“The King’s Warden” Production Team Denies Plagiarism Allegations
The production team of “The King’s Warden” has formally responded to allegations of plagiarism. On March 9, MBN reported exclusively that the bereaved family of “A,” the 31st-generation descendant of Eom Heung Do, claimed that some scenes in the film resemble a drama titled “Eom Heung Do,” which “A” had been preparing before his death in 2019. The family argued that several elements were identical: a scene in which King Danjong opens his heart while sharing a meal with Eom Heung Do, a scene in which Eom Heung Do rescues King Danjong as he attempts to throw himself off a cliff, the portrayal of several palace maids as a single character, and the adaptation of Eom Heung Do’s children into a single son. In response, production company Onda Works issued a statement on March 10, saying, “The film ‘The King’s Warden’ is a purely original work based on historical facts, and the entire creative process has been documented in detail and can be verified.” The company added, “Because the work is based on historical figures and events, there may be other creative works claiming similarities. However, there was no route or causal connection through which the creators encountered the work in question during the creative process, and there has been absolutely no plagiarism of other works during the planning, development, or production stages.” They continued, “The claims of plagiarism are groundless, and we will respond firmly through all possible measures, including legal procedures, against such allegations.” Set during the Joseon Dynasty, the “The King’s Warden” centers on King Danjong (Park Ji Hoon), the sixth king of Joseon, who is betrayed by his uncle and dethroned before being exiled to Cheongnyeongpo in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province. There, he encounters Eom Heung Do (Yoo Hae Jin), the head of the local village, setting the story’s events in motion. The film recently surpassed 11 million moviegoers.

Park Bo Gum, Joo Won, Lee Sun Bin, And More Begin Filming For New Historical Action Film
Park Bo Gum, Joo Won, Jung Jae Young, and Lee Sun Bin’s upcoming film has begun filming! “The Sword: A Legend of the Red Wolf” is a historical action film set shortly after the fall of Goguryeo. It follows a man who loses his memory and becomes a slave before entering a tournament for a legendary sword. Director Kim Han Min of the film “War of the Arrows” will take the helm. Ahead of the start of filming, director Kim Han Min and the actors gathered for an activity script reading session, practicing both the lines as well as the action choreography. Unlike a typical script reading, the activity reading functioned more like a rehearsal combining action and dialogue, adding depth to the narrative as the actors immersed into their characters. Park Bo Gum takes on the role of Chil Seong, a warrior who has lost his memory. The actor will impress with his powerful sword-fighting action as his character transforms from a slave gladiator to a hero. Joo Won plays Gyepil Haryeok (Qibi Heli), a character who opposes Chil Seong. Gyepil Haryeok is a cold warrior representing the Göktürks in the tournament, forming a fierce rivalry with Chil Seong. He will showcase fierce charisma and difficult action scenes using two swords. Jung Jae Young transforms into Heuk Su Gang, the steadfast leader of the Goguryeo restoration army, known as the Damul Army. Lee Sun Bin plays Maya, a member of the restoration army, showcasing strong determination and action. Furthermore, the cast will be joined by Vietnamese star Trấn Thành, Kim Jae Chul, Choi Gwi Hwa, Park Myung Hoon, Lee Soon Won, and more. “The Sword: A Legend of the Red Wolf” began filming on March 3. Stay tuned for updates!
Watch: NCT's Jaemin And Jeno Show Off Contrasting Charms In "Amazing Saturday" Preview
Get ready to see NCT’s Jaemin and Jeno on “Amazing Saturday”! The popular tvN variety show has revealed a sneak peek of next week’s episode, which will feature Jaemin and Jeno as guests alongside Im Woo Il and Kim Ji Yoo. Jaemin and Jeno, who recently made their unit debut as the new duo NCT JNJM, display entirely different charms in the preview. Jeno proves sharp and perceptive when it comes to the show’s games, but Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon quickly swoops in to “steal” his answers, playfully telling him, “Life is all about timing!” Meanwhile, Jaemin isn’t quite as adept at the guessing games as his bandmate. After hearing one of the quiz questions, he tells the cast members, “This is our song.” But when asked for help with the answer, he cracks everyone up by responding, “I can’t think of it right now.” Shin Dong Yup jokingly observes, “Jaemin is the one trying the hardest to figure out the right answer.”
