Actor Yoo Ji-tae said, "It's the most successful movie of my acting life" in the box office of "The Man Who Lives with the King."
On the 25th, SBS's "Nightline" featured Yoo Ji-tae, who showed overwhelming charisma as Han Myeong-hoe, the most powerful person in Joseon, in the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" (director Jang Hang-joon).
On this day, Yoo Ji-tae said about the 6 million audience of "The Man Who Lives with the King," "It is the most successful work I have done in my 30 years as an actor. The same goes for director Jang Hang-joon, and I'm so happy. The Korean film industry was struggling, but I'm grateful that it was a box office success," he said.
As for the secret to its success, he said, "I think 'The Man Who Lives with the King' is a movie that can be sympathized with, so it is loved a lot. The director coordinated (the story) well, and I think the actors' passion for acting and sincerity were well conveyed," he said.
Yoo Ji-tae confessed that he felt pressured to play the role of Han Myeong-hoe, a historical figure. He explained, "The people who have acted in the Han Myung-hoe have excellent acting skills, so I thought I should do well in acting," but added, "When filming a movie, the functionality of commercial movies should be emphasized because it is not about making data of real people, and there was a sense of mission to express the evil person well in this movie."
He added, "I thought I should capture the layers and texture of emotions well because if I emphasize too much functionality when expressing a villain, the charm or fun of the character itself may decrease."
Meanwhile, "The Man Who Lives with the King" is a film about 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. Currently, it has attracted 6.21 million viewers, continuing its popularity.
