Actor Joo Ji Hoon revealed that he "feels no pressure" about being potentially compared to Lee Byung Hun.
On the filming site of film 'I am a King' on the 3rd, Joo Ji Hoon commented, "If the genres were the same, I would feel pressure, but since the genres are completely different, I told myself not to focus on other films."
Continuing, "It's my first time acting in a comedy. It was quite difficult to create the character of a comedy. I haven't seen other films' scenarios or thought about anything else besides filming."
Joo Ji Hoon will play the roles of both slave Deok Chil and crown prince Chung Nyeong who becomes King Sejong in historical comedy 'I am a King.'
Lee Byung Hun is the male lead for historical film 'Kwang Hae, The Man Who Became King,' who also plays two roles; the role of Chosun's king Kwang Hae as well as the man Ha Sun who became the fake Kwang Hae.
