Hive Media Corp released an official statement on the 29th, stating that no Chinese capital was involved in the production and investment process of the film ‘The Assassin(s)’. They explained that the work was independently planned and produced with domestic capital, led by domestic production teams and creators.

Previously, People Power Party lawmaker Joo Jin-woo claimed that a consortium including a Chinese financial firm was pursuing an investment of approximately 40 billion won in the film. Subsequently, rumors of Chinese capital inflow spread through online communities and some media outlets.

The production company stated that while they respect criticism and various opinions regarding the work, the investment and production capital is a matter that can be objectively verified. They added that they hope information differing from the facts will no longer be expanded or reproduced.
