'Assassin(s),' set to release during the Chuseok holiday, is drawing intense interest even before its official opening after selling out all public screening sessions ahead of its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

'Assassin(s)' sold out every public screening session ahead of its official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film traces the suspicions and masterminds behind the shocking assassination of the First Lady that stunned South Korea on August 15, 1974.

'Assassin(s),' officially invited to the world-renowned Toronto International Film Festival, sold out all 4,256 seats at its local public screenings. Even before the film made its debut with local audiences, every seat opened for general sale was quickly claimed, numerically proving the intense response toward 'Assassin(s).' The story, which begins with a scene from modern South Korean history, and the genre appeal of a mystery thriller are stimulating curiosity among overseas audiences across borders.

'Assassin(s)' will first be unveiled through media and market screenings on the 11th, followed by public screenings to meet audiences. From its first public screening, the film is expected to continue engaging with viewers in an exceptional scale, filling over 1,700 seats in a large auditorium.

'Assassin(s)' is a work that densely portrays characters pursuing the truth in their own ways surrounding a single incident. Based on director Heo Jin-ho's signature delicate yet profound direction, the cast spans generations—from Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-il, and Lee Min-ho to Bae Sung-woo, Eom Ji-won, Park Ji-hwan, Park Hun, Ryu Hye-young, Jang Lul, Choi Yu-ri, Ryu Kyung-soo, Kim Dae-myung, Shim Eun-kyung, Park Hae-jun, Park Seong-hoon, Oh Jung-se, Shin Hyun-bin, and Jung Woo-sung—completing a flawless ensemble. As the story draws closer to the center of the incident, newly revealed clues and sharp tensions between characters are expected to deliver an intense cinematic experience for audiences.

'Assassin(s)' will be released in theaters on September 23.
