Set to premiere on Thursday, October 15 at 9 p.m., SBS's new variety program "Maestro Jang" is a quick-witted talk show and secret audition where film director Jang Hang-jun—who was at times pathetic and servile, yet more brilliant than anyone else—sets out to cast top-tier actors for his autobiographical film "Maestro Jang."
In the second teaser video titled "The Maestro's Shout-Out," released on October 1, directors Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho, who represent the pinnacle of Korean cinema, appeared to shower director Jang Hang-jun with generous praise and affection.
Director Bong Joon-ho expressed his deep confidence in him, saying, "What was bound to happen has finally come. He is someone who truly deserves to be called a master." He added, "Even if you searched the entire world, it wouldn't be easy to find anyone who dislikes Director Jang." Bong continued to show his extraordinary fondness, exclaiming, "I get nervous every time we talk on the phone. I'm a fan. I like you. A flame of love!"
Director Park Chan-wook also expressed envy, saying, "I'm genuinely jealous and envious that he has become a master and is basking in the spotlight." He then drew laughter with a witty warning, adding, "I marvel at how brilliant he is, but comedy is my domain, so I hope he doesn't intrude on it."
"Maestro Jang," which will showcase the delightfully captivating charm of Jang Hang-jun—who has become the "beloved keyring director" to both master filmmakers Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho—premieres on Thursday, October 15 at 9 p.m.
