This movie is a mystery thriller based on the 'August 15 Assassination Incident (the assassination of First Lady Yuk Young-soo)' that shook South Korea in 1974.
It is a story about Detective Park Cheol-gu (Yoo Hae-jin), Social Affairs Editor Kim Jae-hwan (Park Hae-il), and rookie reporter Han Young-il (Lee Min-ho) who discover suspicious details just as the investigation is about to be quickly concluded as a solo crime, and uncover the massive truth hidden behind the case.
Since the premiere, there has been widespread acclaim calling it a "well-made period drama," thanks to the immersive 131-minute runtime that flows cleanly without any melodramatic elements and the actors' incredible performances!

- Post-credits scene information: The movie *Assassination(ies)* has a post-credits scene! - Number of post-credits scenes: There is one post-credits scene that plays immediately after the movie ends.
I recommend that you don't just rush out before the lights come on; make sure to watch until the very end, including the post-credits scene!

5. Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q1. Where can I reserve tickets for the stage greeting? A1. You can make reservations through the official websites and mobile apps of each theater (CGV, Lotte Cinema, Megabox, CineQ). Popular showtimes sell out quickly, so we recommend you hurry!
Q2. Are all the characters appearing in the movie real people? A2. No! Only the character of the culprit 'Moon Tae-kwang,' played by actor Park Jung-min, was created based on a real person (Moon Se-kwang), while the three main characters played by Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-il, and Lee Min-ho are fictional characters created with cinematic imagination to track down the case.
Q3. Are the actors attending the stage greeting subject to change? A3. Yes, please note that the lineup of attendees for the stage greeting may be subject to change without prior notice depending on the organizer's circumstances or the actor's schedule on the day.
