<The Man Who Lives With The King>
Movie Support for Park Jihoon
by GLOBAL MAYS

Fly High, Jihoon!
Global MAYS
got your back!

As Park Jihoonโ€™s childhood dream was to become an actor, filming his second movie (debut movie was โ€˜Beautiful Audrey') must be a big deal for him.So we, PJHSupporters, worked together with Global MAYS to show him that we support his every move and eventually organized this Movie Support.When he received casting for King Danjong in the upcoming movie, 'The Man Who Lives with the King', we did not want to miss this opportunity for Global MAYS to let Jihoon know that he has many fans living outside of Korea and to send him cheers and encouragement through a coffee truck support. However, we were met with several challenges.

One of the two biggest challenges for this support was getting our queue number and schedule of support. As so many MAYS wanted to send Park Jihoon a movie support, getting a queue was really a fierce battle. Luckily we were able to get a low queue number but waiting to get a support schedule was a test of nerves and patience.Once given the schedule (usually given within short notice), everything already has to be ready โ€“ from the menu, banner texts and designs, gifts, other details and most importantly the budget.And this was by far our biggest challenge this round - reaching our budget goal.We have previously mentioned that we could not possibly push through with the support if the goal was not reached. Without a proper budget, it would be hard to send a decent movie support for Park Jihoon. There were also relatively few submissions for messages, suggestions as well photos.But despite the difficulty of achieving the target donation goal, overcoming it was possible thanks to the generous donations of 35 Global MAYS (see list below). We were able to receive enough and with proper budgeting and cutting off some expenses, sending a coffee truck support was possible and we believe that no matter how big or small the support is, Park Jihoon will always be appreciative and grateful to Global MAYS.


FROM MAY WHO LOVES THE KING

Last May 25, 2025, Global MAYS were able to successfully send our movie support for Park Jihoon and โ€˜The Man Who Lives with the King' team.We are very much grateful for Park Jihoon for certifying this support in his Personal Instagram, and even posting 3 photos of the support in his Instagram Stories as below on the same day:-1) Photo of the entire support
2) Jihoon letter-shaped churros
3) Interactive banner focusing on the puppy photos

Many are curious as to what Park Jihoon picked from the banner with the puppy pictures he posted, but before we reveal his choice from the Puppy vs Bunny Cutie Battle, allow us first to present the full support.๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’–

Since Park Jihoonโ€™s character in the movie is a dethroned and exiled young king, we made the theme of the support as modern royalty and full of love from fans from around the world.a. Banner TextWe have asked donors to submit banner text suggestions and as discussed with the team, these two were chosen:โ€œThe MAY Who Loves The King / ์™•์„ ์‚ฌ๋ž‘ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฉ”์ดโ€, suggested by @marrywink.์™•๊ณผ ์‚ฌ๋Š” ๋‚จ์ž is literally translated into 'The Man Who Lives with the King' in English and we did a wordplay on that leading to the main banner text of โ€˜From May Who Loves the Kingโ€™.Since we thought of modern royalty for the theme, we kept the banner colors in deep blue with yellow/gold borders, and of course, included the MAY colors โ€“ spring bouquet, lemon tonic and peach pink as accents.

As for the vertical banner, we used the phrase โ€œ์œ ๋ฐฐ๋ฌ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, ๋‚ด ๋งˆ์Œ์†์œผ๋กœ~โ€, suggested by ์„ค๋ น@pjhxksj, and tweaked it slightly to keep it in line with the theme which became โ€œPark Jihoon, you have been exiled, into Global MAYSโ€™ heartsโ€.We felt it perfectly aligned with the overall concept, blending elegance, sentiment, and a touch of humor. The phrase holds even more meaning for MAYS as a loving nod to Jihoonโ€™s legendary catchphrase, โ€œ๋‚ด ๋งˆ์Œ ์†์— ์ €์žฅโ€ (โ€œSaved into my heartโ€), which he coined in 2017 and remained beloved by the public ever since.This โ€˜exileโ€™ isnโ€™t one of sorrow โ€” itโ€™s a royal welcome into the most sacred place we hold: the hearts of Global MAYS. To us, Jihoon is our king, our pride, and our comfort. No matter the distance, we are always with him.๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’–The banner also contained the text, โ€œ์•ˆ์ „ํ•œ ์ดฌ์˜ ํ™”์œ™ํŒ…โ€ which we sincerely wishing the whole team a safe and smooth filming ahead. As MAYS, supporting Jihoon means not only cheering for his success, but also hoping he stays protected and well every step of the way.We have also listed our donors based on their donated amount and placed the flags of the countries of the Global MAY donors, arranged alphabetically. Itโ€™s our way of showing how love for Jihoon transcends borders, connecting MAYS around the world in one shared wish for his happiness. Thank you to all MAY donors once again!For the photos and videos chosen, we were only allowed to use Park Jihoon photos uploaded by YYEntertainment themselves and only clips from his official music videos.

