Kim Go Eun Faces Malicious Comments Amid 'Assassins' Historical Distortion Controversy

A heated controversy over historical distortion has erupted surrounding director Hur Jin-ho's new film 'Assassins'. This debate has extended to actresses Lee Young-ae and Kim Go-eun, who left positive reviews after attending the VIP premiere, leading to a barrage of malicious comments on their social media accounts.

Kim Go-eun shared her thoughts after watching the film at the premiere, stating she "felt much gratitude for the present." 'Assassins' is based on the 1974 shooting incident involving First Lady Yuk Young-soo, and the controversy stems from the blurred lines between dramatic imagination and historical facts. Despite the production team's clarification that the film does not aim to confirm specific conclusions or distort facts, the debate continues.

Bloggers express concern that actors who genuinely expressed support are becoming targets of malicious comments. There is growing skepticism about the reality of actors having to endure severe online abuse simply for recommending a film, irrespective of the debate over its historical interpretation.
