The Assassin(s) draws criticism over its depiction of the 1974 assassination attempt
The historical film is facing criticism in South Korea over its portrayal of the 1974 shooting attack on Yuk Young-soo. The People Power Party accuses the film of embracing a conspiracy narrative suggesting possible involvement by then-President Park Chung-hee; this is the critics' position, not a confirmed historical finding.
