Director Jang Hang-jun and Actor Yoo Hae-jin to Appear on MBC's 'Son Seok-hee's Questions'

The film 'The King and the Clown,' which has surpassed 13 million viewers, will feature its director Jang Hang-jun and actor Yoo Hae-jin on MBC's 'Son Seok-hee's Questions.'

Since its release on February 4th, 'The King and the Clown' has generated an abundance of stories in less than a month and a half. The historical narrative of the so-called 'Danjong Tragedy,' combined with the personal stories of director Jang Hang-jun and actor Yoo Hae-jin, has been a crucial factor in the film's unexpected success.

The director, who had faced repeated failures, teamed up with an actor who had been part of four films with over 10 million viewers, yet never in the spotlight, to revive the failed history of Danjong. The public has embraced this narrative as a 'success,' a story that could only be crafted by 'The King and the Clown.'

The two first met in Jang Hang-jun's debut film 'Turn on the Lighter' over 20 years ago, and have reunited to create a film that has drawn 13 million viewers, a feat no one anticipated. The film continues its strong performance, and the final audience count remains unknown. As director Jang surpassed 10 million viewers, he was inundated with interviews, and host Son Seok-hee admitted to struggling to find questions that hadn't been asked, drawing attention.

Director Jang Hang-jun and actor Yoo Hae-jin's joint appearance on 'Son Seok-hee's Questions' will air on the 18th at 9 PM.
