Actor Yang Seung-ri Goodman Story

Actor Yang Seung-ri will make his Chungmuro debut with the new film by director Jang Hang-jun, ‘The Man Who Lives with the King’.

Released on the 4th, the film ‘The Man Who Lives with the King’ tells the story, set in Cheongnyeongpo in 1457, of a village head who volunteers for exile to revive his village and of a young former king who was deposed and banished.

Yang Seung-ri plays ‘Gicheon Magistrate’, an aide to Prince Geumseong (played by Lee Jun-hyuk), who seeks to restore his nephew Lee Hong-wi (played by Park Ji-hoon) to the throne. Amid a tense progression, he appears as ‘Gicheon Magistrate’ and makes a strong impression, set to stand out as a ‘scene-stealer’.

Yang Seung-ri, who debuted in 2009 with the musical ‘Romeo and Juliet’, has built solid acting chops through numerous musicals, plays, and dramas. In particular, over the past year he showcased a wide spectrum by moving between stage and screen with the play ‘2:22 - A GHOST STORY’, the musical ‘Death Note’, and the Netflix series ‘Trigger’.

Having made his presence felt with every project and left a strong impression on audiences and industry insiders, attention is gathering for the new side he will show through this screen debut.

The film ‘The Man Who Lives with the King’ featuring Yang Seung-ri opened on the 4th and is now playing in theaters nationwide.
