Korean Film 'Humint' Concludes Unique Exhibition at DDP

The film 'Humint' directed by Ryoo Seung-wan has successfully wrapped up its groundbreaking exhibition at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), marking a first for Korean cinema.

Set to release on February 11, 'Humint' held a special exhibition from January 12 to January 25 at the DDP's Igansumun Exhibition Hall. This collaboration between Korea's iconic cultural space and the film industry was unprecedented, expanding the cinematic experience into an offline setting and generating buzz from the start. The exhibition featured photos taken by actor Park Jung-min and still photographer Kim Jin-young, along with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, offering a unique experience for moviegoers eagerly anticipating the film.

Social media is abuzz with reviews from attendees who experienced the exhibition. Visitors shared their excitement with comments like "Ready for 'Humint' after the exhibition!", "Makes you want to book movie tickets right after," and "A rich and atmospheric space."

Videos of the actors' official visits were also released online following the exhibition's preview. The footage shows the cast reminiscing about filming as they view each photo, highlighting their strong camaraderie.

'Humint' tells the story of individuals with different agendas clashing in Vladivostok, where secrets and truths are submerged in the icy sea. The film is set to hit theaters on February 11, just in time for the Lunar New Year holiday.
