Actor Lee Min-ho is making a lot of big-screen movies. Lee Min-Ho's entry into the historical thriller The Assassins marks a daring new chapter in his career. Alongside Yoo Hae-jin and Park Hae-il, he confirms his role in the upcoming political thriller The Assassins, which is a high-stakes movie about a national disaster.
According to the film industry, Lee Min-ho has recently confirmed his appearance in the film 'Assassins (directed by Heo Jin-ho)' and is preparing for filming.
Lee Min-ho, who will meet theater audiences for the first time in a long time through the summer blockbuster 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint', which will be released in July, will continue his hot streak on the screen by deciding to make his next work a film as well.
'Assassins' is a film that depicts the suspicions and the story of the August 15 sniper incident that shocked South Korea.
Lee Min-ho will join his seniors, including Yoo Hae-jin and Park Hae-il, as the main characters of 'Assassins' and lead the work. In particular, as a star representing the Korean Wave, he will appear in a work that deals with modern and contemporary history of South Korea, which is expected to draw attention not only domestically but also globally.
Also, 'Assassins' is a genre that Lee Min-ho has never chosen before, and it is raising expectations for a new side of Lee Min-ho that we will not see in his previous works.
'Assassins' was planned as a movie about Moon Se-kwang, a Korean resident in Japan who shot and killed the late First Lady Yuk Young-soo.
Moon Se-kwang attempted to assassinate President Park Chung-hee with a gun while he was reading his congratulatory speech at the 29th Liberation Day ceremony held at the National Theater in Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul on August 15, 1974, and in the process, First Lady Yuk Young-soo was shot and killed.
It is reported that the film will cover the entire story of Moon Se-kwang's life, and Yoo Hae-jin is currently playing the role of a detective investigating the case, and Park Hae-il is expected to play the role of a reporter covering the mystery of the case.
'Assassins', which has started the main casting process, is currently in pre-production with the goal of filming within the year.
