Some of the sweetfish fish used during filming also died.
Advocates sent a questionnaire to Showbox, the production company of "Tombbreak," regarding the scenes in which the pig's "The Body" and the sweetfish's "The Body" appeared, and Showbox responded on the 18th.
In the response letter sent to KARA, Showbox asked questions such as whether the five pig bodies that appeared in the scene of the exorcism ritual performed by the shrine maiden in the movie were replicas.
"We secured five pig bodies from a company that normally distributes and trades livestock products," Showbox said. "The parts that are necessary for the film's expression will be added in the art direction, etc.
"It was confirmed that the fish were collected by the relevant business operator after the photo was taken," he said. "In the case of fish, they were selected from specialized fish farms for food, and those that had exceeded the normal life expectancy were collected," he continued.
"We utilized this technology and immediately after taking the photos outside the water, we moved them to an aquarium, but some of them died," the report said. It also said that no veterinarians were present at the scene, and only specialists and the head of the fish farm, the management body, were present.
In addition, "Live animals will appear in some scenes that are necessary for the film's portrayal, and some wild animals, such as foxes, which are impossible to film or train, will be handled with CG.
"Showbox will do its utmost to ensure that no live animals are unnecessarily injured or sacrificed in the future," it added.
KARA responded to Showbox on social media, stating, "Dead animals should not be used as filming props. No matter how many animals are slaughtered for food,
However, I cannot see that dismembering a human body with a knife for entertainment purposes again is an appropriate human attitude towards life."
