[Sports Today reporter Lim Si-ryeong] Actor Yoo Ji-tae marked a milestone for his film The Man Who Lives with the King at a celebratory cast-and-crew dinner.
On April 1, his agency MSTeam Entertainment said Yoo hosted a private team dinner on March 31 to celebrate the film’s box-office success.
He invited the production team to an upscale Japanese restaurant and treated everyone to premium eel dishes.
The Man Who Lives with the King is set in 1457 at Cheongnyeongpo. The story follows a village head who volunteers for exile to revive his town and a young, deposed monarch sent away from the throne. Yoo delivers a standout performance as the notorious court schemer Han Myeong-hoe. The film has surpassed 15.73 million admissions, ranking third on the all-time Korean box-office chart, and is closing in on 16 million.
