Jin Seon-kyu selected as lead for Jang Hang-jun's 10-year blockbuster film

During the second episode of the SBS variety show 'Master Hang-jun' airing on the 22nd, Jin Seon-kyu was cast as the lead for the upcoming film 'Hang-jun, Where Are You?'. The ambitious project involves a 10-year overseas filming plan to capture the real-time aging of the character.

In the SBS variety show 'Master Hang-jun', Jin Seon-kyu undergoes a transformation into a doppelgänger of Jang Hang-jun.

Directed by Lee Dong-won and Kam Yu-min, with writer Kim Myeong-jeong and co-produced by Content Lab VIVO, 'Master Hang-jun' is a cinematic talk show. The program features secret auditions where Jang Hang-jun casts top actors for his autobiographical film 'Master Hang-jun', leading to witty, high-tension conversations between the director and various stars.

In the second episode of 'Master Hang-jun' airing today (22nd), guest Jin Seon-kyu is selected as the lead for Jang Hang-jun's blockbuster upcoming project, 'Hang-jun, Where Are You?'.

'Hang-jun, Where Are You?' is a film depicting the journey of Hang-jun, who uses a supernatural "earth-bending" walking technique (chukjibeop) to embark on an overseas adventure before returning home. Jang Hang-jun revealed his ambitious plan, stating, "This project is blockbuster-scale," and claiming he will film on location overseas for 10 years. He further flustered Jin Seon-kyu with a radical filming plan to capture the real-time aging process of the character from a boy to a young man over that decade.

Driven by ambition to secure the role, Jin Seon-kyu asked, "How can I get cast?" before putting on horn-rimmed glasses to begin his imitation of Jang Hang-jun. His 200% synchronization, which copied everything from his appearance to his signature finger gestures, left Song Eun-i speechless, as she remarked, "A complete Jang Hang-jun doppelgänger." Jin Seon-kyu himself admitted to the resemblance, saying, "It's like looking in a mirror."

Meanwhile, Jang Hang-jun lectured on his "Jang-style chukjibeop," which he claims will determine the film's quality. He boasted that he "self-taught the technique to avoid being late" and bragged about his superpower, claiming, "My chukjibeop bends the ground." After observing Jang's technique, Jin Seon-kyu teased him, saying, "The ground actually looks like it's being stretched out," before showcasing his own version, claiming, "My chukjibeop feels like the 'Slickback'—I can even walk on water," which drew laughter.

The extraordinary battle of chukjibeop between Jang Hang-jun and Jin Seon-kyu will be revealed in the second episode of 'Master Hang-jun'.

The cinematic talk variety show 'Master Hang-jun' airs every Thursday at 9 PM on SBS.
