Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Hwi-young has called for strict law enforcement against excessive and intrusive acts by some conservative groups targeting actors who appeared in the film "Assassins."

Minister Choi pointed out, "While evaluating a film is free, threatening the safety of creators destroys democracy." He added, "When criticism of a film goes too far—such as gathering in front of an actor's home to stage protests, violating personal daily life, and threatening personal safety—it is something that can never be tolerated."
