Model and entertainer Han Hye Jin shared a hilarious reason why she still hasn’t seen the movie ‘The King and the Man’, leaving everyone in stitches.
On the 14th, a video titled “I prepared a meal friend, dishwashing friend” was uploaded to Han Hye Jin’s YouTube channel.
In the video, Han Hye Jin enjoyed a meal and chatted about movies with entertainer Pungja and comedian Um Ji Yoon. While discussing recent films, Um Ji Yoon mentioned that she really enjoyed ‘The King and the Man’.
Um Ji Yoon shared her deep immersion, saying, “Maybe it’s because I’m a descendant of Um Heung-do, but I started crying as soon as it began.” Han Hye Jin shot back with, “I’m a descendant of Han Myeong-hoe, so I just couldn’t watch it,” turning the set into a sea of laughter.
It is known that Um Ji Yoon is from the Yeongwol Um clan and Han Hye Jin is from the Cheongju Han clan. The two continued an unexpected “descendant immersion talk” regarding the historical background of the movie.
The studio fell into a brief silence at Han Hye Jin’s unexpected reaction, and Pungja added to the laughter by pointing out, “Unnie, you’re only saying that because you haven’t seen the movie.”
However, Han Hye Jin remained unfazed, seriously insisting, “This is history, so I know it even without watching.” She then added, “I’ll watch it when the VOD is released,” making everyone burst into laughter once again.
At the end of the video, a caption appeared revealing that Han Hye Jin actually watched ‘The King and the Man’ after filming ended, sparking more laughs.
Meanwhile, ‘The King and the Man’ is a work that surpassed 16.8 million viewers upon release, recording the second-highest box office hit of all time. Directed by Jang Hang-jun, the film was recognized for both its artistic quality and popular appeal.
