‘Smugglers’ (밀수) is a 2023 South Korean crime thriller directed by Ryoo Seung-Wan.

The film revolves around a group of female divers who get caught up in a smuggling ring against the background of a small peaceful sea village. The cast includes Kim Hye-Soo, Yum Jung-Ah, Zo In-Sung, Park Jung-Min, and Kim Jong-Soo.

Synopsis: When a chemical factory is built in the peaceful seaside town of Guncheon, the women lose their jobs overnight. While looking for a way to make ends meet, Jo Choon-Ja (Kim Hye-Soo) learns that you can make money simply by picking up the objects thrown into the sea, and makes an enticing proposal to Eom Jin-Sook (Yum Jung-Ah), the leader of the Haenyeos (women divers who are able to dive without equipment). And so Jin-Sook got involved in a smuggling operation that grew in earnest when she met Master Sergeant Kwon (Zo In-Sung), a smuggling king in the national district. One day, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune arrives, and the loyalties of the group are about to be severely tested… [© Far East Films]
