The hot emotions hidden behind the cold espionage terminology heat up the screen. Director Ryoo Seung-wan's new work 'HUMINT' goes beyond simple information warfare, depicting the passionate narratives of characters swayed and moved by people.

At the center of this emotional storm is the North Korean restaurant employee 'Sun-hwa'. National Intelligence Service agent Jo (played by Jo In-sung) and North Korean Ministry of State Security officer Park Geon (played by Park Jung-min) find their emotions in turmoil due to the existence of Sun-hwa, and their intertwined relationship becomes the decisive force that turns the tide of a massive espionage war.

Actress Shin Se-kyung, who plays Sun-hwa, defined the core charm of this film as the 'melodramatic sentiment'. She expressed her thoughts on her participation, stating, "The melodramatic sentiment that runs throughout the work is thick and profound, which is appealing."

In particular, Shin Se-kyung highlighted the scene where the two men set out to save Sun-hwa. When Sun-hwa makes the dangerous choice to become Jo's informant for a purpose and finds herself in crisis, Jo, who has past trauma, and Park Geon, who is connected to her, engage in a 'desperate struggle' to rescue her.

This work holds special significance for Shin Se-kyung as it marks her first leading role on screen in 12 years since 'Tazza: The High Rollers' (2014). The film industry is focusing on her transformation under the direction of Ryoo Seung-wan.
