• Press screening of the film "Killing Time."

Actress Ryu Hye-young did not answer questions regarding the historical distortion controversy surrounding the film "The Assassin(s)." The production team of "Killing Time" restricted her responses, asking that only questions related to their own work be posed.

A press screening for the film "Killing Time" (directed by Jang Jun-yeop) was held on the 13th at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Jang Jun-yeop and actors Ryu Hye-young and Nam Yun-su attended the event.

Ryu Hye-young leads the narrative by delicately portraying the complex inner world of "Yeon-woo," who dives into "Killing Time" to win back public affection despite being burdened with guilt and anxiety following the death of a team member.

In particular, Ryu Hye-young has been continuously meeting audiences through various works, including the recent films "Intern" and "The Assassin(s)," as well as "Killing Time."

Amid this, "The Assassin(s)" became embroiled in controversy over historical distortion regarding certain settings within the film after its release. As heated debates continued surrounding the work, a flood of malicious comments was also directed at the cast members.

In the aftermath of the controversy, events related to "The Assassin(s)," including an open talk and Actors House sessions scheduled at the Busan International Film Festival, were successively canceled. Ryu Hye-young had also previously declined to attend a scheduled stage greeting for "The Assassin(s)," which was reportedly done at the request of the production company.

Ryu Hye-young herself suffered from malicious comments during the historical distortion controversy surrounding "The Assassin(s)" and closed her Instagram comment section. Consequently, at the "Killing Time" press screening on this day, a question was posed to Ryu Hye-young asking for her thoughts on the said controversy.

However, before Ryu Hye-young could answer, the "Killing Time" team stated that it would be difficult to respond to the question, requesting that only questions about the film be asked, and asked for understanding. As a result, Ryu Hye-young did not make any separate statement regarding the "The Assassin(s)" controversy.

Meanwhile, "Killing Time" is a time-attack thriller in which an internet broadcasting crew called "Killing Time," who lost everything due to a momentary accident, is attacked by a mysterious entity at an abandoned hospital they visit in an attempt to make a comeback, and fights to survive the ruthless attacks. The film opens on the 21st.
