After another year of exceptional storytelling that saw the release of over a dozen hit APAC series including Hyper Knife, Tempest, The Manipulated, Nine Puzzles, Gannibal Season 2, and more, Disney+ confirmed this week that Made In Korea has officially become the number one most viewed Korean Original premiere of 2025 on Disney+ in APAC*.
First released on Disney+ on December 24, Made In Korea Season 1 follows Baek Kitae, an ambitious KCIA agent who’s living a double life. Driven by his thirst for power, Kitae works as a government agent by day while running a highly illegal operation by night. Smart, suave, cunning and capable, Kitae rapidly moves up the ranks after using his smuggling operation to consolidate power, protect his brother, and generate vast sums of money for the agency. Seemingly unstoppable, only one thing stands in his way – a tenacious prosecutor who can’t be bought, bribed or reasoned with. With everything at stake for both men, the series follows the duo as they battle to take each other down.
Starring Hyun Bin (Crash Landing On You, Confidential Assignment) as agent Baek Kitae, Jung Woosung (12.12: The Day, Hunt) as tenacious prosecutor Jang Geonyoung, and Woo Dohwan (Bloodhounds, Mr. Plankton) as Kitae’s brother Baek Kihyun, Made in Korea is written by Park Eunkyo (Sea of Tranquility, Mother) and Park Joonseok (A Normal Family), directed by Woo Minho (The Man Standing Next, Inside Men), and produced by Hive Media Corp (Inside Men, The Man Standing Next, 12.12: The Day).
First confirmed during last year’s Disney+ Originals Preview at Hong Kong Disneyland, Season 2 of this unmissable series has already begun production, with a first look at what audiences can expect revealed in the 2026 slate preview announcement.
