"Smugglers" is a Korean film directed by ‘Ryoo Seung-wan’ and is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 26, 2023.

The cast includes 'Kim Hye-soo', 'Yeom Jung-ah', 'Zo In-sung', 'Park Jung-min', 'Kim Jong-soo' and 'Gomin-si'.

Set in the 1970s in a peaceful small coastal village, the story revolves around the action crime involving a "haenyeo" (female diver) who gets caught up in smuggling activities.

Prior to the underwater and seaside shooting, the actors trained for about three months.

"Haenyeo" is a term used in Korean to refer to 'female divers' who gather various marine products, such as abalone, seaweed, and sea urchins by free diving without the use of scuba equipment.

This traditional occupation has been practiced for centuries in coastal regions of Korea, notably on 'Jeju Island'.

"Haenyeo" are known for their exceptional diving skills, endurance, and deep understanding of the sea.
