Attacks from the conservative opposition are intensifying regarding the film <Assassins>, which deals with the assassination of First Lady Yuk Young-soo.
Recently, People Power Party lawmaker Joo Jin-woo has been criticized for launching excessive political offensives that go beyond mere film criticism, such as describing actor Yoo Hae-jin—who plays the police officer 'Cheol-gu' in the film—as a 'North Korean-style figure.'
This is tantamount to using the film as an excuse to attack the very history of overcoming dictatorship and achieving democratization. The timely news of the rapid rise of far-right politicians in Brazil, coupled with this South Korean political situation, evokes deep concern.
