Director Jang Hang-jun, the acclaimed filmmaker behind the blockbuster hit "The King's Warden," is set to return to television with a new show called "The Great Hang-jun." This SBS talk show revolves around Jang himself, as he proposes "unrefusable offers" to prominent actors. The show debuted amid the recent success of "The King's Warden," which has garnered over 16.93 million viewers.
Jang playfully addressed the self-titled show, saying, "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.'" He attributed the show's production to a quick-witted team with academic backgrounds. Jang emphasized that while he might have felt overwhelmed hosting the show alone, the presence of producers Kim Poong and Song Eun-i made it enjoyable.
The director clarified during a press conference at the Showking K-Pop Center in Seoul that he did not direct "The Great Hang-jun," noting that it is producer Lee Dong-won's creation.
