Actor Hyunbin aims a gun while wearing a military uniform in Made In Korea.
On the 7th, the Disney+ original series Made In Korea released teaser still cuts ahead of the release of episode 5.
Made In Korea is a drama that depicts 1970s Korea, a time when turmoil and leap coexist, and the story of Baek Gi-tae, an executive who tries to reach the pinnacle of wealth and power by using the state as a revenue model, and Jang Geon-young (Jung Woosung), a prosecutor who relentlessly pursues him to the edge with terrifying determination, as they face monumental events that span the era. The released teaser stills for episode 5 captured moments of escalating confrontations over unrestrainedly rampaging desire.
First, the image of Baek Gi-tae (Hyunbin) setting out on a search in military uniform creates a completely different atmosphere from the face he has shown in previous works, drawing attention. The still of Baek Gi-tae in military uniform with a tense expression stimulates curiosity about his hidden narrative. Meanwhile, following the shocking ending of episode 4, a still capturing the shocked Jang Geon-young (Jung Woosung) raises interest in the changes he will undergo.
In the following stills, the contrasting images of brothers Baek Gi-tae and Baek Gi-hyun (Woo Do Hwan) are sharply juxtaposed, capturing attention. The agitated expression of Baek Gi-tae raises questions about the target of his anger, while the composed Baek Gi-hyun stares at his opponent with a calm face, adding a weighty tension. Also, Jang Geon-young shining a light from aboard a ship shows the sharp investigative instinct of a prosecutor who obsessively pursues the case.
Finally, as Ikeda Yuji (Won Jian) and Cheon Seok-jung (Jung Sung-il) face each other directly, they herald a new phase, and the meeting of the two power holders alone hints at strong ripples, amplifying curiosity about how the story will be shaken going forward.
Since the release of episodes 3-4, Made In Korea has drawn enthusiastic reactions from international subscribers, such as "I'm completely hooked even though it's not finished yet" (X, @k********), "It feels like watching a movie. The pacing, cinematography and visual direction are truly outstanding" (X, @h**********), "Stylish, clever and full of tension.

It's hard to wait each week" (YouTube, @B**********), and "An intriguing and fast-paced development" (WatchaPedia, Jang**)—all of which have heightened expectations for the story's rising developments.
