Chiefs of Namsan) is a 2020 South Korean historical political thriller film directed by Woo Min-ho.

[8] It was selected as the South Korean entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.

The director of the KCIA, Kim Gyu-pyeong, is nearly the second-in-command, but faces rivalry from the president's security chief.

Amid a reign of fear, a former KCIA director, Park Yong-gak, who knows all about the government's obscure and illegal operations, goes into exile, and testifies in front of the U.S. Congress, opening the floodgates to the investigation of Koreagate.

With his mission accomplished, Kim returns to South Korea and consequently, faces conflict with Kwak Sang-cheo, President Park's bodyguard.

In Paris, through means of wiretapping, Ham discovers that the KCIA agent was not acting on his own, but rather under orders from Kwak.

Kwak takes a hardline stance, advising harsh and swift military intervention, and declaration of martial law.

[13] As this happens, Kim's subordinates organize a coordinated attack on the compound where the dinner is being held and kill the remaining bodyguards.

Kim attempts to finish Kwak, but the pistol jams and he is forced to leave the room to get another gun from an agent.

After the screen goes black, a subtitle appears that Kim Gyu-pyeong was arrested at the Army Headquarters and hanged as the culprit in the President's assassination.

[17] Cary Darling of The Houston Chronicle rated it 4/5, writing: "Stylistically, there are echoes of such notable ’70s American political thrillers as “Parallax View” and “The Conversation.” Even if you’re not sure what’s going on at any given moment, it is never less than compelling.

In a review for The Guardian, Leslie Felperin noted the film "feels aimed more at a domestic audience" and rated it 3/5.

"[18] In a review for The Hollywood Reporter, John DeFore wrote: "Though touching on a le Carre-like web of loyalties, ambition and hidden agendas, the film (an adaptation of Kim Choong-Seek’s book KCIA Chiefs) is generally less engrossing than that might suggest, only coming to life in the sweaty hours leading up to that murder.
