"The King's Warden" Director's Past Remarks Resurface, Triggering Massive Reactions - Koreaboo

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticket sales data on February 24, director Jang Hang Jun's film, The King's Warden, has reached a cumulative audience of over six million views in just 20 days since its release. Holding the top spot at the box office for 11 consecutive days, it has become the year's highest-grossing film so far. With the movie gaining traction, it is highly likely to become a 10-million-viewer film. However, as the movie nears the milestone, the director's remarks on what he will do if it reaches 10 million have begun resurfacing online.

If this movie surpasses 10 million views, which it probably won't. I am going to change my phone number, change my name, and get plastic surgery so that no one can recognize me. I'm even thinking about becoming naturalized in a different country. -- Jang Hang Jun With this, fans expressed excitement, as they told him to prepare to leave the country!

It's something to be happy about, but I'm slowly starting to worry about the director LOL. Instead of doing that, can you take the team on a trip if they hit 10 million? And please film them having a good time on the trip. His wife is scriptwriter Kim Eun Hee...what is he going to do if she doesn't recognize him LOL.

Meanwhile, actor Park Jihoon, who plays the lead role, recently opened up about the dramatic physical transformation he underwent for his role.
