Director Jang Hang-jun, who directed the film 'The King and the Clown', revealed his desires.

The 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards were held on the afternoon of the 8th at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The hosts were broadcaster Shin Dong-yup, actor Park Bo-gum, and singer-actress Suzy.

During the second part's opening talk, MC Shin Dong-yup playfully asked Director Jang Hang-jun, "Would you rather receive the Best Film Award, which everyone would be happy about, or the Best Director Award, which only you would be happy about?"

In response, Jang Hang-jun answered, "Not the Best Director Award, but I want to win the Best Film Award," eliciting laughter.

He then added, "The last time I received a major award was in the sixth grade of elementary school. I won an attendance award. This time, I want to receive a major award."

Yoo Hae-jin, an actor in 'The King and the Clown', who heard this from the side, joked, "I hope Director Jang Hang-jun wins the Best Film Award, not the Best Director Award."
