The summer box-office hit 'Assassination' starringJun Ji Hyun,Lee Jung Jae,Ha Jung Wooand more, was earlier accused of plagiarism by authorChoi Jong Rim. And now the first plea date for the damages suit has been set.


Choi Jong Rim's suit against the film's creators will take place on November 12 atSeoul Central District Court.


The suit involves the parties directly responsible for the production of the film, including directorChoi Dong Hoon,Caper Film's CEOAhn Soo HyunandShow Box'sCEOYoo Jung Hoon, among others.


This past August 10, Choi Jong Rim had claimed that certain aspects of the movie, such as the female character, the wedding scene, and its overall background plagiarized his novel 'Korean Memories.'


Reps from 'Assassination' had refuted these claims, declaring that the scene in question was clearly different from the one in the novel. On August 18, thecourts had dismissedthe writer's injunction petition to ban the screening of the movie, reasoning that there weren't enough similarities between the novel and the movie to substantiate his grounds of plagiarism.
