MBC's 'Radio Star', which will be broadcast on the night of Wednesday the 18th, will feature a special feature called 'Friends Biting Their Tails' featuring Jang Hang-jun, Song Eun-i, Jang Hyun-seong, and Kim Poong. Jang Hang-jun, a former entertainment writer, brings laughter by predicting an 'irrational talk' in which the obsession with "must be funny" reaches its peak.
Director Jang Hang-jun, who has the second-highest number of views on the 'Las' YouTube clip of all time, will appear on 'Radio Star' with his close friends. In response to the words of Kwon Il-yong, Korea's first profiler, who appeared on 'Las' and said, "Jang Hang-jun is scarier than a psychopath," Jang Hang-jun said, "After hearing Il-yong's comment, I thought he was a good broadcaster and entertainer," but added, "Il-yong is more scary than a psychopath." When I talk to this guy, I feel tired. It is said that he surprised everyone by changing his words by saying, “I rather avoid private conversations with my brother.”
Director Jang Hang-jun is preparing to release 'Open the Door' in the second half of this year, following 'Rebound' in the first half of this year. Song Eun-i, the CEO of the agency in charge of co-producing ‘Open the Door’, said, “If Bong Joon-ho has a Bong tail, (Jang Hang-jun) has a Jang tail. “There is something I always insist on,” he said, referring to Jang Hang-jun’s ‘genius at his job’ moment. His close friend Jang Hyun-seong also added the rumor among film students that Jang Hang-jun has become a wannabe director who beat Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho. Jang Hang-jun added, “I was imitating director Bong Joon-ho,” raising curiosity about the story.
Meanwhile, Jang Hang-jun adds a funny story from actor Kang Ha-neul, who is known as a 'good story maker'. He expressed his gratitude by saying, “Kang Ha-neul has the record for the largest number of coffee trucks.” When Jang Hang-jun was booed by saying that the reason for his obsession with coffee trucks was “welfare for the staff,” Song Eun-i, the representative of the agency, said, “Director Jang Hang-jun is known as a beggar in the entertainment industry, but he is a generous person to the staff.”
Jang Hang-Jun also reveals the reason why he was called the 'Seoul Institute of the Arts' and the story of his cinematic debut as a director. Song Eun-i, who heard the movie-like debut story of Jang Hang-jun, a ‘honey seller’ in the film industry, stuck out her tongue and said, “What a blessing.” Jang Hang-jun also made people laugh by proudly boasting about himself, saying, “When I go out on the field, I monopolize everyone’s love.”
Director Jang Hang-jun also reveals the reason why he became embroiled in separation rumors with writer Kim Eun-hee. Jang Hang-jun, who is said to be living alone with his mother-in-law, conveyed his mother-in-law's love for his son-in-law, and it is said that he made everyone laugh by adding an anecdote, "One time, my mother-in-law said, 'Jang Seobang was having an affair...' (she was worried)."
Episodes of Jang Hang-jun's obsession with laughter, including the full story of his separation from writer Kim Eun-hee and the beautiful story of Kang Ha-neul, can be seen on 'Radio Star', which will air on the 18th.
