Hyun Bin is breaking down the meaning behind his razor-sharp styling in the Disney+ series "Made in Korea".
Speaking at a Season 1 wrap-up interview in Seoul’s Samcheong-dong on the 27th, the star walked through Baek Gi-tae’s look―bespoke suits, a dramatic 80/20 side part, surveillance headphones and a shoulder holster―saying, “Even when the character isn’t speaking, what the camera sees matters.”
“The KCIA was the most powerful institution of the 1970s,” he said. “I wanted Gi-tae to project real intimidation, so I bulked up―off the 'Harbin' shoot, I put on around 13 kilograms. To reflect his meticulous nature, I kept everything immaculate: a clean, pomaded part and suits that fit like armor. If you look closely, his dress shirts are tailored to make the neckline stand out, and his tie is slimmer than everyone else’s. Every element was calculated.”
When someone suggested the now-buzzy 80/20 part works only because it’s Hyun Bin, he laughed: “I don’t know if it’s the show, but I hear guys are heading to the barbershop a lot lately.”
Set in a South Korea caught between turmoil and takeoff in the 1970s, "Made in Korea" follows Baek Gi-tae (Hyun Bin), a man determined to turn the state into his business model and climb to the pinnacle of wealth and power, and prosecutor Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung), who hunts him down with unrelenting resolve. Season 1 recently wrapped, and Season 2 is now in production.
