Made In Korea's actors Jeong Seong-il, Kang Gil-woo, No Jae-won and Park Yong-woo are expected to deliver powerful presences.
On the 11th, Disney+ original series Made In Korea released character stills of the irresistibly charming "Cheon Seok-jung," "Kang Dae-il," "Pyo Hak-su," and "Hwang Guk-pyeong."
In 1970s Korea, when turmoil and leap coexist, the story follows company man "Baek Gi-tae" (Hyun Bin), who seeks to make the state a revenue model to reach the peak of wealth and power, and prosecutor "Jang Geon-yeong" (Jung Woo-sung), who fearlessly pursues him to the edge with terrifying determination, as they confront monumental events that span the era. Made In Korea released character stills of Jeong Seong-il, Kang Gil-woo, No Jae-won and Park Yong-woo, who completed distinctive characters in the work with outstanding acting, drawing attention.
First, Jeong Seong-il, who left a strong impression with overwhelming acting in The Glory, shows another face as "Cheon Seok-jung" in Made In Korea. "Cheon Seok-jung," the presidential security chief, is a born businessman and strategist who doesn't trust people but trusts money, and Jeong Seong-il expresses fierce ambition with restrained charisma, raising expectations. "Cheon Seok-jung" is the embodiment of "living power" who earns the admiration of "Baek Gi-tae" (Hyun Bin), and he will add tension to the narrative with a solid presence. In the released stills, the image of "Cheon Seok-jung" exudes a solid yet sharp energy that dominates the atmosphere. In particular, his fierce stare at someone across stacks of bills conveys commanding charisma. Jeong Seong-il also said, "Because the character can be clearly revealed in every scene, I wondered, 'How far can this character rise?' and chose 'Cheon Seok-jung,'" creating anticipation for the trajectory of a person with limitless power.
Kang Gil-woo is a veteran actor who has steadily built his filmography with a chameleon-like ability to handle any genre. In Made In Korea, he plays "Kang Dae-il," the captain of the action squad of the Manjae faction, a gangster controlling Busan's economy, and will portray a man who struggles to fulfill his own desires with steady acting. Kang Gil-woo, who perfectly embodied "Kang Dae-il," a presence between "Baek Gi-tae" and "Jang Geon-yeong" (Jung Woo-sung), said, "Who would refuse such an attractive character?" expressing his affection for the role without reservation. The tense expression and sharp gaze in the released stills foreshadow the various conflicts surrounding "Kang Dae-il," who leads the Manjae faction, and raise curiosity about the reality of the desires he pursues. The reason interest is gathering is to see what cracks and repercussions "Kang Dae-il's" choices will cause as he fights to survive in a chaotic era.
No Jae-won is a rising actor who recently appeared in the Squid Game Season series as well as Daily Dose of Sunshine, Murderer? Nice, and Doubt, drawing attention with an undefinable, peculiar charm. In Made In Korea, he plays "Pyo Hak-su," a long-serving director well versed in the workings of the organization who acts as a bridge between "Baek Gi-tae," "Cheon Seok-jung," and "Hwang Guk-pyeong" (Park Yong-woo), showcasing another charm. In the stills, "Pyo Hak-su" evokes curiosity with intense eyes that contrast with his soft face. As No Jae-won said, "Pyo Hak-su does many acts that could get him killed with one wrong move, so he is someone who steels himself every moment," the unpredictability of "Pyo Hak-su," who acts cautiously yet boldly among numerous power holders, will offer special entertainment in the work.
Finally, Park Yong-woo, who has deepened his performances with seasoned acting in each work, attracts attention by playing the notorious nighttime president "Hwang Guk-pyeong" in Made In Korea. Park Yong-woo, loved as a "reliable actor" who has handled countless characters, transforms into a singular villain who abuses state office to commit egregious crimes. In the released stills, "Hwang Guk-pyeong" fixes his appearance in a mirror and, with a haughty posture, lights a cigar, drawing attention. As Park Yong-woo said, "Expressing the frailty of a person is solemn and heavy, but there could also be comedic points, so when I met the role of 'Hwang Guk-pyeong,' I felt various pathos could be mixed in," the vivid stills stimulate curiosity about "Hwang Guk-pyeong" in the work. The three-dimensional characters completed by the actors' deep interpretations increase the narrative density and amplify interest in Made In Korea.
Disney+ original series Made In Korea, which raises expectations with the characters' varied charms, will begin by releasing episodes 1 and 2 on Wednesday the 24th and will meet viewers as a six-episode series.
