Recently, Hyun Bin, who won the first-ever joint best actor award for a married couple with his wife Son Ye-jin at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, returns with a new project.
Disney+ original series "Made In Korea" (director Woo Min-ho, writers Park Eun-kyo·Park Joon-seok, adapted by Woo Min-ho·Kim Jin-seok, presented by The Walt Disney Company Korea, produced by ㈜HYBE Media Corp.) released a character still of "Baek Gi-tae" that captures Hyun Bin perfectly transformed into a central intelligence agency Director conducting a mysterious business, drawing attention.
In 1970s Korea, where turmoil and leap coexist, the story of 'Made In Korea' follows company man "Baek Gi-tae" (Hyun Bin), who seeks to use the state as a revenue model to rise to the pinnacle of wealth and power, and prosecutor "Jang Geon-young" (Jung Woo-sung), who relentlessly pursues him to the edge with terrifying determination, as they face massive events that cut across the era. The series has released a character still of "Baek Gi-tae" showing Hyun Bin perfectly transformed into a central intelligence agency Director who unfolds a mysterious business.
From the films Harbin, Negotiation, the Confidential Assignment series, to the drama Crash Landing on You, Hyun Bin, who has built solid trust with outstanding acting across genres, takes on his first OTT series challenge with Disney+ original series "Made In Korea." The role of "Baek Gi-tae" in this project is a central intelligence agency Director who uses the state as a business means to reach the very top of wealth and power. Through a character that shows the clearest ambition and raw desire among the roles he has taken, he is expected to show a face never seen before. Also, because the work anticipates meticulous psychological warfare among characters who cooperate and clash while pursuing their own goals, it raises expectations for a deeper stage of inner acting from Hyun Bin.
The released "Baek Gi-tae" character still captures Hyun Bin's weighty presence, perfectly blended into the central intelligence agency space, the heart of Korea's power. Contrary to his relaxed seated posture, his sharply shining gaze reveals the chilling aura of "Baek Gi-tae," who aims for the pinnacle of public authority. In the cold gray office of the central intelligence agency, his upright stance conveys a restrained intimidation of someone awaiting the opportunity to gain greater power with unwavering conviction, making viewers more curious about Hyun Bin's new performance in "Made In Korea."
Disney+ original series "Made In Korea," which promises high completeness and overwhelming immersion through its powerful casting lineup and well-made production team, will release episodes on Disney+ as follows: two episodes on Dec. 24 (Wed), two episodes on Dec. 31 (Wed), one episode on Jan. 7 (Wed), and one episode on Jan. 14 (Wed), for a total of six episodes.
