Jung Yoo-jin Takes on a New Challenge in 'Humint' as a Charismatic Intelligence Agent

Renowned for her intellectual charisma, actress Jung Yoo-jin is set to transform once again in the upcoming film 'Humint'.

'Humint' is a gripping tale set in the icy waters of Vladivostok, where secrets and truths are submerged, and individuals with different agendas clash. Directed by Ryoo Seung-wan, known for hits like 'Berlin' and 'Escape from Mogadishu', the film boasts a star-studded cast including Jo In-sung, Park Jung-min, Park Hae-joon, and Shin Se-kyung. Jung Yoo-jin plays the role of Im Daeri, a National Intelligence Service agent and the junior of Jo In-sung's character, Jo Gwa-jang, adding depth to the narrative.

Jung Yoo-jin has carved out a niche for herself by portraying 'capable characters'. She first gained attention as the driven office worker Kang Se-young in the drama 'Something in the Rain', and further solidified her intellectual image as the confident CEO Kang Hee-soo in 'Thirty But Seventeen'.

Her roles as the promising editor Song Hae-rin in 'Romance Is a Bonus Book' and the Metropolitan Investigation Unit's team leader Ha Ma-ri in 'Catch the Ghost' have established her as a reliable actress. In 'Remarriage & Desires', she showcased her expanded acting range as the elite lawyer Jin Yoo-hee, who stops at nothing to achieve her goals.

In 'Humint', Jung Yoo-jin's character Im Daeri epitomizes the pinnacle of these 'capable characters'. As the brain of the National Intelligence Service, she supports Jo Gwa-jang with her sharp analytical skills and work performance. Yet, she is also unafraid to express her opinions when she believes she is right, showcasing a boldness that is expected to heighten the film's tension through Jung Yoo-jin's unique intellectual aura and seasoned acting skills.

Having consistently received praise for her portrayal of 'capable characters', audiences are eager to see how Jung Yoo-jin will redefine her career with another powerful transformation in 'Humint'.

'Humint', featuring Jung Yoo-jin, is set to premiere in theaters nationwide on the 11th.
