As the controversy over historical distortion surrounding the film 'The Assassins' continued, history instructor Choi Tae-seong also switched his related video to private.

On the 1st, the 'The Assassins'-related video that he had previously uploaded on his YouTube channel 'Choi Tae-seong 2TV' could not be found.

Choi Tae-seong posted a video titled '[Must-Watch★Film The Assassins] Why Did Moon Se-gwang Pull the Trigger? | History is Fun 101' on his YouTube channel on the 22nd of last month.

As of the 28th of last month, this video had recorded approximately 320,000 views and attracted significant attention from netizens, but it was later switched to private. In response, netizens speculated that Choi Tae-seong may have also been mindful of the historical distortion controversy surrounding 'The Assassins'.

Prior to Choi Tae-seong, film YouTuber Jimubi, who has 4.17 million subscribers, had posted a video related to 'The Assassins' before switching it to private, and film critic Lee Dong-jin also made his review video of the film private.

'The Assassins' was released on September 23 and drew attention in theaters during the Chuseok holiday period. However, controversy arose that parts of the film were treated as historical distortion, given that it is based on a plot to track down the mastermind behind the 1974 shooting incident involving First Lady Yuh Young-soo.

In response, the production team stated, "'The Assassins' is a feature film reconstructed with cinematic imagination added, using various records written in relation to the historical event that occurred in 1974 as its motif."

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 individual designated as the mastermind of the incident, nor are the hypotheses and dramatic settings within the film presented as historical facts."