As for the support sticker that was placed on drink cup holders, the photo is Jihoon when he was a child wearing a king costume sitting on a throne. We wanted to show this cute photo to the staff and make it seem like Jihoon was born to be a king like his role in the movie.As for the texts, they were:1) โ€œ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์• KING์ด ์ž˜ ๋ถ€ํƒ๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹คโ€ which means โ€œPlease take care of our Baby King.โ€2) โ€œ์•ˆ์ „ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์ดฌ์˜ํ•˜๊น…, ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•˜๊ณ  ํ–‰๋ณตํ•˜๊น… meaning 'Have a safe filming, be healthy and happy while doing a wordplay with โ€œbabyโ€ and Love from Global MAYS ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’–


b. Coffee TruckSince this is the third coffee truck support organized by PJHsupporters, we wanted a yellow coffee truck in order to complete the MAY colors of the trucks sent for Park Jihoon. The first was a Spring Bouquet (green) truck for Weak Hero Class 1 , the second was a Peach Pink truck for Love Song For Illusion and the third is this truck with Lemon Tonic (yellow) accents for The Man Who Lives with the King.We initially wanted a full yellow colored-truck but they were unavailable for the support date and previously sent trucks from MAYS were mostly colored yellow already so we opted for the truck with the yellow accents instead.

Our menu was composed of 350 cups of drinks (with more than 60 drink options) and more than 400 snacks that included Chicken and Potato, Hotdog sandwich, Club sandwich, Churros and Fruit cups for Park Jihoon and the entire team of The Man Who Lives with the King.We have also prepared special snack boxes for Park Jihoon and his co-stars, as well as for Director Jang Hang Joon. However, we were told by the coffee truck company that Park Jihoonโ€™s other co-stars were not filming that day so some of the special snack boxes were eventually given to Park Jihoon and his team instead.

We are glad that the coffee truck support received an overwhelming response from the team, who were excited to see the variety of food and drinks provided by Global MAYS.A specially customized churros, delicately shaped in Jihoonโ€™s Korean name with a heart beneath (see photos below), was made just for him โ€” a sweet and symbolic gesture of the deep love Global MAYS holds for Jihoon. Though miles apart, our hearts reached him, reminding him that to us, he is truly one of a kind.Realtime Review Part 1The actor (Park Jihoon) smiled widely upon seeing the coffee truck. He took a good look at each of the pictures and words, and chatted with his manager while laughing.Unfortunately, the actor couldn't take a selfie as he was in his movie makeup so it might be a spoiler, but he took lots of photos of the coffee truck with his phone.The actor chatted a lot with his manager in front of the coffee truck, but we couldn't hear what they were saying. They laughed and talked for a long time, and they carefully looked at each of the coffee truck pictures, banners and props.


c. DecorationsAs the support date given was close to Park Jihoonโ€™s birthday of May 29, we wanted to send him gifts, cake and balloons to celebrate his birthday early. However, we were told days before the support that we were not allowed to send gifts to the filming site, so we opted to place Coffee Truck Decors (in MAY colors) instead to place the messages of the donors and the birthday greetings of Global MAYS.Globe PropThe first decor is a globe prop, made out of chocolate, and is colored green and blue. Inside are candies and a picture of Park Jihoon with happy birthday greetings. The globe prop was to show that the support was from Global MAYS, and it has a text โ€˜Birthday Kingโ€™ and a crown on it, tying up the theme with celebrating Park Jihoonโ€™s birthday as well. Outside the box, thereโ€™s also a message from Global MAYS which read as:(Korean) ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ์Šคํƒ€ ์ง€ํ›ˆ์ด์—๊ฒŒ, ์ƒ์ผ ๋ฏธ๋ฆฌ ์ถ•ํ•˜ํ•ด -๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋ฉ”์ด-
(English) To our global star, Jihoonie, advance happy birthday -Global MAYS-
Supposedly, the globe prop is to be smashed with the hammer provided to reveal the candies inside.

