The latest trailer for Made in Korea Season 2 has been released, and it places Baek Ki-tae’s calculated climb through the ranks of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency at the center of a mounting political storm. Coming to Disney+ and Hulu, the six-episode continuation sharpens the focus on ambition, betrayal, and the personal cost of absolute power in late-1970s South Korea as long-simmering rivalries finally reach a breaking point.

Made in Korea unfolds in the politically charged atmosphere of 1970s South Korea, where institutional power and underground crime networks frequently overlapped in dangerous ways. The story follows a man who maintains a carefully constructed double life as a KCIA agent while secretly expanding illicit business interests that promise both wealth and influence, all while a relentless prosecutor works tirelessly to expose the corruption supporting him at every level. Season 1 tracked the methodical ascent of Baek Ki-tae (Hyun-bin) as he navigated complex smuggling operations, shifting political alliances, and a high-stakes personal rivalry that left lasting consequences for everyone drawn into his orbit.

Set nine years after the Season 1 finale, the new chapter finds the nation still reeling from unresolved political tensions and institutional fractures. Baek Ki-tae has risen significantly within the KCIA hierarchy and broadened the reach of his operations across the region, yet that same success has attracted a powerful rival determined to challenge his hard-won position. As competing ambitions collide across government and criminal networks, long-buried conflicts resurface with greater intensity and threaten to dismantle the carefully built empire he has spent years constructing.

The newly released trailer centers on Baek Ki-tae’s continued rise inside the KCIA, capturing the pivotal moment he moves to secure greater authority amid national upheaval and shifting power structures. Tense confrontations, fragile shifting loyalties, and direct challenges from both former adversaries and emerging military factions illustrate the growing danger surrounding him, with the conflict framed as a zero-sum struggle that could claim anyone who stands in the way of his ambitions.

Accompanying the trailer is a newly released official poster that positions Baek Ki-tae at the center of a dark, tightly composed ensemble image. Dressed in a long coat and gripping a rifle, he stands against a muted background filled with the faces of key returning characters, while the Korean tagline emphasizes how a single choice can alter the course of history.
