The King's Warden Posters Reveal Park Ji-hoon as Dethroned Danjong

According to Soompi, 'The King's Warden' marks the first South Korean film to focus exclusively on the hidden narrative of King Danjong. As Joseon's 6th king, he ascended the throne at the tender age of 12 but was soon overthrown by his power-hungry uncle, Grand Prince Suyang.

The newly unveiled posters capture the intense dynamics between the dethroned king and those who watch(watch) over him—both friends and foes. Park Ji-hoon's portrayal is expected to show the psychological depth of a monarch forced into exile at Cheongnyeongpo.

Redefining Joseon History through Danjong's Eyes

Industry insiders note that the film aims to shed light on the figures who remained loyal to the king during his darkest hours. While traditional history often focuses on the victors, this project chooses to highlight the vulnerability and resilience of the young Danjong. The posters emphasize this contrast, using dramatic lighting to heighten the tension between the characters.
