Disney+ has unveiled a new poster for its upcoming original series “Made in Korea”, and global fans can’t stop talking about Hyun Bin’s intense transformation. The actor takes center stage in a gripping 1970s crime-thriller that pits ambition against justice — and promises one of his most powerful roles to date.
The poster, titled “In the Name of the Father,” teases a dramatic showdown between Hyun Bin and co-star Jung Woo-sung, but it’s Hyun Bin’s commanding presence that immediately captures attention.
Hyun Bin as Baek Gi-tae: A Desperate Man Chasing Power
Set in South Korea’s turbulent 1970s — a decade of rapid development, political tension, and shadowy power struggles — “Made in Korea” follows Baek Gi-tae (Hyun Bin), a man who sees the nation itself as a business venture.
Though he works inside the intelligence agency, Baek Gi-tae is willing to bend every rule and cross every line to climb to the top.
The newly released poster highlights:
- Hyun Bin’s sharp, burning gaze
- The dark shadow across his face, hinting at moral conflict
- A chilling charisma that fans love him for
His look alone tells a story: this is a man driven by ambition so fierce it borders on dangerous.
A Deadly Pursuit with Jung Woo-sung
Facing him is Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung), a relentless prosecutor who refuses to back down.
The poster shows the two men locked in a silent but explosive confrontation — a clash that feels destined from the moment their paths cross.
The tagline “Everyone has staked their fate” hints that the stakes go far beyond personal rivalry, tying the characters to a web of political secrets, desire, and betrayal.
But for many international fans, the spotlight remains firmly on Hyun Bin, whose return to a dark, intense role is generating massive excitement.
