“The Assassin(s)” Cancels All Scheduled Events At 2026 Busan International Film Festival

“The Assassin(s)” will no longer attend its scheduled events at the Busan International Film Festival.

On October 2, Hive Media Corp., the production company behind the film, announced that it had canceled the film’s planned Busan International Film Festival appearances.

Below is its official statement:

Hello, this is Hive Media Corp., the production company behind “The Assassin(s).”

After careful consideration and taking into account the safety of audiences and attendees, we have decided not to participate in the Busan International Film Festival Opening Ceremony or the Outdoor Stage Greeting scheduled for October 7.

After carefully reviewing the current situation surrounding the film, we made this decision to ensure everyone’s safety and allow the event to proceed smoothly. We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to these events, and deeply appreciate your understanding.

The outdoor stage greeting for “The Assassin(s)” was originally scheduled to be attended by director Hur Jin Ho and actors Yoo Hae Jin, Park Hae Il, and Lee Min Ho.

“The Assassin(s)” follows an investigation into the mystery and forces behind the 1974 assassination attempt that shocked South Korea.

Since its release on September 23, the film has faced controversy over allegations of historical distortion surrounding certain elements of the story.

Amid the controversy, Lee Min Ho’s “Actors House” event at the 31st Busan International Film Festival, originally scheduled for October 7, was also canceled. As a result, all official Busan International Film Festival events related to “The Assassin(s)” have now been called off.

The 31st Busan International Film Festival will kick off on October 6 and run for 10 days through October 15.

The 2026 Global Citizen Festival has been cancelled at the last minute due to safety concerns.

On September 25 local time, Global Citizen announced that “due to the extreme weather forecast for New York City this weekend,” it had made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Global Citizen Festival.

The Global Citizen Festival, which was scheduled to take place the following night on September 26, was originally set to feature TXT as one of its headliners alongside Lauryn Hill & Wyclef Jean, Lenny Kravitz, Lainey Wilson, and Shaboozey, with Hugh Jackman serving as host.

Global Citizen’s official announcement can be found below:

Due to the extreme weather forecast for New York City this weekend, we have made the difficult decision, in consultation with the City of New York and NYC Parks, to cancel this year’s Global Citizen Festival.

Forecasts predict dangerous conditions and circumstances in which we cannot safely bring tens of thousands of Global Citizens, artists, crew, vendors, partners, and staff onto the Great Lawn, let alone all of the equipment required. Safety has to come first. This is the first time in 14 years we’ve had to cancel. We have spent this week working through countless contingencies, which were ultimately not possible, and cancelling is a decision we have not taken lightly.

Global Citizen also shared the following information regarding refunds:

If you purchased tickets to the Festival, your refunds will be processed automatically.

If you made a donation to secure your ticket, you can have this refunded, too.

“Possible Love” Stars Jeon Do Yeon, Zo In Sung, Cho Yeo Jeong, And Sul Kyung Gu Share Thoughts On Historic Win At Venice Film Festival

The stars of “Possible Love” have shared their thoughts on the film’s historic win at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival!

On September 12, director Lee Chang Dong’s new film “Possible Love” became the first Korean movie ever to win the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival.

Although stars Jeon Do Yeon, Zo In Sung, Cho Yeo Jeong, and Sul Kyung Gu attended the Venice Film Festival last week for the film’s world premiere—where it received a six-minute standing ovation—they were unable to attend the closing ceremony due to their schedule at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Because the actors were unable to join director Lee Chang Dong when he received the award, they shared their thoughts in a separate statement released through Netflix.

Congratulating Lee Chang Dong on the win, Jeon Do Yeon remarked, “I hope that this award becomes a major driving force for the director as he writes his next project. Seeing him win this award, I’m already curious about what kind of film he will show us next.”

Zo In Sung shared, “I’m so grateful that our film has received such a major award. This is a huge honor. Above all else, I believe this precious achievement came about thanks to the hard work and support of those who have given Korean cinema their unchanging love. Once again, I bow my head in gratitude.”

2026 Busan International Film Festival Announces 3 New Korean Dramas To Premiere At Event

The 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) has announced three highly anticipated Korean drama series that will premiere at this year’s festival!

On August 25, BIFF announced that its “On Screen” section will showcase Lee Jae Wook and Go Min Si’s Netflix series “Dead-End Job,” Disney+’s fantasy romance “The Remarried Empress,” and Son Suk Ku’s Netflix series “Road” (working title).

The “On Screen” section highlights the year’s most highly anticipated new drama series, expanding the scope and value of the cinematic experience by bringing exciting series premieres from around the world to the big screen.

“Dead-End Job” has drawn attention for its ensemble cast featuring Lee Jae Wook, Go Min Si, Kim Min Ha, and Lee Hee Joon. Directed by Kim Da Min, the series uses a suspicious part-time job as its setting to tell a story rooted in reality, blending inventive imagination with mystery.

Disney+’s highly anticipated “The Remarried Empress” is an upcoming fantasy romance that has already garnered attention for its star-studded cast, including Shin Min Ah, Ju Ji Hoon, Lee Jong Suk, and Lee Se Young. The series is directed by Jo Soo Won, who previously helmed “I Hear Your Voice” and “Thirty But Seventeen.”

“Road” is the latest series from director Han Jun Hee, whose film “Coin Locker Girl” was invited to the Critics’ Week at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, while his series “D.P.” won Best Drama in the TV category at the 2022 Baeksang Arts Awards. Starring Son Suk Ku, Nagayama Eita, Kim Shin Rok, and others, the series follows the investigation into the truth behind a cross-border serial murder mystery.

The 31st Busan International Film Festival will take place from October 6 to 15.
