I said, "I really appreciated it."
He added, "When this scenario came out, I decided to give it to Yoo Hae-jin, and when I gave it to him with a pounding heart, he said he wanted to do this, so the production team sang a delightful song." Yoo Hae-jin laughed when he answered, "Was I so light?" to the evaluation that it reminded him of coach Jang Hang-joon.
