Director Hur Jin-ho, who has delicately explored characters and events through films such as 'The Last Princess' and 'Christmas in August', took the megaphone.Previously, 'Assassins' had a successful start, attracting 134,460 viewers on its opening day and ranking first at the box office, and surpassed 1 million viewers in just 4 days, becoming the winner of the Chuseok holiday cinema season.However, some viewers who watched the movie raised suspicions of historical distortion regarding scenes that suggest the possibility of former President Park Chung-hee's side or the Korean Central Intelligence Agency's involvement in the incident, and the film became the center of various controversies with the suggestion of Chinese capital.In response, the production company Hive Media Corp. stated, "This is a fictional film reconstructed with cinematic imagination based on various records related to the historical event that occurred in 1974. The film does not designate any specific individual as the mastermind of the incident. It does not present hypotheses and dramatic settings in the movie as historical facts," but the controversy surrounding the work has not subsided.[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]jiyoon-1031@tf.co.kr
