Starting with actors Cho In-sung and Park Jung-min, Park Hae-joon and Shin Se-kyung will help. Humint, which adds fun and tension, comes to the audience.

On the 12th, a production briefing session for the movie "Humint" (director Ryu Seung-wan) was held at the entrance of Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Director Ryu Seung-wan, Cho In-sung, Park Jung-min, Park Hae-joon and Shin Se-kyung attended the meeting to talk about various things.

"Humint" is a story in which people with different purposes clash in Vladivostok, where secrets and truth are buried in an icy sea. This work is a trilogy of overseas locations by director Ryu Seung-wan, which connects "Berlin" and "Mogadishu," capturing Vladivostok's unique scenery through Latvian locations.

Cho In-sung, who made his first relationship with director Ryu Seung-wan through "Mogadishu" in 2021, will make a comeback on the screen as Cho, chief of the NIS' black agent of "Humint."Cho In-sung, who collaborated with director Ryu Seung-wan for the third time with "Mogadishu" and "Humint" after "Mogadishu" and "Secrets," said, "We became more intimate while filming, and knowing each other well, I think we could have known the demands that the director wanted better."

He continued, "I thought a few times that the director would be very lonely because it was my third work. "I think I talked more about the work when I did because there was a part where I had to solve all my concerns alone, and I worked hard as a monitoring agent to see what I was filming now," he said.

Cho In-sung will perform a dignified action performance that can be digested with his unique physicality in "Humint." He said, "I did a lot of action with the director while working on the previous work, and because the director knows the action well, he is a person who takes detailed steps such as the angle, the feeling of reaching out, and reactions. He said, "It was a work that should not be spared," and added, "I tried to look dignified, but it wasn't easy."

Park Jung-min will play the role of Park Gun, the head of North Korea's national security team in "Humint." Park Gun is a person who is dispatched to Vladivostok after receiving a new mission. He has built up achievements with cool judgment and astute movements in everything, but his mind begins to crack due to Chae Sun-hwa (Shin Se-kyung) who he met by chance.

He said, "In fact, the character Park Gun has a different action before and after feeling emotional cracks. There is also a feeling with Seonhwa, but there is also a bromance with Chief Cho and an emotional exchange with Hwang Chi-sung. I'm the one at the center of emotions," he explained.

As for the action acting, Park Jung-min said, "The director is such a representative action movie director in Korea. This time, the attitude toward action changed. To like the director, you have to practice in-depth, but the director shows me hapkido whenever he sees me on the spot. He bent my hands and body, and one day he came to the room and demonstrated, so he learned a lot. From a distance, I was like an uncle bullying my nephew," he said, giving a laugh.

In particular, coach Ryu Seung-wan said Cho In-sung and Park Jung-min were the starting points of "Humint." Director Ryu said, "The two actors started. Previously, I worked on different films, but after working together in "The Secret Agent," I strongly felt that I wanted to shoot a movie with these two actors at the forefront. So these two actors were the beginning of this movie. "I wanted to show off the charm of actors Cho In-sung and Park Jung-min on the screen," he said.

Park Hae-joon plays Hwang Chi-sung, North Korea's consul general in Vladivostok, completing the film in a more three-dimensional way. Hwang Chi-seong, played by Park Hae-joon, is in conflict with Park Geon, a North Korean security officer who came to Vladivostok to monitor him.

He focused on "desire," he said, adding, "As with this character's position, there is a desire to continue power. He explained that he is a very attractive character. As for the action, he said, "I don't think there's anything more action hits me with my body than the two in the front. I do a lot of gun action. In the past, he shot like Rambo from the army. Every shot told. I felt good because it all collapsed when I shot it. In addition, when it comes to action, there is a ballpoint pen action, and you will know it when you see it," he said.

Director Ryu Seung-wan, who worked with Park Hae-joon for the first time, said, "I saw him for the first time in the movie '4th place' (2016), and from then on, I was fascinated by 'Where did that actor come from?' This is my first time working on it, and I was a little hesitant about playing a villain. I hung on because I wanted to be with you so much. It may be that you've had a lot of conversations with me. I said everything I tried to seduce somehow, everything I didn't have. It was great to work on it myself," he said.

Chae Sun-hwa, played by Shin Se-kyung, is an employee of a North Korean restaurant in Vladivostok, where she is entangled with all the characters, including Chief Cho (In-sung), who suggests an informant, Park Gun (Park Jung-min), and Hwang Chi-sung (Park Hae-joon).

Shin Se-kyung will return to the screen for the first time in 12 years since the movie "Taza-God's Hand" (2014). He said, "It's been 12 years, but I'm even more excited to be able to visit you with a good production with a good director and good colleagues. I think the audience will see me like this on the screen for the first time," he said.

He then said of filming Latvia, "It's not easy to stay outside of home in the mid- to long-term, so there must have been basic difficulties. But I enjoyed that time. "It was fierce to stay with people in the same boat in a city, and I think there were many shiny moments," he recalled.

He shows a song in the movie. Shin Se-kyung said, "There is no shortcut to singing practice, so I often visit my vocal teacher, and I was an amateur who had to learn everything now, so I had no choice but to learn sincerely. "I had to sing in North Korean, so I had to pay a lot of attention to the language," he said.

"I thought it was important to harmonize well because it was the core of the characters in the movie, and Sun-hwa moved with a purpose, but I paid a lot of attention to harmonizing well in that situation while meeting the character," he said.

Finally, Cho In-sung said, "I think we can see the hot acting of beautiful mise-en-scène and actors," and Park Jung-min said, "It's a movie suitable for cold weather." It is a movie that starts cool and ends hot when people become more emotional and lonely in this weather. I'm also looking forward to it," he said.

Emphasizing the 'fun and tension' of 'Humint', director Ryu Seung-wan said, "I want to make the theater a playground for the audience again through this work. I will visit you soon," he said, asking for expectations.
