Some claim that the work distorted history, leading to a situation where star rating terrorism is occurring along with attacks on the appearing actors and the actors who wrote recommendations. The production team explained that the film does not define any specific person as the mastermind behind the incident anywhere in the movie, nor does it present the hypotheses and dramatic settings in the film as historical facts. Nevertheless, ‘The Assassin(s)’ has recorded number 1 in Korean film reservation rates and number 1 in the box office for 19 consecutive days.
