While the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" (director Jang Hang-joon) is embroiled in suspicion of plagiarizing the scenario, it is known that he will not receive a proof of content from the bereaved family yet.
MBN reported on the 9th that the scenario of the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" was similar to that of the drama. According to reports, the bereaved family of the theater actor A, who died in 2019, raised a plagiarism theory, saying that the draft scenario written by A for the production of the drama "Eomheungdo" in the 2000s and the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" are quite similar.
A is the 31st generation of Eom Heung-do, and he submitted the drama scenario to broadcasters, but it was not produced. The bereaved family explained that even a year before A's death, he had submitted the scenario to a broadcaster competition, pointing out that "The Man Who Lives with the King" is similar to fiction in the work. The bereaved family said that if the original author was correct, he would like his name to be on the work and sent a certificate of content to the production company asking for clarification on the details of the scenario creation and the source of the data.
In the meantime, the production company of "The Man Who Lives with the King" said that the claim is groundless. An official said, "We have not received any certificates of contents so far."
Production company OndaWorks issued an official statement and said, "The Man Who Lives with the King" is a pure creation based on historical facts, and the entire process of creation is recorded in detail and can be proved. Based on historical figures and events, there may be creations that claim similarity, but there is no path or causality of encountering the work in the creative process, and there is no plagiarism of other works in the planning, development, and production process." "The allegations of plagiarism are groundless, and we will respond firmly to these claims in all processes, including legal procedures," he said.
While "The Man Who Lives with the King," which is cruising at the box office with more than 10 million viewers, has met a reef of suspicion of plagiarism, attention is being paid to how the problem will be solved.
