The "10 million audience pledge" that director Jang Hang-joon of the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" is attracting attention again with the rise in box office.

Director Jang Hang-joon appeared on SBS Radio Power FM 'Bae Sung-jae's Ten' in January and mentioned the pledge of 10 million viewers.

At the time, director Jang said, "There are many movies that will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday. On the other hand, it is more important for everyone to break even and revive the theater again than to exceed 10 million."

Nevertheless, Bae Sung-jae asked, "Will you come out again if it's 10 million?" and coach Jang Hang-joon waved, "No, 10 million is not that easy."

Regarding the 10 million pledge, he said, "It can't be 10 million, but if it happens, I will change my phone number, change my name, and get plastic surgery. No one recognizes me," he said. "I'm thinking about where I'll naturalize." I hope you don't find me," he said.

In addition, he said, "I'm thinking of buying a yacht," and added, "So I'm going to have a onboard party. I have no choice but to eat lobster on the yacht, and the chef is also on board," he said, drawing laughter.

When asked about the 5 million audience and the director's award, Jang Hang-joon said, "The director's award doesn't mean much. The reason why directors want to break even is because I don't want people who trust me and invest in me to lose money, and I want to prove that I was right to the actors and staff who trusted me and chose me," he said.

According to the Korea Film Council's integrated computer network as of the 26th, "The Man Who Lives with the King" mobilized 309,547 people a day on the 25th to maintain its No. 1 position at the box office. The cumulative audience is 6,528,519. It hit 3 million on the 14th day of its release, breaking the break-even point, and is running at a scary speed toward the "10 million movie."

As a result, director Jang Hang-joon's inadvertent pledge of 10 million viewers is being re-examined. His best friend, singer Yoon Jong-shin, was also worried about his misbehavior, but as the box office trend is unusual, some say that there may be a situation where he has to keep his promise. Expectations are high whether "The Man Who Lives with the King" will become the first 10 million movie this year.

"The Man Who Lives with the King" tells the story of the village's young king Danjong (Park Ji-hoon), who was expelled from the throne and exiled from Cheongryeongpo in 1457, Eom Heung-do (Yoo Hae-jin), the chief who claimed to be a exile for the revival of the village. Actors Park Ji-hoon and Yoo Hae-jin, as well as Yoo Ji-tae, Jeon Mi-do, Kim Min, Park Ji-hwan, and Lee Joon-hyuk.
