Singer Hwang Chi-yeul is making headlines after sharing his deeply moving review of the film 'The Man Who Lives with the King' (hereafter 'Wang-sa-nam').

On the 18th, Hwang met with fans via Instagram Live after finishing his schedule for SBS Power FM’s 'Cultwo Show.' When asked by fans to recommend a movie he recently enjoyed, Hwang chose 'Wang-sa-nam' without hesitation.

"I watched Director Jang Hang-jun's 'The Man Who Lives with the King,' and I cried my eyes out," he said, offering high praise. "Anyone who has seen it will know, that heart-wrenching narrative really pulls at your heartstrings. I don't know how everyone can act so well." It was a moment where the "movie buff" was completely disarmed by the film's emotional impact.

Along with the movie talk, Hwang’s firm "popcorn philosophy" was also revealed, sparking laughter. He boasted about his appetite, saying, "Popcorn is a must at the theater. I eat the whole bucket."

In particular, he passionately explained, "I like garlic popcorn the best, but you have to eat it half-and-half with caramel. When the garlic feels too salty, you eat the caramel; when it's too sweet, you go back to garlic. This 'sweet and salty' harmony proves that the extra 2,000 won is worth every penny," making fans burst into laughter.

Fans are reacting enthusiastically to Hwang's down-to-earth personality—being moved by a single film and listening to fans' small advice—commenting, "Popcorn must be half-and-half when watching Wang-sa-nam," "Chi-yeul's sensitivity is amazing," and "As expected, he's the King of Communication."
