In the film "Assassins," actor Yoo Hai Jin is expected to display his acting prowess.
On the 27th, the side of the film "Assassins" (director Heo Jin-ho, produced by Hive media corp, presented/distributed by Hive media corp) released a character still of the role Cheol-gu played by Yoo Hai Jin.
Scheduled to open this Chuseok, "Assassins" is a film that depicts the story of tracking the suspicions and backers of the first lady shooting incident that shocked Korea on Aug. 15, 1974. Among them, Yoo Hai Jin returns to the screen as Detective Cheol-gu, who pursues the truth of the first lady shooting incident.
Yoo Hai Jin is one of Korea's representative actors, proving both artistic merit and popular appeal by creating five films that each exceeded 10 million tickets sold — "The King and the Clown," "Veteran," "A Taxi Driver," "Exhuma" and "The King's Warden." He shows another acting transformation in "Assassins."
Across eras and genres, he has completed unique characters in each work and has earned deep trust from audiences for his lifelike performances and profound emotional expression. In this work, he plays Cheol-gu, a superintendent at the Jungbu police station who directly witnessed the first lady shooting incident, and is expected to lead the narrative by densely portraying the detective's obsession with the truth and his weighty convictions.
In particular, by convincingly depicting Cheol-gu's transformation as he approaches increasingly dangerous suspicions within an event that shook the nation, he is expected to captivate audiences with a face unlike before.
The released character stills immediately capture attention by portraying tense moments of Cheol-gu as he begins to pursue the truth of the first lady shooting incident. First, Cheol-gu staring at the chaotic scene in the middle of the Liberation Day commemoration hall vividly conveys the suffocating tension immediately after the incident. Even amid the pandemonium, his eyes keenly examine the circumstances, revealing the detective's instinct to not lose the clues he personally witnessed and increasing immersion.
Then his image concentrating on a phone call at the police station with a grave expression fully shows his investigative sense that doggedly pursues the suspicious circumstances surrounding the incident. The unwavering look in his eyes conveys a strong will to uncover the substance of the tangled clues to the end, further heightening curiosity about the enormous mystery that Cheol-gu, who has jumped to the forefront of the investigation, will face.
