Renowned filmmaker Jang Hang-jun, whose recent blockbuster "The King's Warden" captured the attention of more than 10 million viewers, is set to return to the spotlight with a new talk show titled "The Great Hang-jun." This SBS production is a cheeky audition-themed program where the director himself offers unrefusable acting roles to some of the industry's top talent.
Jang, who recently celebrated a national sensation after "The King's Warden" surpassed 16.93 million box office hits, jokingly addressed hosting a show named after himself during a press conference. He quipped, "Just because my name is in the title doesn't mean I feel a heavy burden. My mindset is more like, 'Well, it'll work out somehow.'"
The production team, comprising sharp-witted individuals with prestigious educational backgrounds, played a significant role in making the show a success, according to Jang. He emphasized, "I would’ve been overwhelmed doing this alone, but having Kim Poong and Song Eun-i by my side made it really fun." It is important to clarify, however, that Jang did not direct the show; producer Lee Dong-won spearheaded the project.
