Overview
- Episodes 1 and 2 of Made in Korea season 2 were released Wednesday on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ in international markets, with two‑episode drops scheduled each Wednesday through September 23.
- The season stars Hyun Bin as Baek Ki‑tae, Jung Woo‑sung as Jang Geon‑young, and Woo Do‑hwan as Baek Ki‑hyun, and returns director Woo Min‑ho with writers Park Eun‑gyo and Park Joon‑seok.
- Story action is set nine years after season 1 and opens around October 26, 1979, using the assassination of President Park Chung‑hee as a historical touchstone for a fictional KCIA power scramble.
- Promotional materials and early coverage emphasize a dark political‑noir tone, violent imagery and a key interrogation‑room confrontation between the two brothers to highlight personal stakes inside institutional conflict.
- The six‑episode, event‑style rollout reflects a streaming strategy to build global buzz quickly and the season’s historical framing is explicitly fictionalized even as it draws on real 1979 turmoil and the later military coup.
