Actor Park Hae-il expressed high satisfaction with the period setting implementation in 'Assassin(s)'.

On the morning of the 10th, a production report meeting for the film 'Assassin(s)' was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall, attended by director Heo Jin-ho and actors Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-il, and Lee Min-ho.

The film 'Assassin(s)' tells the story of tracing the suspicions and figures behind the assassination attempt on First Lady Yuk Young-soo that occurred on August 15, 1974. It is director Heo Jin-ho's new work, who previously directed 'Christmas in August', 'Princess Deokhye', 'Five Senses of Eros', 'Happiness', 'Outing', and 'Spring Day'.

Yoo Hae-jin plays Detective Cheol-gu, a senior inspector with an unyielding obsession for the truth and heavy conviction. Park Hae-il takes on the role of Jae-hwan, the head of the social affairs department at a newspaper who uncovers the truth behind the incident without yielding to countless censors and external pressures. Lee Min-ho portrays Young-il, a rookie reporter at Dongseong Ilbo, who is tightly knit with passion and spirit.

On this day, regarding his impressions of acting in the highly realized 1970s period setting, Park Hae-il said, "I was also born in the 1970s," and added, "The main year in the film is 1974. It was just before I was born, so I had curiosity."

He continued, "Director Heo showed incredible attention to detail, making the realism stand out through open sets that carried the actual sensibility of the era rather than constructed sets."

He further expressed his satisfaction, stating, "The high level of completion was a great help for the actors performing, and it was a magical experience."

Meanwhile, 'Assassin(s)' is scheduled to be released in theaters this Chuseok holiday.
