Actor Yoo Hae-jin, who received great love for 'Wangsa Nam,' wished for the success of 'Assassins.'

On the morning of the 10th, a production report conference for the film 'Assassins' was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall, with director Heo Jin-ho and actors Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-il, and Lee Min-ho in attendance.

The film 'Assassins' tells the story of tracing the doubts and figures behind the assassination attempt on First Lady Yuk Young-soo that occurred on August 15, 1974. It is the new work by director Heo Jin-ho, who previously directed 'Christmas in August,' 'Princess Deokhye,' 'Ogamdo,' 'Happiness,' 'Outing,' and 'Spring Days.'

Yoo Hae-jin plays Detective Cheol-gu, a middle-aged detective with an obsession for the truth and a heavy sense of 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 of the incident without yielding to countless instances of censorship and external pressure. Lee Min-ho portrays Young-il, a rookie reporter at Dongseong Ilbo, who is united by passion and spirit.

After receiving great love with the film 'The King and the Man' (hereinafter 'Wangsa Nam'), released in February this year, Yoo Hae-jin now targets the theater scene during the Chuseok holiday with 'Assassins.'

He stated, "I am happy to return for a holiday after 'Wangsa Nam.' I hope people will watch 'Assassins' as much as we have worked and struggled." He then added cautiously, "Of course, (for box office success) all three elements must align, but I hope you will still watch it well."

He also expressed his wish, saying, "Fortunately, it seems like the theaters are regaining their color, which makes me feel good. I hope our movie helps make the theaters even more vibrant."

Meanwhile, 'Assassins' is scheduled to be released in theaters this Chuseok.
