Actor Park Ji-hoon will not attend the 59th Danjong Cultural Festival held in April. On the 4th, the Danjong Cultural Festival officially announced through its SNS, "We inform you that actor Park Ji-hoon will not attend the Danjong Cultural Festival. Please avoid any misunderstandings."

Park Ji-hoon recently played the role of Danjong in the film "The Man Who Lives with the King." He attracted attention by delivering a video message celebrating the Danjong Cultural Festival through the official SNS of the Yeongwol Festival. In the video, Park Ji-hoon introduced himself as "actor Park Ji-hoon, who played Danjong in the film 'The Man Who Lives with the King,'" and said, "While playing Danjong in this work, I sincerely wanted to understand and convey the loneliness, pain, and inner stories he might have felt as a person before becoming a king."

Park Ji-hoon continued, "It was a precious time for me to look at and feel history more closely," adding, "During the filming in Yeongwol, the location of the movie shoot, I was able to film happily thanks to the clear nature and warm people." He also personally announced the event, saying, "The 59th Danjong Cultural Festival will be held for three days from April 24 to 26 in the precious Yeongwol."

Interest in whether Park Ji-hoon would attend the cultural festival increased due to his video message, but the Danjong Cultural Festival clarified the confusion by officially announcing his absence.

The film "The Man Who Lives with the King" tells the story of Danjong, the 6th king of the Joseon Dynasty, and was released on the 4th of last month. The film has currently recorded a cumulative audience of 9.59 million, approaching 10 million viewers.

Director Jang Hang-jun plans to visit the Danjong Cultural Festival next month to attend special lectures and the opening ceremony. This Danjong Cultural Festival is an event held to honor a historical figure and attracts many visitors every year.

The Danjong Cultural Festival offers various programs and events to commemorate Danjong's life and achievements. This year, it will be held for three days from April 24 to 26, including traditional performances, experiential programs, and exhibitions.

The Danjong Cultural Festival provides an opportunity for local residents and tourists to participate together and experience the history and culture of the Joseon Dynasty. It is also regarded as an important event contributing to the revitalization of the local economy.

Despite Park Ji-hoon's absence, the Danjong Cultural Festival is scheduled to proceed as planned, drawing much attention.
