The People Power Party sent a letter to the film festival in the name of all members requesting withdrawal of the opening film 'Assassin(s)'

Sent next week in all names… Suspicion of rating bulletin board manipulation and criticism of investment by government-run banks

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Jeong-hyeon and Lee Yulip = On the 4th, the People Power Party decided to send a letter in the name of all its members to the Singapore International Film Festival requesting that the film 'Assassin(s)', which deals with the assassination of Ms. Yuk Young-soo, be selected as the opening film.

It is known that when Representative Joo Jin-woo initially announced that he would send it in his personal name, the number of lawmakers who wanted to participate increased and they decided to pursue it in this way.

Senior Spokesperson Choi Bo-yoon met with reporters at the National Assembly on this day and explained regarding the issue, "There are many people who voluntarily participate in raising their voices, so we decided to collect opinions and proceed within the National Assembly."

Senior floor spokesperson Choi Eun-seok also said in a phone call with Yonhap News, “The draft has been prepared and I think we can send it (to the film festival) within next week.”

In a personal letter released first, Rep. Joo said, "The film turns the murdered victim's family into the party of suspicion and puts the terrible frame of the father's involvement in the mother's death on the actual bereaved family," and added, "Do not lend the authority of the film festival to the immoral distortion of history that insults the victims and their families."

The People Power Party continued its offensive against the ‘assassin(s)’ even during the holidays.

5-term lawmaker Na Kyung-won criticized on Facebook, "Naver is said to have requested a police investigation for changing the rating bulletin board settings for the corrupt movie 'Assassin(s)' to the most recent, saying it was 'due to macro manipulation'. So they make a lame excuse saying they changed it to the most recent."

He continued, "Does this mean that the recommendation system of Korea's largest portal site is so shabby that it can be broken through with a single macro? In fact, it is nothing but a confession that the 'second druking incident' is being neglected within Naver. We must thoroughly verify whether Naver selectively controlled public opinion and manipulated public opinion through additional comments during the government audit."

Representative Joo held a press conference at the National Assembly on this day and said, "Korea Development Bank indirectly invested 14 billion won and Industrial Bank of Korea invested 14.2 billion won in Hive Media Corp, the production company of 'Assassin(s).' In fact, this production company is enriched with money from the government-run bank. Immediately recover the investment and investigate the circumstances of the investment."

Meanwhile, CEO Jang Dong-hyuk announced that he would visit First Lady Yuk Young-soo's birthplace in Okcheon-gun, North Chungcheong Province on the 5th and hold a press conference.
