Hyun Bin Returns to K-Drama With Disney+ Series Made in Korea — Season 2 Already Confirmed

Hyun Bin makes his long-awaited K-drama comeback with Disney+’s Made in Korea. Season 2 is already confirmed before the first airs!

Hyun Bin Officially Back on the Small Screen

Big news for K-drama fans—Hyun Bin is making his long-awaited return to television. Disney+ has officially revealed the first look at the actor in its highly anticipated new series, Made in Korea. Excitement is skyrocketing across the globe, as this marks Hyun Bin’s first drama project in years.

Adding to the buzz, Disney+ has already confirmed Season 2, even before the first season has aired. According to insiders, filming for Season 1 wrapped on September 10, and production on the sequel is already underway. That’s a bold sign of confidence in both the project and Hyun Bin’s enduring star power.

A Powerful Story Set in the 1970s

Made in Korea is set against the politically turbulent backdrop of the 1970s, exploring themes of greed, corruption, and sacrifice.

Hyun Bin plays Bae Qi Tai, a man consumed by ambition and power, while Jung Woo Sung portrays Jang Geon Young, a prosecutor determined to risk everything to bring him down.

The drama blends crime, politics, and personal drama, drawing from historical events that shaped modern Korea. With its gritty and high-stakes narrative, the series promises to be one of the boldest K-dramas of the year.

From the Director of The Drug King

The series is a spin-off of the 2018 film The Drug King, and reunites audiences with director Woo Min Ho. It’s being produced by Hive Mediacorp, the powerhouse studio behind the critically acclaimed box office hit 12.12: The Day.

The supporting cast is equally stellar, featuring:

• Jung Woo Sung (A Moment to Remember)

• Won Yoon

• Seo Yoon Su

• Jo Yeo Jung (Parasite)

• Jung Sung Il (The Glory)

Disney+ Betting Big on K-Dramas

During its Disney+ Open House event in May, the platform spotlighted Made in Korea as one of its flagship titles for the second half of the year.

Hive Mediacorp CEO Kim Wang Uk expressed high confidence, stating:

“With Disney+ support and our production expertise, we’ve created a very powerful drama. Once Made in Korea is released, it will change the landscape for Disney+, our company, and K-dramas as a whole.”

What Fans Can Expect

Hyun Bin’s return to drama has already become one of the most talked-about events in Korean entertainment. With a gripping storyline, a powerhouse cast, and Disney+’s global reach, Made in Korea is set to leave a lasting mark on the industry.

And with Season 2 already confirmed, fans can expect this to be more than just another drama release—it’s shaping up to be a defining moment for both Hyun Bin and the international K-drama wave.

Final Thoughts

From his unforgettable roles in Crash Landing on You and Secret Garden to this new ambitious project, Hyun Bin’s comeback signals an exciting new chapter in his career.

With politics, crime, and history colliding on screen, and Disney+ doubling down with a second season, Made in Korea is poised to become one of the biggest K-drama releases of the year.
