“Kim Eun-hee’s Husband” Jang Hang-jun’s Comment on “Korean Women Face Disadvantages; Middle-aged Men Must Continuously Be Aware” Receives Renewed Attention

[My Daily = Reporter Kwang Myung-dong] As the movie ‘The Man Who Lives with the King’ surpasses 13 million viewers and continues its unstoppable box office success, the moment director Jang Hang-jun became famous as ‘Kim Eun-hee’s husband’ is being highlighted once again.

Director Jang Hang-jun appeared on a YouTube channel four years ago and had a conversation with director Jang Kyu-seong of ‘The Teacher Kim Bong-doo’. At that time, when director Jang Kyu-seong asked, “There seems to be no one who dislikes director Jang Hang-jun, why do you think that is?” director Jang replied with a witty anecdote.

He said, “A few years ago, I was co-hosting the Directors Cut Awards with director Bong Man-dae. When director Bong introduced himself with modifiers, I spontaneously said, ‘I am Jang Hang-jun, the husband of writer Kim Eun-hee,’ and the audience’s reaction was explosive” as he recalled.

He further analyzed, “I didn’t expect such a reaction. Many women in Korean society face disadvantages like career interruption. It seems that especially young women liked it.” He also expressed his opinion, adding, “For middle-aged men to live in this era, we need to constantly awaken and change. Aren’t we only nagging? I’ve never seen a good elder in their 50s or 60s.”

In response, director Jang Kyu-seong praised, “Jang Hang-jun’s everyday look and his appearance on broadcasts are always the same. I really like his unchanging nature.” Netizens also sent enthusiastic support, saying, “Director Jang is truly a cool adult with integrity,” and “His mindset is really wholesome.”

Meanwhile, the film ‘The Man Who Lives with the King’ has been praised by audiences as it poignantly depicts the final moments of the dethroned King Danjong (Lee Hong-yi) interacting with the village people, including village chief Eom Heung-do, in the place of exile, Yeongwol.