Bunny PlushieThe second decor is a white bunny doll with pink hearts symbolizing Global MAYSโ€™ love for Park Jihoon. Having a stuffed toy during coffee truck support for Park Jihoon is already a must so we made sure to include it. Like previously mentioned, we were prohibited from giving gifts during the support so they werenโ€™t able to bring the bunny plushie with them.Message BalloonThe third decor is Global MAYSโ€™ message balloon in color yellow. Outside is a happy birthday greeting and the text โ€œ์ง€ํ›ˆ์•„ ํƒœ์–ด๋‚˜์ค˜์„œ ๊ณ ๋งˆ์›Œโ€ which translates to โ€œJihoon, thank you for being born -Love from Global Mays-".There is a sticker with Yeon Sieun holding a pen and a text that says, โ€œPoke the balloon using the pen and see the messagesโ€.With the global success of Weak Hero (Class 1 and 2), we wanted to reference Yeon Sieun, Park Jihoonโ€™s character, and his main weapon of choice, a ballpen, so we used a Sieun photo holding a pen to mimic how heโ€™ll poke the balloon.With the balloon is a balloon pen with small MAY-colored balloons that acts as a pin that should be used to pop the balloon to reveal the messages inside. The messages submitted by Global MAY donors were translated to Korean, designed to look like a royal mail postcard printed on a paper, rolled and placed inside the balloon.The translated heartfelt messages and fun facts from MAY donors were lovingly curated into a special private website exclusively for Jihoon. We hope to create a digital space where warm memories and sincere support live on โ€” a gentle reminder that love can be felt, even through the screen.Realtime Review Part 2:

d. Interactive AreaWe wanted to showcase more stuff about Park Jihoon and at the same time allow Park Jihoon, his co-stars and the rest of the cast and crew to have a little fun, that is why we prepared 2 interactive activities for the Coffee Truck Support.PhotoboardThe first is this photo board that Park Jihoon and the staff can use to place in front of their face and take a photo of. Itโ€™s filled with translations of โ€œI love youโ€ in different languages which represent Global MAY donors across the world and some elements related to Park Jihoon.Snap a shot or place your desired photo using this love message board! You may download the image here: >HERE<.Poll BannerAnd the most awaited part of the review, the Puppy vs Bunny Cutie Battle.Before we reveal Park Jihoonโ€™s choice, let us have MAYS choose what they think Park Jihoon picked:

์˜ค๋Š˜์˜ ์ฃผ์ธ๊ณต์€ ์–ด๋–ค ๋ฐ•์ง€ํ›ˆ์ธ๊ฐ€์š”?
What kind of Park Jihoon is the star today?

Did you guess correctly? Find out below!When Park Jihoon posted on his Instagram story about the banner, he only uploaded the part about the puppy pictures and cut the title and the bunny options below.The full banner that was placed in the support can be seen above.There were 6 options - 3 puppies and 3 bunnies, that correspond to similar-looking Park Jihoon photos. There was a sticker provided so that Park Jihoon and the rest of the cast and crew of The Man Who Lives with the King could choose which animal resembles Park Jihoon the most.We asked the coffee truck staff to kindly ask Park Jihoon to vote using the support sticker instead. And here was his choice with Review Part 3 & 4:-Did you get it right, MAY?We also asked if Jihoonโ€™s manager voted but since he was holding the snacks and drinks, he was unable to vote.Click the photos below to enlarge:


Thank you for reading the movie support review! We are very happy to have been able to successfully send another support for Park Jihoon, despite the many challenges.Hopefully in the future projects, more and more Global MAYS will participate. We are very much open to suggestions and collaborations in order to give the best support that we can give for Park Jihoon.

With this, we are already opening a Park Jihoon Project Funds where fans can donate however much they can and whenever, and this shall be used for his future idol and actor-related projects.We hope that in doing so, we could raise enough budget for projects needing immediate funding and to give ample time to our Global MAY donors to send their donations and fill in the details in the form.๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’–

We would also like to thank our Global MAY donors once again for making this project a success! Without your support, we wouldnโ€™t be able to send this coffee truck to Park Jihoon and let him know that Global MAYS are always with him and that we love and support him so much.We would also like to thank the following for helping in the sending of this movie support:1) YYEntertainment:
