Some stories are too explosive to stay buried — and this upcoming film digs straight into one that shook a nation. New character posters for “Assassin(s)” have just dropped, and they’re building serious anticipation ahead of its September release.
Assassin(s): An Investigation That Shook South Korea
“Assassin(s)” follows an investigation into the mystery and forces behind the August 15 shooting incident that shocked South Korea. The newly released posters spotlight the stories of three main characters connected to the assassination attempt on the first lady, capturing each character’s pursuit of the truth in his own way through intense expressions and determined gazes.
Meet The Three Men Chasing The Truth
| Character | Actor | Role | Poster Tagline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheol Gu | Yoo Hae Jin | Senior inspector | “The one who tracks the truth” |
| Jae Hwan | Park Hae Il | Newspaper social affairs editor | “The one who seeks to reveal the truth” |
| Young Il | Lee Min Ho | Ambitious rookie journalist | “The one who digs into the truth” |
Yoo Hae Jin’s Cheol Gu, a sharp and determined senior inspector, reveals his inner turmoil through a subtle yet powerful expression as he looks upon the scene of the shocking incident. Park Hae Il’s Jae Hwan shows a sharp, unwavering gaze reflecting his insight and conviction as he pushes to report the story against mounting pressure. Meanwhile, Lee Min Ho’s Young Il is seen holding a payphone as he reports the shooting incident to his newspaper right after witnessing the scene.
Three Perspectives, One Truth
What makes this poster reveal compelling isn’t just the star power — it’s the structure. A cop, an editor, and a rookie reporter each chasing the same truth from different angles promises a layered, multi-perspective thriller rather than a single-hero narrative.
This kind of politically charged, fact-based thriller sits comfortably within the broader tradition of Korean cinema, long known for tackling real societal shockwaves through gripping drama.
