Disney+ announced on the 22nd, “‘Made in Korea’ has confirmed the release of Season 2 this coming September and has unveiled a teaser poster and a pre-teaser trailer.” “Made in Korea Season 2” is a noir drama depicting the precarious journey of “Baek Ki-tae,” who, nine years later, is careening toward even greater ambitions. It is garnering significant viewer interest, having been named one of *Time* magazine’s “Most Anticipated Korean Dramas of 2026.” The newly released teaser poster features “Baek Ki-tae” (Hyun Bin). Set against the backdrop of his office, the image of “Baek Ki-tae” sitting comfortably captures his inner state—one that appears to have achieved everything by the end of Season 1, yet seems somehow hollow. In particular, the nameplate clearly displaying his title, “Director Baek Ki-tae,” along with the caption, “Remember this. We’re being patriotic—patriotic” further fuel curiosity about Baek Ki-tae’s path, as he is set to charge even more relentlessly toward his desires under the banner of patriotism, continuing from Season 1.

The pre-teaser trailer, released alongside the image, depicts Baek Ki-tae’s even more intense ambition, the cracks forming around him, and the emergence of a new power, foreshadowing an unpredictable narrative. The bold image of “Baek Ki-tae,” seated at the desk in the presidential office with a piercing gaze as he delivers the line, “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time,” creates an intense sense of immersion right from the start. This is followed by suspenseful scenes accompanied by the meaningful line, “Sometimes, a single choice can change the course of history,” signaling the prelude to a massive event that will shake South Korea to its core. This is interwoven with breathtaking action sequences that heighten the tension. In particular, the tense standoff between “Baek Ki-tae” and “Baek Ki-hyun” (played by Woo Do-hwan) sparks curiosity about how their relationship will evolve, while the emergence of military factions opposing “Baek Ki-tae’s” Central Intelligence Agency sets the stage for a new power struggle. The scene where “Jang Geon-young” (Jung Woo-sung)—who was defeated by “Baek Ki-tae” in Season 1—reappears, and “Baek Ki-tae” is unable to hide his shock upon seeing him, foreshadows the unpredictable bloodbath that will engulf them in the future. Season 1 of “Made in Korea,” released last year, gained popularity both domestically and internationally with its story of a man driven by ambition for wealth and power and a prosecutor who sacrifices everything to stop him, all set against the backdrop of a turbulent era. Season 2 will be released in September.
