It was a time to learn what it looks like to shoot a gun with one hand and how to shoot while moving." Actor Jo In-seong, who returned to the big screen after three years with director Ryu Seung-wan's new film 'Humint', said that he actually received firearms training at the National Intelligence Service to play the role of Director Jo, an agent of the National Intelligence Service. At a press conference held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 4th, Jo In-seong said, "I decided to appear before receiving the script because the director and I trust each other so much." 'Humint' is a work depicting the complex conflict between the National Intelligence Service, North Korea's Ministry of Security and Security, and the North Korean Consulate General in Vladivostok, Russia. Director Ryu and Jo In-seong work together for the third time following ‘Mogadishu’ (2021) and ‘Smuggling’ (2023). Jo In-seong expressed his anticipation ahead of the release, saying, "I had many conversations with the director on set and worked together to create the film. I filmed in Latvia around this time last year and waited for the day to present the film to audiences as soon as possible."

Park Geon is a competent and principled person at work, but he is portrayed as a gentle person who gives up everything for the lover he has in mind, Chae Seon-hwa (Shin Se-kyung). Park Jung-min said, “As Park Geon, I can make choices and decisions that I cannot make as the human Park Jung-min,” and added, “It was a shoot that made me think about how far I would go for the sake of just one person (Chae Seon-hwa).” Shin Se-kyung, who plays Park Geon's lover Chae Seon-hwa, showed confidence in her melodrama chemistry, saying that she often felt excited while watching Park Jung-min's acting. Shin Se-kyung added, "Seeing Park Geon on the monitor on set was really cool," and added, "Even from the perspective of a female audience member, I thought, 'I can capture women's hearts.'"
