The controversy over historical distortion surrounding the film "Assassins" has escalated into protests in front of actor Yoo Hae-jin's home, prompting his agency to warn of strong legal action.
The Solidarity of Korean Film Organizations has also expressed concern.
Recently, the controversy related to "Assassins" has spread into malicious attacks against the cast members.
In particular, protests have even reached his home, alongside boycotts of products endorsed by Yoo and demands for his replacement as a model.
Yesterday (October 5), Yoo's agency emphasized that it views malicious personal attacks, insults, invasions of privacy, threats to personal safety, and defamation with the utmost seriousness, and stated that it plans to take all possible measures.
The Solidarity of Korean Film Organizations, comprising 19 film industry groups, also raised its voice.
The group issued a statement saying that while official issues can be raised regarding a film, it must not affect an individual's personal safety and livelihood.
