The tiger CG, once criticized as a flaw in the beloved film 'The King and the Clown,' which has surpassed 16 million cumulative viewers, has been revised.

On the 29th, 'The King and the Clown' was released on OTT (online video streaming services). As the film that sparked a phenomenon in theaters moved to home screens, the revision of the tiger CG in the movie was completed.

Previously, in a broadcast interview, director Jang Hang-jun responded with "the tiger" when asked if there were any regrets. At the time of release, some scenes featuring animals, including the tiger, in 'The King and the Clown' received criticism for inadequate CG, leading to disappointment. Consequently, the tiger in 'The King and the Clown' was also referred to as a "tacky tiger," using a neologism meaning "clumsy or awkward."

Director Jang Hang-jun stated, "We originally planned to release the film in April or May, not during Lunar New Year. However, due to overwhelmingly positive reviews, we were urged to release it during the holiday, which shortened the time available for CG work. Everyone was disappointed, but it was unavoidable."

At that time, director Jang Hang-jun confirmed that the tiger CG scenes were under improvement. He explained, "CG work is ongoing. Since the film will remain on OTT platforms, the CG company expressed a desire to complete it thoroughly. They are working on every single hair."

The revised tiger CG can now be viewed through the OTT release of 'The King and the Clown.'

Starting from the 29th, the film was made available via IPTV (Gini TV, Btv, U+tv), digital cable TV (Studio Choice), OTT (Wave, Apple TV, Coupang Play, Watcha, Google TV, YouTube, etc.), satellite broadcasting (SkyLife), web hard, and other online and mobile platforms. The OTT version of 'The King and the Clown' features enhanced VFX effects for certain scenes compared to the theatrical release. Additionally, the film's end credits include the OST 'Buteo,' a song performed by actress Jeon Mi-do, who played the role of Maehwa and received widespread acclaim for her performance.

Meanwhile, 'The King and the Clown' is a film depicting the story of the young deposed King Danjong, exiled to Cheongnyeongpo in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, in 1457, and the village chief Eom Heung-do.
