‘Political propaganda that distorts history’ in the film about Ms. Yuk Young-soo’s attack

“Political propaganda that distorts history” in the film about the assassination of First Lady Yuk Young-soo

(Daegu = Yonhap News) Reporter Han Moo-seon = People Power Party lawmaker Yoo Young-ha, a close associate of former President Park Geun-hye, claimed on the 28th that the movie 'Assassin(s)', which deals with the assassination of First Lady Yuk Young-soo, was "obvious political propaganda."

In an article posted on his Facebook page on this day, Rep. Yoo wrote, "Leftists often insist that fiction is based on the imagination and belongs to freedom of expression. This film, directed by Jin-ho Heo, cleverly twists historical facts and portrays the late President Park Chung-hee as if the real mastermind behind the attack on First Lady Yuk Young-soo was the late President Park Chung-hee."

He said, "(The movie) distorted history by twisting obvious facts and seriously damaged the honor of the late President Park Chung-hee." He also said, "It is an act of immorality that drove a nail into the hearts of the bereaved families who still bear the crippling pain, and it is treason against our history."

He added, "There is a line that we must keep to maintain the community," and "This 'assassin(s)' clearly crossed that line, and cannot be forgiven for any reason. They will definitely be held accountable for this."
