Distributor Showbox released a poster on the 16th to celebrate the film "The Man Living with the King" surpassing 2 million viewers. The film exceeded a cumulative audience of 2 million on the 15th, the 12th day after its release.

The poster commemorating the 2 million viewers milestone was created with a royal portrait concept featuring Gwangcheon Village Chief Eom Heung-do (played by Yoo Hae-jin) and Yi Hong-wi (played by Park Ji-hoon) dressed in royal robes.

The film team completed the poster by depicting the two main characters side by side within the royal portrait, creating a profound impact.
