Yoo Jae-suk attends a screening alone without a manager, drawing praise... "I've never seen a celebrity come alone"

[Sportschosun Jo Yoon-sun Reporter] Yoo Jae-suk shared an anecdote about attending a screening of director Jang Hang-jun's film "The King's Warden" all by himself.

On the 13th, the Happy Together YouTube channel released a video titled "Happy Together with a Man Who Lives with It, First Reveal of the Thick-Rimmed Trio."

The video showed Yoo Jae-suk, Jang Hang-jun, and Yoon Jong-shin, who appeared as MCs for the six-year comeback project "Happy Together: Glad Not to Be Alone," holding a pre-meeting and having a candid conversation as close friends.

That day, Yoo Jae-suk greeted Jang Hang-jun, who had risen to the ranks of a master director with the film "The King's Warden" (hereinafter "The King's Warden"), saying, "Congratulations on surpassing 16.89 million viewers."

In response, Jang Hang-jun expressed his gratitude, saying, "When 'The King's Warden' was released, Jae-suk really put a lot of heart into it in many ways. I think that became a crucial starting point for its success. 'You Quiz on the Block' also aired on the day the film opened."

Yoo Jae-suk said, "It wasn't intentional, but it happened to work out really well," adding, "I also went to the screening and watched it." Jang Hang-jun then expressed his surprise, saying, "It was the first time I'd seen a celebrity come and go alone without a manager."

Yoo Jae-suk said, "I went alone to watch it, and it felt different. The people sitting next to me cried. I was sad too, but I watched the audience's reactions while identifying with Hang-jun hyung, rather than as a viewer myself."

Jang Hang-jun recalled, "Before the release, Jae-suk kept saying, 'This time feels different. The signs are different.' It was the first time I'd ever heard something like that."

Yoo Jae-suk said, "Honestly, I thought it could surpass 5 million, but I never expected it to go beyond 16 million. Your life has changed," expressing his joy as if it were his own.
