Actor Hyun Bin mentioned the level of success he expects from "Made In Korea".
On the morning of Dec. 15 at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam District, Seoul, a press conference was held for the new Disney+ series "Made In Korea." Director Woo Min-ho attended the press conference along with actors Hyun Bin, Jung Woo-sung, Woo Do-hwan, Seo Eun-soo, Won Ji-an, Jung Sung-il, Kang Gil-woo, Noh Jae-won and Park Yong-woo.
"Made In Korea" is the story of Baek Ki-tae (played by Hyun Bin), who aims to make the state a revenue model and rise to the pinnacle of wealth and power amid the turmoil and leap of the 1970s Korea, and prosecutor Jang Geon-young (played by Jung Woo-sung), who pursues him to the brink with terrifying determination, as they confront major events that cut across the era. The series consists of six episodes and will be released on Dec. 24.
Hyun Bin returns to television drama after six years with "Made In Korea," following the 2020 conclusion of tvN's "Crash Landing on You." Because "Crash Landing on You" was the work that led him to meet his wife Son Ye-jin, his return to drama after six years drew attention. In particular, "Crash Landing on You" enjoyed massive popularity in Japan and received great love globally.
At the event, when asked whether he had expectations for the performance of "Made In Korea," Hyun Bin revealed his hopes, saying, "I shouldn't set my expectations too high, but I hope it does as well as Crash Landing on You did."
He added, "And since you mentioned Japan, our episode 1 has the first portion performed in Japanese. So viewers might see me in a different light, but I'm not holding too high expectations."
Meanwhile, Disney+'s "Made In Korea" will premiere on Dec. 24.
