● Clash at Parliamentary Audit Over 'The Assassins'

Sung Chi-hoon / Deputy Spokesperson, Democratic Party of Korea
"People Power Party's criticism of the film 'The Assassin(s)' is an overinterpretation"
"It is being turned excessively into political strife in the political arena... Restraint is needed"
"Park Chung-hee has clear merits and demerits... Because it is a film dealing with the 'demerits,' the conservative camp is overinterpreting it"

Yoon Hee-seok / Former Senior Spokesperson, People Power Party
"Is the People Power Party's reaction excessive? This concerns presidents affiliated with the opposition party"
"Would the Democratic Party have reacted calmly if it had been a president from the ruling party?"
"With severe ideological conflicts ongoing... one cannot help but question the intentions behind the film's production"

Yang Man-hee / SBS Commentator
"Art should be appreciated in the realm of art... The People Power Party's reaction seems excessive"
