Conservative groups continue to rally in front of Yoo Hae-jin's home amid controversy over the movie 'Assassin(s)'

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jeong Ji-su = Amid controversy over the distortion of history in the movie 'Assassin(s),' a rally by conservative groups continued in front of lead actor Yoo Hae-jin's home.

On the 4th, the New Liberty Alliance and Bellado held a rally in front of a detached house in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, known as Yoo Hae-jin's home, condemning the production company and actors of 'Assassin(s)'.

The New Liberty Alliance demanded that the film be stopped from showing, while also insisting that the production team and actors should apologize to the public and promise to prevent recurrence.

Bellado argued that Yoo Hae-jin should also appear in so-called 'right-wing films'.

They announced that they would continue their activities by visiting the headquarters of companies such as Burger King and Kiwoom Securities, for which Yoo Hae-jin is an advertising model, and demanding withdrawal of contracts.

The police unofficially estimated that about 50 people attended the rally.

Meanwhile, the conservative group Defenders of the Nation will also hold a rally at 3 p.m. on this day in front of the building of Hive Media Corp, the production company of 'Assassin(s)', demanding an apology to the public and the bereaved family. The number of people reported is 30.

The film sparked controversy because it implied a different conclusion from the government's official announcement that the late First Lady Yuk Young-soo died after being shot by Moon Se-gwang, a Korean-Japanese resident.

The production team explained this by saying, “This is not a film produced to newly confirm a specific historical conclusion or to deny or distort existing facts.”
