Actor Yoo Hae-jin shared his thoughts on meeting audiences again at theaters during the Chuseok holiday, following the box office hit 'The King's Man' during the Lunar New Year holiday.

On the 8th, a press screening for the film 'Assassins (plural)' was held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Director Hur Jin-ho and actors Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-il, and Lee Min-ho attended the event to discuss the work.

'Assassins (plural)' is a story that traces the suspicions and masterminds behind the shocking assassination of the First Lady that shook South Korea on August 15, 1974. Based on actual events, the film adds cinematic imagination to reconstruct the grand mystery surrounding the incident at the time.

Yoo Hae-jin proved once again his strength as a 'ten-million-viewer actor' by drawing 16.9 million viewers with the film 'The King's Man', released during this year's Lunar New Year holiday. He will visit theaters again this Chuseok with 'Assassins (plural)'.

Regarding this, Yoo Hae-jin began by saying, "This year is too special for me. I am grateful that so many people liked and loved me because of 'The King's Man'."

He continued, "Another holiday has come, and 'Assassins (plural)' is being released. It seems like the time has come to keep 'The King's Man' as a cherished work in a corner of my heart."

He expressed his affection by saying, "I hope this movie survives well in theaters like a living organism," and added, "I hope this work also lives on healthily in this harsh world, just like 'The King's Man'."

With Yoo Hae-jin meeting audiences again at theaters during the Chuseok holiday following his Lunar New Year box office success, attention is focused on whether he can achieve another box office hit with 'Assassins (plural)'. 'Assassins (plural)' will be released on the 23rd.
