A rain-soaked detective. Two reporters who won’t back down. One shooting that shook South Korea. That’s the pulse of “The Assassin(s),” the upcoming Korean thriller dropping new stills that already have fans buzzing.
Set against the fallout of an August 15 shooting incident, the film follows a tangled hunt for the truth — and the cast pulling it off reads like a dream team.
What’s The Assassin(s) About?
Detective Cheol Gu (Yoo Hae Jin) races through the rain, refusing to let the case go cold. Veteran journalist Jae Hwan (Park Hae Il) digs in with quiet conviction, while rookie reporter Young Il — played by global star Lee Min Ho — proves he won’t crack under pressure. Together, their late-night scenes hint at an intense, layered investigation drama rather than a simple crime flick.
