'Made in Korea' Trailer Reveals Hyun Bin and Jung Woo Sung's Epic Battle

Two legends meet in a tense trailer of 'Made in Korea'.
Their war over a single word begins.
The series starts streaming in late December.

Get ready for a cinematic clash of titans. Disney+ has just dropped a gripping new teaser for its upcoming original series, "Made in Korea," and it's setting the stage for one of the most highly anticipated dramas of the year. The project is monumental, not just for its politically charged plot set in the turbulent 1970s, but for its powerhouse casting, it brings together two of South Korea's most revered actors, Hyun Bin and Jung Woo Sung, on screen for the very first time. 

The teaser wastes no time in establishing the central conflict. We see Hyun Bin's character, Baek Ki Tae, an agent for the KCIA (Korean Central Intelligence Agency), in a solemn moment, saluting the national flag with an intense, unreadable expression. The mood is immediately undercut when prosecutor Jang Geon Young, played with steely resolve by Jung Woo Sung, pointedly asks him, "What led you to the KCIA?" 

Ki Tae's answer is swift and firm, dripping with a conviction that may or may not be genuine, "I joined to serve my country."

As the trailer unfolds, the lines between duty and personal ambition become dangerously blurred. Baek Ki Tae’s actions grow increasingly shadowy, suggesting a man operating with a hidden agenda. 

In a moment that sends chills down your spine, he declares, "This too is national duty, this too is patriotism," a statement that raises unsettling questions about how far he's willing to go. 

On the other side of the law, Jung Woo Sung's Jang Geon Young is a force of relentless determination. He is hot on the trail of a formidable criminal organization, refusing to back down even when faced with pressure from his own superiors. 

His mission becomes personal, crystallizing in a firm vow, "Baek Ki Tae... I’ll catch him no matter what." 

The tension escalates further with a face-to-face confrontation where Jang Geon Young issues a stark warning to his rival, "If you want to go up against me, be prepared." 

The teaser's defining moment comes when Baek Ki Tae, seemingly baffled by the prosecutor's unwavering pursuit, demands, "What game are you playing?" Jang Geon Young's simple, powerful one-word retort, "Patriotism," perfectly encapsulates the core of their conflict, two men invoking the same ideal for entirely different purposes, headed for an explosive collision.

A Story of Ambition and Ideals of 'Made in Korea'

So, what is "Made in Korea" really about? At its heart, it's a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game set against the volatile political landscape of 1970s South Korea. Hyun Bin takes on the role of Baek Ki Tae, a complex and ambitious man consumed by a thirst for wealth and absolute power. He's not a simple villain, he's a KCIA agent by day who leads a dangerous double life, described as intelligent and authoritative, yet also cunning and shrewd. 

His opponent is Jung Woo Sung's Jang Geon Young, a prosecutor with what is described as an "animalistic instinct and fearsome tenacity." He is the moral counterweight, a man willing to sacrifice everything, his career, his safety, to stop Ki Tae and the shadowy network he represents. The series promises to delve deep into a "historic national upheaval," suggesting that their personal battle will have ramifications for the entire nation. 

The cast is further strengthened by stellar supporting actors like Jung Sung Il, Roh Jae Won, and Park Yong Woo, whose brief appearances in the teaser hint at secret alliances and a complex web of power dynamics that will surround our two main leads.

The release of the trailer has sent fans into a frenzy, flooding social media and online forums with excited and positive comments. Viewers are ecstatic to see Hyun Bin return in such a charismatic and morally grey character. The sheer star power of seeing him share the frame with the legendary Jung Woo Sung is a dream come true for Korean drama and film enthusiasts. 

"We can’t wait to see Baek Ki Tae in action in 'Made in Korea”' Excited to watch our Best Actor’s , Hyun Bin, new series on Christmas Eve 2025!"

"Villian Hyun Bin is really gonna wreck my world again."

Mark your calendars because the showdown is set to begin soon. "Made in Korea" will premiere with two episodes exclusively on Disney+ on December 24, 2025, followed by two more episodes on December 31. The remaining episodes of the six-part series will then be released sequentially, making for a thrilling end-of-year binge.
