Ryu Seung-wan's New Film 'Humint' Set for February 2026 Release with First Posters and Teaser

Director Ryu Seung-wan's latest film 'Humint' is set to premiere on February 11, 2026, during the Lunar New Year holiday, with the release of two initial posters and a launch teaser.

'Humint' tells the story of individuals clashing with different objectives. The first poster features NIS black agent Jo Gwang-jang (played by Jo In-sung) tracking international crime, North Korean security officer Park Geon (Park Jung-min) dispatched to Vladivostok, North Korean Consul General Hwang Chi-seong (Park Hae-joon) wary of Park Geon's presence, and North Korean restaurant worker Chae Seon-hwa (Shin Se-kyung) who connects with Jo Gwang-jang. The combination of these four actors suggests an intense narrative set against the cold backdrop of Vladivostok.

Another poster presents a montage of the four characters' profiles, sparking curiosity about the character-driven story Ryu Seung-wan will unfold. The phrase 'Human intelligence' on the poster explains the film's theme.

The accompanying launch teaser showcases the four characters and promises an exhilarating cinematic experience with chase and shootout action scenes. The sharp visuals of Jo In-sung, Park Jung-min, and Park Hae-joon, along with Shin Se-kyung's enigmatic presence, signal a must-see lineup of actors in theaters.

'Humint' is the third installment in Ryu Seung-wan's overseas location trilogy following 'Berlin' and 'Escape from Mogadishu,' capturing the unique scenery of Vladivostok through its Latvia location. With the synergy of captivating actors like Jo In-sung, Park Jung-min, Park Hae-joon, and Shin Se-kyung, the film is set to captivate audiences as it kicks off 2026.
