HUMINT, Information from a Single Human
HUMINT, information from a single human
2026's Korean spy thriller <HUMINT> depicts a multinational intelligence operation across Riga (Latvia), Seoul, and the DMZ. The military term HUMINT — human intelligence — is the title.
Riga Old Town night sequences are the core. Twenty-first-century spycraft unfolds where 12th-century Hanseatic buildings still stand.
Cooperation with the Latvian government enabled controlled shoots around the Freedom Monument and the Zeppelin Market — the first Korean film to shoot solo in Latvia.
Information is a person's heart. The weakest code there is.
