The shocking suspense film PENG SOO's ”Presidential Assassination Trial: 16 Days of Truth” depicts the worst political trial in South Korea's history. The Japanese poster visual and teaser version, as well as movie ticket bonuses, have been released!

The latest film by director Joo Changmin of "The Man Who Became a President," "Happy Country," will be released in Japan under the title "Presidential Assassination Trial: 16 Days of Truth" at Shinjuku Musashinokan and Human Trust Cinema Yonsei University from Friday, August 22nd.
The film will be released nationwide at Rakucho, YEBISU GARDEN CINEMA, and other locations. It is about Park Chung-hee, who seized power through a military coup and wielded such great power that he was criticized as a dictator.
He was assassinated on October 26, 1979, by his close aide, Kim Jae-gyu, head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA), who was rumored to be the country's number two.
This is a partly fictional story about three men who were involved in a sensational trial and one of the biggest historical events in modern Korean history, from the October 26th assassination of the president to the December 12th military coup.
This is a work based on historical facts, with a mix of historical facts and historical events. This is a TV series-like story that tells the story of the presidential assassination trial, which is said to be the worst trial in Korean history, from the perspectives of those defending, those being tried, and those manipulating the story behind the scenes.
The director is Joo Changmin, who also directed the film The Man Who Became King. He has fully demonstrated the skills he showed in his previous film, vividly portraying the silent cries of the people who lived at that time.

The tear-jerking Japanese version teaser has been released! The Japanese version poster released this time features Jo Jo as the original character of the movie, lawyer Jeong In-hoo, who will stop at nothing to win.
Lee Seong Kyu (INFINITE) plays Park Tae-ju, a simple-minded soldier who gets caught up in an assassination case on the orders of his superior officer, whom Jeong In-hoo defends, and Jeong Sang-doo, the head of the joint investigation team who manipulates the trial behind the scenes.
The three, who share the same fate in the worst trial in Korean history, are lined up together, and the serious expressions on their faces are impressive.
The meaningful copy, "There was someone who needed to be saved," makes us imagine the human beings hidden behind the story.

The inside story of the "Presidential Assassination Trial" has finally been revealed! This unknown trial, which connects the 1979 presidential assassination to the military coup, began immediately after the trial began with the head of the joint investigation team, Jeong Sang, who is targeting the next dictator.
The courtroom was being manipulated by receiving numerous memos from Du. Lawyer Jung In-hoo was angry about this and fought for a fair trial.
On the other hand, even though his life was at stake, he said, "I will follow orders," and did not make excuses or plead for his life, showing his pride as a soldier.
Seeing Park Tae-ju's determination, lawyer Jeong In-hoo felt even more strongly that he wanted to save this clumsy man and that he "deserves to be saved."
At the end of the video, lawyer Jung In-hoo smiles with a tearful face, and
"You are a true lawyer," says military officer Park Tae-ju with a calm expression, making for an impressive scene. What will become of the worst trial in Korean history, which was manipulated by the powers that be and closed in just 16 days?
The movie will move everyone to tears as soldier Park Tae-ju makes his final choice in the final 10 minutes. In addition, from Friday, June 27th, the movie will be available for purchase at the screening theaters and on Major's online store, as a special edition with an original sticker.
