Nine years can change a man completely — or make him even more dangerous. “Made in Korea 2” has finally dropped its main poster and trailer, and Hyun Bin’s Baek Ki Tae looks like he’s traded ambition for something far more ruthless: absolute power.
Where We Left Off, and Where It’s Going
Season 1 set the stage in a turbulent 1970s Korea, pitting Baek Ki Tae’s hunger for wealth and power against prosecutor Jang Geon Young (Jung Woo Sung), a man who sacrificed everything to stop him. Season 2 picks up nine years later, with Baek Ki Tae now at the peak of his power, Jang Geon Young quietly plotting his counterattack, and Baek Ki Hyun (Woo Do Hwan) carving out his own dangerous path that pulls him between the two forces.

What the Trailer Reveals in Made in Korea 2?
The new footage centers on real historical tension — October 26, 1979, the day a power vacuum let Baek Ki Tae seize the role of acting KCIA director, clashing head-on with military forces led by Hwang Dae Sik (Heo Jung Do). The trailer’s most chilling exchange comes when Baek Ki Tae asks an ally, “Would you like to cross the Han River bridge with me?” — a proposal met with total loyalty. Meanwhile, Jang Geon Young’s quiet warning, “You think this will last forever, don’t you?” makes clear the counterattack is already in motion.
The tagline “A single moment’s choice can change history” sets the tone for a season built on consequences, not just conflict.
