Singer-actor Park Ji-hoon, whose film “The Man Who Lives With the King” is closing in on 10 million moviegoers, is drawing attention to whether his next project will also be a hit.
Park posted a photo on social media on March 3 with the message, “You worked hard, Kang Seong-jae.” In the image, he wears a military uniform and looks off into the distance.
The post was a tease for his upcoming role in the TVING original series “Becoming a Legendary Army Cook,” set to air this year. The series is based on a web novel of the same name. Park plays Kang Seong-jae, a private newly assigned to the Gangrim outpost who works as an army cook. After falling from top trainee to a soldier of concern, he follows an unfamiliar voice and accepts a quest to change jobs as a cook.
The original author, J. Robin (real name Oh Jong-pil), wrote on social media on March 2 about Park’s casting: “I’ve used up all my luck for life. He stepped right off the novel cover. I’m really looking forward to his acting.”
Meanwhile, “The Man Who Lives With the King,” starring Park, has surpassed 9 million admissions, moving closer to the 10 million mark. Park plays Danjong (Lee Hong-wi) in the film.
