The released character posters feature a tense composition, including figures from the Central Intelligence Agency, the Presidential Office, and those operating in the United States, who form the core of the story.
Notably, all the posters exude a retro atmosphere, as if directly utilizing the look from when color photography first appeared in 1979.
Kim Gyu-pyeong, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the second most powerful figure who reigned above the constitution, is played by Lee Byung-hun.
