SAMG Entertainment Launches Pre-Orders for Special Edition "WangSaPing" to Celebrate 10 Million Viewers of "The Man Who Lives with the King"
Global IP content company SAMG Entertainment (CEO Kim Suhoon, hereinafter SAMG Entertainment) announced on March 12, 2026, that it will introduce a special edition of My Ping, “Wang-gwa-Saneun Ping” (hereinafter WangSaPing), featuring characters from the movie “The Man Who Lives with the King.”
WangSaPing is a limited edition released through My Ping, the core lineup of SAMG Entertainment’s integrated IP brand “THE TEENIEPING.” Introduced alongside the opening of the flagship store in Seongsu-dong at the end of 2025, My Ping has continued to expand its fanbase by allowing fans to reinterpret the characters according to their own preferences.
At the premiere of “The Man Who Lives with the King” held in January, lead actors such as Yoo Hae-jin, Park Jihoon, Yoo Ji-tae, and Jeon Mido appeared with WangSaPing editions representing each of their roles (Heungdo Ping, Hongwi Ping, Myeonghoe Ping, and Maehwa Ping), attracting attention. Immediately after the event, requests for release flooded social media and online communities, and the products were highly anticipated as items to preserve the afterglow of the film.
This edition was produced by SAMG Entertainment to celebrate the film, which surpassed 10 million viewers this year. The set consists of two types: Hongwi Ping, representing the dethroned King Lee Hongwi, and Heungdo Ping, representing the village chief Um Heungdo. Hongwi Ping features a yellow beige body, suede bunny hair, a heart-shaped Gonryongpo Blue Edition, and a Won-yu hat. Heungdo Ping is based on the Hachuping body, with the addition of a traditional hat and pink mustache details to highlight the character’s individuality.
Pre-order sales will be exclusively available on THE TEENIEPING official online store from 11:00 a.m. on March 12, 2026, until March 22, 2026. Delivery will begin sequentially from the end of May, and customers who purchase will receive a specially designed WangSaPing poster at random.
