'Assassins' has been officially invited to the Gala Presentations section of the 51st Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

According to HYBE MediaCOP, the production company, 'Assassins' was officially selected for the Gala Presentations section of the 51st Toronto International Film Festival on the 8th. 'Assassins' is a story tracing the suspicions and masterminds behind the assassination of the First Lady that shocked South Korea on August 15, 1974.

The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the world's four major film festivals, alongside Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. The Gala Presentations section, where 'Assassins' has been selected, is a representative main section that has previously attracted domestic hit films such as 'Nothing Can Be Done' (2025), 'Harbin' (2024), 'Ordinary Family' (2024), 'Concrete Utopia' (2023), 'Smugglers' (2023), and 'Hunt' (2022), which balanced both commercial appeal and artistic merit, generating strong reactions. As screenings featuring special guests for audiences visiting the festival, global attention is once again focused on this year's event.

In particular, director Hur Jin-ho has achieved a remarkable feat by being invited to the same section for the third time with 'Assassins', following his 2012 film 'Dangerous Liaisons' and his 2023 film 'Ordinary Family', further proving his exceptional directing skills to the global film industry.

Meanwhile, Cameron Bailey, executive chair of the Toronto International Film Festival, announced the reason for the invitation: "This is a dynamic story that explores a shocking chapter in Korean history, directed by Hur Jin-ho, one of our most beloved filmmakers. The acting by the cast led by Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-il, and Lee Min-ho is also fantastic."

'Assassins' is expected to deliver an intense mystery thriller that adds cinematic imagination to the unresolved records and questions left in modern Korean history. Actors including Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-il, and Lee Min-ho are expected to showcase dense acting and powerful attraction.

Meanwhile, 'Assassins' is scheduled to be released for domestic audiences during this year's Chuseok holiday.
