While "The Man Who Lives with the King" continues to be a box office hit with more than 12 million viewers, attention is also being paid to movie posters, which are important factors that determine the first impression of the work. Behind the poster, which contained the atmosphere and message of the movie in a single image, was the fierce concerns of Park Si-young, the "studio shining."

Park Si-young, CEO of Shinhwa Studio, who worked on the main poster of "The Man Who Lives with the King," said in a written interview with Star News that she had thought a lot about the first image. In the end, his conclusion was 'simple'.

"There is nothing more difficult to image posters than the drama genre," he said. "How will you show your relationship at once. There was no other way to express the relationship between meeting and going through a storm at any one point, not between the rich. I thought a lot about it, but the distributor asked me to go easily. I thought it would be enough to just show the relationship between the two," he said.

Audiences who watched the movie say that the poster featuring Um Heung-do (Yoo Hae-jin) and Lee Hong-wi (Park Ji-hoon) heading somewhere on a raft is actually a "spoiler." This was CEO Park Si-young's intention, and as a result, it started with a question mark and became a choice that led to an exclamation mark.

CEO Park Si-young said, "It's an intended part, but it's an intention created by trying to cover up the shortcomings. I couldn't afford to shoot the poster separately, so I took about an hour during the shoot, he said. "At that time, the showbox marketing team asked Lee Hong-wi to dress him with a royal robe." It is a costume that appears briefly in the movie, and I wondered if the setting worn in Cheongryeongpo (the exile) was right. But the filming had already been done, and I had to work on that image," he said.

"I thought that the scene where Lee Hong-wi crosses the river in a Gonryongpo was not a river where the noble class who had returned crossed, but a river that finally crossed into Eom Heung-do," he said. "After interpreting it like that, I convinced myself even though Lee Hong-wi was wearing a Gonryongpo on a raft and Eom Heung-do was smiling."

In addition, the poster showing the conflicting images of Eom Heung-do and Lee Hong-wi in front of the post of exile focused on naturalness above all else, he said. This is because, unlike the movie, it was necessary to control emotions in the poster.

CEO Park Si-young said, "I had a lot of worries about choosing a subtly awkward and moderately cringe-worthy cut, rather than an actor forcibly posing and saying, 'I'm going to take a poster.' "It was such a desperate relationship that I thought it would not be good to cry and blow the poster in advance," he explained.

He also revealed the highlightable 'details' in the poster. He said, "The original poster does a lot of correction. What's interesting is that actor Park Ji-hoon rarely corrected himself and left wrinkles. When the wrinkles are removed, the sadness disappears. Actor Yoo Hae-jin doesn't usually make corrections. So both actors had incredible facial expressions. There are not many actors who accept it than I thought," he said, expressing his gratitude, especially about Park Ji-hoon, saying, "I feel like a 'movie actor' I haven't seen in a long time." There is an aura," he praised.
