As the film "Assassin(s)," which is based on the assassination attempt on First Lady Yoo Young-soo, has escalated into a controversy over political views, movie YouTuber Jimovie switched his related video to private.

On the 29th, it was confirmed that "Jimovie," a movie introduction YouTuber with 4.17 million subscribers, had changed a recent video about the film "Assassin(s)" on his channel to private.

Jimovie did not separately explain the reason for not making the "Assassin(s)" video public. However, netizens are interpreting that he felt burdened by posting content that has sparked political debate.

"Assassin(s)" was released on September 23 and drew attention in theaters during the Chuseok holiday. However, because the film is made with the content of tracking down the mastermind behind the 1974 assassination attempt on First Lady Yoo Young-soo, controversy has been raised that some parts were treated as historical distortion.

In response, the production team officially stated on the 28th, "Assassin(s) is a feature film that restructures a historical event from 1974 as a motif, adding cinematic imagination based on various records written about the incident at the time. The production team extensively investigated published records, materials, books, documentaries, etc., and completed a single story by combining fictional characters and situations while using actual events and figures as motifs."

They further emphasized, "This work is not a film produced to newly establish a specific historical conclusion or to deny or distort existing facts. Nowhere in the film is a specific figure designated as the mastermind of the incident, nor are the hypotheses and dramatic settings within the film presented as historical facts."

Additionally, they added, "As it is a work using a historical event and real figures as material, various interpretations and criticisms may arise. The production team respects such opinions. However, we would like to state that the film was not produced with a specific political purpose beyond the unique creative intent and nature of the work," and "We ask you to view the work solely as a product of creation."
