[Sportschosun reporter Jo Yoon-sun] Director Jang Hang-jun said he has been worrying about something unexpected after The King's Warden became a hit.
On the 16th, KBS 2TV's Problem Child in House released a video titled "A showdown of banter between Korea's leading masters, Yoon Jong-shin and Jang Hang-jun?"
Kim Sook welcomed Jang Hang-jun, who rose to the ranks of a "master director" with the film The King's Warden, saying, "You've returned in glory to 'Problem Child in House.'"
Hearing this, Yoon Jong-shin, a close friend of Jang Hang-jun, joked, "You've lost all that grime. Your round-neck T-shirt used to look like it had been grabbed by the collar once, but I've never seen it this tight before," drawing laughter.
Jang Hang-jun said he has recently been flooded with advertising offers after The King's Warden's success, and added, "I'm not sure it's okay that I've done so many commercials. I think people will start asking me to lend them money everywhere I go."
Yoon Jong-shin then made everyone laugh by revealing, "He used to worry that someone might ask to borrow money from him even when he had no money."
The two then looked back on the days before their debuts, when they talked about their dreams. Jang Hang-jun recalled, "Yoon Jong-shin and I talked about things like, 'What is your dream? What will you do later?'" He added, "Yoon said, 'If you become a director, I'll do the film music.'" Yoon Jong-shin also said emotionally, "I was there when Hang-jun said 'Ready, action' for his first shoot."
But Jang Hang-jun ruined the touching moment with a laugh, saying, "As I remember it, Jong-shin was standing behind me and said, 'Damn, this is tear-jerking. I'm tearing up.'"
Meanwhile, The King's Warden is set in Cheongnyeongpo Cape in 1457 and tells the story of village head Eom Heung-do, played by Yoo Hae-jin, who chose exile to help revive his village, and the young King Danjong, played by Park Ji-hoon, who was driven from the throne and sent into exile. The film drew 16.89 million viewers, ranking second among all-time Korean box office hits and taking the top spot in total revenue among all films at the box office.
