Comedian Myung-soo Park praised director Hang-jun Jang—who helmed the 12-million-viewer film The King's Warden—for his outstanding character.

On the March 13 broadcast of KBS CoolFM's Park Myung-soo's Radio Show (hereafter 'Radio Show'), TV personality Min-gi Jeon joined as a guest for the 'Search N Chart' segment. Park shared that he had recently spoken with Jang on the phone and highly praised his character.

Park said, "I talked to Hang-jun Jang the other day," adding, "He promised to appear on 'Radio Show' around May." He continued, "I've watched him for a long time, and he's genuinely kind. We talk on the phone from time to time, and I always feel he has a great personality."

Park pointed to Jang's kindness and consistency as the secrets to his success. Park emphasized, "Because he's kind, he gets that one opportunity. It's not just luck—he works steadily, and good things happened because he's a good person." He added, "He's someone who deserves every blessing."

He also agreed with Jang's advice. Park said, "Hang-jun once told me, 'Don't try to be good—try to last,'" adding, "I think that's right. Rather than trying to be perfect, I try to keep going for the long haul."

Toward the end, Park joked about his own personality. He said, "I think I also get opportunities because I'm kind," adding with a laugh, "Maybe I get a lot of chances because I'm just too nice."

He also congratulated The King's Warden for surpassing 12 million admissions. Park added, "Audiences don't lie—if it's fun, they watch it. Would 12 million people lie? The audience is accurate."
