Director Jang Hang-joon confessed his hope that "The Man Who Lives with the King" will be forgotten soon.

Jang Hang-joon, director of the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King," appeared on MBC's "News Desk," which aired on the 11th.

On this day, director Jang Hang-joon expressed his feelings about the creation of 10 million movies in two years. He said, "I didn't expect to love it all over the country. The opening score on the first day was also quite bad. It was half the score I expected. "I can't get beyond the break-even point." I despaired. But it was very strange because the audience started to rise from that parking weekend," he said.

In addition, director Jang Hang-joon expressed his feelings about the current situation, which exceeded 10 million, saying, "It's a very unrealistic, animation-like situation." Then, he confessed, "I hope (the man living with the king) will be forgotten soon."

"I hope there will be a movie that can say that we cannot talk about 2026 without discussing the next film," he said. "Then, I think our film industry and Korean pop culture can take off again."

Meanwhile, "The Man Who Lives with the King" that tells the story of young King Danjong and village chief Um Heung-do, who were exiled to Cheongryeongpo, Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon-do in 1457, exceeded 12 million cumulative viewers on the day.
