National Liberation Day in Korea – A shocking shooting incident in 1974 shook the nation, leaving a mark on its modern history. Now, decades later, one of the biggest Hallyu stars in Korea, Lee Min-ho, is stepping into the center and heart of this mystery in his newest film, ‘The Assassin(s)’ and brings audiences a side of his acting we’ve never seen before. In the film he steps into the world of a rookie social affairs reporter, who witnesses a shocking event on August 15, 1974, and investigates it. In some ways, it is a major departure from the romantic leads and fantasy characters he has previously played. The raw nature of this role—investigation, emotional ambiguity, and conflict—affords him opportunities to exhibit depth, vulnerability and an analytical intellect. Fans will see him explore the gritty, curious and tremendously dramatic aspects of his character, which breaks out of the mold of relics of Hallyu charm that made him a breakout star worldwide.
