**Park Jeong-min as Park Geon** is the film’s moral surprise. His character is disciplined and loyal, but also thoughtful — not simply an enemy figure, but a complex person dealing with his own responsibilities and beliefs. Park Jeong-min previously won Best Supporting Actor for *Deliver Us From Evil* (2020).

**Shin Se-kyung as Chae Seon-hwa** carries the film’s heart. She represents ordinary people trapped in dangerous situations because of larger political conflicts — her performance showing fear, courage, and vulnerability, making her character deeply relatable. This marks her first major film role in over a decade. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humint_(film))

**Park Hae-joon as Hwang Chi-seong** is the villain you’ll love to hate — his role shows that sometimes the biggest threats come from inside the system rather than outside enemies.
