Hyun Bin Embarks on First OTT Series 'Made in Korea', Character Stills as NIS Agent Revealed

Following his recent joint Best Actor win with wife Son Ye-jin at the 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards, actor Hyun Bin is set to captivate audiences once again in the new Disney+ original series 'Made in Korea'.

'Made in Korea' is set in the turbulent 1970s South Korea, a period of both chaos and rapid growth. The series follows the story of a man who aims to reach the pinnacle of wealth and power by treating the nation as a business model, and the prosecutor who relentlessly pursues him.

Hyun Bin takes on the role of 'Baek Ki-tae', a section chief at the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA). This marks his highly anticipated debut in an OTT series, where he is expected to showcase a raw ambition and desire previously unseen in his career, building upon his proven acting prowess across genres like 'Harbin', 'The Negotiation', the 'Confidential Assignment' series, and the drama 'Crash Landing on You'.

The newly released character stills of 'Baek Ki-tae' feature Hyun Bin exuding a heavy aura, perfectly fitting into the heart of power, the KCIA offices. His sharp gaze, contrasted with a relaxed posture, hints at the chilling ambition of 'Baek Ki-tae' as he seeks the highest echelons of authority, further amplifying anticipation for his deepened performance.

'Made in Korea' will consist of a total of six episodes and will be released sequentially starting December 24th.

Fans are expressing excitement over Hyun Bin's first OTT series venture, with comments like 'So excited for Hyun Bin's comeback!', 'Baek Ki-tae role looks so intense, Hyun Bin in the 70s sounds amazing', and 'Guess I need to subscribe to Disney+' flooding social media.
