Hyun Bin crime thriller ‘Made in Korea’ makes Disney+ debut
Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung go head-to-head in “Made in Korea,” a 1970s crime noir that launches on Disney+ on December 24 with a two-episode premiere.
The series stars Hyun Bin (“Crash Landing on You,” “Confidential Assignment”) as Baek Kitae, an ambitious KCIA agent in 1970s South Korea who leads a dangerous double life. By day he works as a government agent, while by night he runs an illegal operation, using his underworld connections to consolidate power, protect his brother, and generate significant revenue for the agency.
Jung Woo-sung (“Tell Me That You Love Me,” “12.12: The Day”) stars as Jang Geonyoung, an incorruptible prosecutor determined to bring down Kitae. Woo Dohwan (“Bloodhounds,” “Mr. Plankton”) plays Kitae’s brother Baek Kihyun.
The series is written by Park Eunkyo (“Mother,” “A Normal Family,” “The Silent Sea”) and Park Joonseok (“A Normal Family”), directed by Woo Minho (“The Man Standing Next,” “Inside Men,” “Harbin”), and produced by Hive Media Corp (“Inside Men,” “The Man Standing Next,” “12.12: The Day”).
Following the two-episode premiere, “Made in Korea” will release two additional episodes on December 31, with the final two episodes releasing weekly through January 14. The series has already been renewed for a second season, which is currently in production.
The thriller joins Disney+’s growing lineup of Korean drama content launched in 2025, including “Unmasked,” “Nine Puzzles,” “Hyper Knife,” “Low Life,” “The Murky Stream” and “Tempest.”
The streamer has more Korean series planned for 2026, including ‘Gold Land’ starring Park Boyoung, ‘Perfect Crown’ starring IU and Byeon Wooseok, and the return of ‘A Shop for Killers’ for a second season with Lee Dongwook and Kim Hyejun.
