While the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" continues to hit 6 million viewers, actor Park Ji-hoon's previous work "The Weak Hero" is also drawing attention.
According to the Korea Film Council's integrated computer network on the 25th, "The Man Who Lives with the King" topped the box office with 194,646 audiences the day before. The cumulative audience is 6,218,972.
On the 20th day of its release, "The Man Who Lives with the King" surpassed 6 million viewers. This is faster than the historical drama "The King's Man" (29th), which received 10 million viewers, and the same box office trend as "The Gwanghae, The Man Who Became the King." Considering this trend of box office success, analysts say that the possibility of "The Man Who Lives with the King" reaching the 10 million mark is sufficient.
Among them, much attention is being paid to Park Ji-hoon, who plays the role of King Danjong Lee Hong-wi. Park Ji-hoon delicately portrayed the anger that gradually condenses and the emotions that explode from the empty gaze of a character who lost everything after being deprived of the throne. He overwhelms the screen with his colorful eyes and is well received by the audience.
He broadened his character with a three-dimensional performance. Director Jang Hang-joon's intention to paint Danjong, who was trapped in the framework of "King of Unlucky," with a new perspective also gained convincing power through Park Ji-hoon's acting.
As Park Ji-hoon's performance has gone viral, his previous work, "Weak Hero," is also attracting attention again. The "Weak Hero" series imprinted Park Ji-hoon as an "actor" rather than a "Wanna One member," and he played the role of model student Yeon Si-eun, drawing complex emotional lines and desperate actions thrown away in detail. The "Weak Hero" series once again proved its existence by re-entering Netflix's "Top 10 Series of Korea today" at No. 10.
Following the "Weak Hero" series, "The Man Who Lives with the King" hit the box office, Park Ji-hoon has once again established his position as an actor, and his interest in him is expected to continue for the time being.
Park Ji-hoon is stepping up filming the drama "Becoming a Food Service Legend," which is scheduled to be released in 2026, and Wanna One's entertainment show, which has gathered again for the first time in about seven years, is also set to be released, so he will meet with fans with a wider range of activities.
