In a recent interview, actor Jo In-sung shared his thoughts on starring in three major films set to release in 2026, including 'Humint,' directed by Na Hong-jin, and 'Possible Love,' directed by Lee Chang-dong. He humorously noted his tendency to think of the projects as his own, despite their collaborative nature. Jo emphasized that the success of these projects is a collective effort, highlighting the roles of his co-stars and the collaborative atmosphere on set.

Jo reflected on his evolution from his early days, marked by his role in the 2004 drama 'What Happened in Bali,' to his current portrayal of a skilled National Intelligence Service agent in 'Humint.' This film marks the third time he has played such a role, and he noted that it incorporates a significant amount of action while maintaining a relatable, everyday demeanor for the character. Jo's performance aims to merge the intensity required for the role with the subtlety of portraying a typical office worker in high-stakes situations.

He shared insights into the creative process, revealing that the film's director often encouraged him to embody qualities like warmth and kindness, even while enacting thrilling action scenes. Jo strives to strip away excess emotional display during close-up scenes to portray his character’s complexity authentically. His journey reflects a harmonious blend of skill and depth developed over two decades, showcasing his transition from a star to a respected actor with a clear artistic vision.
