"The Man Who Lives with the King" (director Jang Hang-jun) is set in Cheongryeongpo in 1457, and tells the story of a chief who claimed to be exiled for the revival of the village and a young predecessor who was expelled from the throne and exiled.

"The Man Who Lives with the King" was the first 10 million movie in 2026 and was on the list of 10 million movies about two years after "The Outlaws 4" (2024). It is the 34th record of all time and the 25th record for a Korean movie. It is the fourth historical drama film after "The King's Man" (2005), "The Gwanghae, the Man Who Became the King" (2012), and "The Roaring Currents (2014). Yoo Hae-jin added 10 million movies to her filmography for the fifth time after "The King's Man," "Veteran," "Taxi Driver" and "The Tomb." Through this film, Park Ji-hoon won the 10 million actor title with his first feature film debut.

"The Man Who Lives with the King" surpassed 13 million cumulative viewers, surpassing "Seoul Spring," which recorded 13.12 million cumulative visitors, ranking ninth in the box office. With more than 500,000 viewers watching on Saturday, it is likely to aim for the number of viewers to surpass 14 million to 15 million at the current box office rate.

13 million viewers cried and laughed together at the story of the movie, which tells the story of King Danjong, focusing on his relationship with Um Heung-do, a real person in history.

Since the movie's '10 million mark,' the buzz has continued. Director Jang Hang-joon prepared 2,000 cups of coffee and shared it with the audience instead of pledges of "Formation" and "Reformation," and it was heard that the tiger CG, which was pointed out as the tee of the jade in the movie, is currently being reworked.

Although the "plagiarism controversy" arose in conjunction with the movie's success, the production company said it was "groundless" and that it was willing to take legal action, and the movie continues to be a box office hit amid the audience's interest.

The success of "The Man Who Lives with the King" has a special meaning for the movie industry. It served as a welcome rain for the movie industry, which is suffering from severe drought, and brought many audiences to the theater for the first time in a long time. In particular, Jang Hang-joon, a director who is friendly to the public, Yoo Hae-jin, a national actor, and Park Ji-hoon, a new face, create synergy, and the whole nation is watching the 10 million mark of "Wangsa-nam" in a festive atmosphere.

Attention is focusing on how far the success of "The Man Who Lives with the King" will continue.
