Hyun Bin Transforms into Ambitious NIS Agent Baek Ki-tae in 'Made in Korea', Promises Overwhelming Charisma

Disney+ original series 'Made in Korea' is drawing attention by releasing the poster and character teaser video for Baek Ki-tae, showcasing actor Hyun Bin's powerful presence.

Set in the turbulent South Korea of the 1970s, 'Made in Korea' tells the story of Baek Ki-tae (played by Hyun Bin), a man aiming for the pinnacle of wealth and power by exploiting the nation, and prosecutor Jang Geon-young (played by Jung Woo-sung), who relentlessly pursues him.

Hyun Bin, who has firmly established himself as a representative actor in Korea through diverse genres, hints at a new acting transformation in 'Made in Korea' as Baek Ki-tae, a division chief at the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA).

Baek Ki-tae is a character who uses the nation as a business model, fueling endless ambition for wealth and power. He will navigate a bold double life as a KCIA division chief at the center of state power and a businessman orchestrating dangerous ventures.

The released poster features Hyun Bin with a sharp gaze, wearing a bugging device, against the silhouette of the Korean peninsula, exuding an unusual charisma. The accompanying copy, 'I am a businessman,' heightens curiosity about the business world Baek Ki-tae will unfold and the dangerous desires hidden within.

The character teaser video begins with Hyun Bin's silhouette in black and white. His narration, 'This game is a fight to the death for someone. And it won't be me,' rapidly escalates the tension. Sharp cuts and suspenseful music enhance the immersive experience. Hyun Bin's cold eyes, calm gestures, and expressions as he gazes at the camera concisely portray Baek Ki-tae's ruthless yet unwavering character, raising questions about how he will lead this power game.

His line, 'I will bring down those with greater power than me and ultimately change the world. Because the world is originally a battlefield for the powerful,' hints at Baek Ki-tae's firm values in an era where might made right, leaving a profound lingering impression.

Promising unparalleled immersion and tension with explosive acting synergy from top actors and a dense narrative spanning the era, 'Made in Korea' will be released with two episodes on December 24th, followed by two episodes on December 31st, and one episode each on January 7th and January 14th, totaling six episodes, exclusively on Disney+.
