'HUMINT' Runs Ice-Cold &Red-Hot: 2026's First Big Action Event

The film "HUMINT" has unveiled a dozen new stills that capture its frosty mood and high-stakes energy.

Set in Vladivostok―where secrets and truths sink into the icy sea―the thriller tracks a collision of players chasing clashing agendas.

The 12 stills released on the 13th spotlight NIS operative Manager Cho (Jo In-sung), North Korea’s Ministry of State Security section chief Park Geon (Park Jung-min), North Korean Consul General in Vladivostok Hwang Chi-seong (Park Hae-jun), and a North Korean restaurant worker, Chae Sun-hwa (Shin Sae-kyoung), all converging in the frigid port city―and promising a fiery showdown.

Group shots hint at razor-wire tension tempered with flashes of vulnerability. New faces―NIS agent Assistant Manager Lim (Jung Yoo-jin) and North Korean consulate staffer Geum Tae (Lee Shin-ki)―add layers to the intrigue. The stills, paired with a cast that’s both trusted and fresh, tease a propulsive narrative to come.

Aiming squarely at the Lunar New Year box office, "HUMINT" opens February 11.
