Park Jihoon shares a touching story as his movie 'The King's Warden' passes 6 million viewers.
On the 23rd, the official account of You Quiz on the Block posted a preview clip titled, "From ‘New-Gen Danjong(?)’ Park Jihoon’s behind-the-scenes stories with Yoo Haejin to his impression of Director Jang Hangjun!"
In the video, Park Jihoon showed off his witty charm while talking about how people reacted to the movie's success. Mentioning Director Jang Hangjun’s excitement, he joked, "The director is excited every day. He’s just one step away from becoming a master." He added, "In my heart, he’s already a master," before mimicking the director's voice, saying, "Jihoon-ah, don't act rashly. Don't get too excited and stay calm," which made everyone on set laugh.
He also shared behind-the-scenes stories with co-star Yoo Haejin. When Yoo Jaesuk asked, "I heard Haejin really adores you," Park Jihoon replied, "I think he liked me because I wasn't fake. Even when he said, 'Let’s grab a meal after filming,' I would be honest and say, 'Maybe not today…'" drawing warm reactions.
Park Jihoon then revealed, "I filmed this movie while thinking of my grandmother." He confessed, "She passed away the day after the premiere." He recalled, "My grandmother had dementia, so she couldn't remember me. I wish I could ask her. If she could at least appear in my dreams…"
Meanwhile, on the same day, the distributor Showbox announced that 'The King's Warden' has surpassed 6 million viewers.
Set in Cheongnyeongpo in 1457, 'The King's Warden' tells the story of a village chief who chooses his own place of exile for his town's success, and a young former king who was kicked off the throne and sent into exile. Currently a huge hit, the film reached the 6 million mark faster than historical hits like 'The King and the Clown' and 'The Throne.'
Park Jihoon’s sincere confession will air on the 25th at 8.45 PM (KST).
