Hyun Bin Explores the Depths of Ambition in 'Made In Korea 2'

Actor Hyun Bin kicked off the new season with much deeper acting in the Disney+ original series "Made In Korea Season 2".

"Made In Korea Season 2" is a noir drama depicting the perilous journey of Baek Ki-tae (played by Hyun Bin), who runs wild toward even greater ambition nine years later. Baek Ki-tae, who raced relentlessly toward wealth and power in Season 1, returned in Season 2 with a significantly elevated status after nine years.

Episodes 1 and 2, released on the 9th, captured attention by fully unfolding the changed appearance of Baek Ki-tae at the center of immense power. From his very first appearance, Baek Ki-tae had a one-on-one meeting with the President, revealing a status and authority distinctly different from before. In particular, sitting in the vacant presidential seat and putting a cigarette in his mouth directly showed his ambition to look higher even though he had already gained a lot, strongly announcing the beginning of Season 2.

Following this, standing in the Defense Security Command interrogation room after the Gungjeong-dong safehouse incident, Baek Ki-tae created intense tension by dominating the scene with an unshakable attitude and relaxed momentum. A subtle crack was also detected in his relationship with his younger brother Baek Ki-hyun (played by Woo Do Hwan). Baek Ki-tae, who pushes forward his own will while putting forward the relationship of family, and Baek Ki-hyun, who resists this, revealed the changed relationship between the two, foreshadowing the full-scale conflict between the brothers to come.

Hyun Bin densely portrayed Baek Ki-tae, who has changed as much as the passage of nine years. He expressed the confidence of a person in power with restrained expressions and lines that do not easily reveal emotions, a gaze that overwhelms the opponent, and a relaxed attitude, while delicately capturing the tension hidden behind them, adding depth to the character.

Anticipation is gathering for what choices Baek Ki-tae will make in the future, how those choices will shake up his relationships with surrounding figures, and the new faces and emotional variations that Hyun Bin will show in the process.

"Made In Korea Season 2" consists of a total of six episodes, with two new episodes released sequentially every Wednesday.
