Shocking success: Disney+ Korean original series Made in Korea has surged to the top across the Asia-Pacific region, igniting global buzz.
According to Disney+ official metrics, Made in Korea was the most-watched Korean original content in the Asia-Pacific region in 2025. The series set a new record over last year and drew an explosive response that spread far beyond Korea.
Notably, it outperformed other highly anticipated titles like Trigger, Hyperknife, Pine: Chontteugideul.
Set amid the turmoil and rapid rise of 1970s South Korea, the story follows Baek Gi-tae (played by Hyun Bin), a corporate fixer who aims to turn the nation itself into a profit model, and prosecutor Jang Geon-yeong (played by Jung Woo-sung), who relentlessly tracks him. As both men race toward their own desires, their clash supercharges the show's tension.
Hyun Bin delivers a powerful performance as Baek Gi-tae, a National Intelligence Service section chief leading a double life, while Jung Woo-sung plays prosecutor Jang Geon-yeong, doggedly pursuing Baek's every move.
Meanwhile, Made in Korea continues to win over viewers worldwide. Season 1 episodes 1–6 are now streaming on Disney+, and the show has maintained steady popularity since its December 24 premiere last year. Season 2 is currently filming and slated to drop in the second half of this year.
