Directed by Hur Jin-ho, 'The Assassin(s)' is a work that reconstructs the 1974 shooting incident of Yuk Young-soo through cinematic imagination. Media reports indicate that since its release, the film has been at the center of controversy due to backlash from certain far-right groups and YouTubers.
Members of some groups and YouTubers reportedly held rallies in front of the residence of actor Yoo Hae-jin to demand an apology. These movements are said to have intensified the controversy surrounding the work.
