Yadang: The Snitch (Korean: 야당) is a 2025 South Korean crime film directed by Hwang Byeong-gug.

The cast also includes Ryu Kyung-soo and Chae Won-bin.

Production

According to director Hwang Byeong-gug, the idea for Yadang: The Snitch originated from a news article about the role of informants in drug investigations. Hwang conducted extensive field research, interviewing over 100 individuals including narcotics officers and former yadang (brokers), which helped shape the film's realism. During the research phase, Hwang was mistakenly detained by the police and underwent a drug test.

Art director Lee Mok-won, known for his work on Train to Busan (2016) and Along with the Gods series, conducted in-depth research to design sets that reflect both the physical world of narcotics investigations and the psychological shifts of the characters. Locations and set pieces were carefully crafted to mirror the internal states of the protagonists.

Hwang cast Park Hae-joon as narcotics detective Oh Sang-jae after previously working with Park during the filming of 12.12: The Day. Chae Won-bin was selected from over 100 candidates to play the role of Uhm Soo-jin, a disgraced former celebrity.

Principal photography for Yadang: The Snitch began on July 15, 2023 and ended on November.
