Director Na Hong-jin of "Hoop" responded to broadcaster Yoo Byung-jae's fan gesture.

On the 27th, Yoo Byung-jae posted a short message reading "'Hoop' is fun" on his SNS against a black background.

This was an imitation of BTS Jungkook's post. Earlier that same day, Jungkook also left a comment on his SNS saying "'Hoop' is fun," expressing praise for the film. Following this, Director Na Hong-jin, who directed "Hoop," regrammed the post, drawing attention.

However, Director Na did not regram Yoo Byung-jae's post. In response, on the 28th, the following day, Yoo added a comment saying "Are you sleeping?" which sparked laughter.

Ultimately, Director Na Hong-jin replied to Yoo Byung-jae's fan gesture with a dry comment: "I was trying to sleep, but people keep waking me up because of Byung-jae. What is your business?"

Meanwhile, "Hoop" tells the story of "Beom-seok," the head of the Pohang outpost located in the Demilitarized Zone, who learns from local youths that a tiger has appeared, plunging the entire village into alarm as he encounters an unbelievable reality. The film has surpassed 3.5 million viewers and is receiving strong reactions from audiences who have seen it. In particular, among viewers who have watched the movie, points they want to revisit are being discussed, leading to a second-round frenzy, with so-called "Hwop-chin-ja" (fans deeply connected to the film) appearing frequently.

Yoo Byung-jae also expressed his fan sentiment through his YouTube channel, stating, "'Hoop' is the chameleon of the film industry. It is a work that divides opinions, but it has high artistic integrity. Above all, it generates countless talking points and inspires continuous second and third-round creations."
