Yoo Ji-tae pulled a major flex, celebrating the smash success of The King's Warden by treating the team to a group dinner.
On April 1, Herald Muse reported that on March 31, Yoo hosted a company dinner he dubbed "Han Myeong-hoe-sik" at a premium Japanese dining restaurant.
According to the report, he served an eel-focused menu. He may play a ruthless villain on screen, but in real life he gave off total tsundere (cold outside, warm inside) vibes.
Fans reacted by saying, "Reality and drama are different" and "The rhyme of Han Myeong-hoe's 'Han Myeong-hoe-sik' is perfect."
Meanwhile, The King's Warden surpassed 15 million admissions on the 25th of last month, ranking third in Korean box office history by admissions and first all-time by gross revenue. Set in 1457 at Cheongnyeongpo, the film follows a village head working to revive his town and a young, exiled former king. Yoo Ji-tae plays Han Myeong-hoe, the era's most powerful figure, delivering a commanding, charismatic performance.
