[Exclusive] Government Fund of Funds Invests 7.8 Billion Won in 'Assassin(s)'... 2.4 Billion Won Invested via Pro-Democratic Party Investment Firms

The government's Fund of Funds, known as a "big player" in the film industry, has been found to have indirectly invested at least 7.8 billion won in the film 'Assassin(s)', which is embroiled in controversy over historical distortion. Among this, 2.4 billion won—representing 31%—was attracted through three sub-funds led by individuals associated with the Democratic Party of Korea, which is expected to spark controversy.
According to an analysis by Rep. Kim Seung-su of the People Power Party, who obtained investment records from Korea Venture Investment Corp. on the 4th, a total of nine sub-funds executed investments in 'Assassin(s)' between last November and this August. The investment amounts ranged from 400 million won to 1.9 billion won.
The representatives of the three sub-funds that invested 2.4 billion won out of the 7.8 billion won were found to be pro-Democratic Party figures. Representative A of Ilshin Startup Investment previously served as a member of the Democratic Party's Special Committee on New Growth. Representative B of KC Ventures serves as a member of the 'Investment Subcommittee of the Popular Culture Exchange Committee,' an advisory body under the President launched last October. Representative C of 'Saltlux,' the parent company of Saltlux Ventures, previously served as the Vice Chairperson of the 'Democratic Party AI Powerhouse Committee,' which was chaired by Lee Jae-myung during his tenure as party leader.
Korea Venture Investment Corp., a public institution under the Small and Medium Business Administration, operates the film account of the Fund of Funds using budgets from the Korean Film Council and other sources.
