Earlier, director Jang Hang-joon appeared on SBS Power FM's Bae Sung-jae's Ten shortly after the release of "The Man Who Lives with the King" and said, "I will change my phone number, change my name, and get plastic surgery first. I'm thinking about naturalizing elsewhere," he said, drawing attention by making a pledge of 10 million won.

After actually exceeding 10 million viewers, he appeared on the same program and said, "I was just saying it to be funny. He changed his pledge, saying, "There is no one in the world to protect it all," and "As an alternative, we will hold a coffee car event for citizens in the city."

Meanwhile, "The Man Who Lives with the King" is the story of 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. It became the first 10 million movie in 2026 and the first 10 million movie in about two years since "The Outlaws 4" (2024). It is the 34th record in history and the 25th record of a Korean movie, surpassing 12 million viewers as of that day, and is on an unstoppable box office run.
