Director Jang Hang-joon revealed Park Ji-hoon, the "Man Who Lives With the King," before entering the work.

SBS News Hunters, which aired on the 11th, featured director Jang Hang-joon of the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King."

On this day, coach Jang Hang-joon recalled his first meeting with Park Ji-hoon, who played the role of Danjong in "The Man Who Lives with the King."

Director Jang Hang-joon said, "(The drama starring Park Ji-hoon) I suggested that I wanted to meet him after watching "The Weak Hero," and added, "But (Park Ji-hoon) came out without any intention of making a big deal." I gained a lot of weight. You looked like a very handsome Doraemon. I wanted a sharp feeling, but that's how it came out."

He continued, "But I thought I should persuade him first. I met him for the fourth time, and he accepted me then. I lost weight after that, but I lost weight in a short period of time. I couldn't exercise because I was afraid that my muscles would stick and I lost weight purely through diet," he explained.

In addition, coach Jang Hang-joon gave praise to Park Ji-hoon. Regarding Park Ji-hoon, he said, "There are deep eyes and inner skills that are difficult for an actor in his 20s to have. There is a simmering sadness and anger inside, he said. "That's a very difficult act for people in their 20s to do, but they did it for me."

Meanwhile, "The Man Who Lives with the King" exceeded 12 million cumulative viewers on the day.
