Hyun Bin is back as Baek Ki-tae in the second season of Made in Korea.At a press conference for the Disney+ K-drama yesterday (Sept 2), the actor shared how he felt about returning to the role after the first season won him the grand prize at the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards last year.”It would be a lie for me to say I didn’t feel any pressure but I’m very glad that so many people loved the first season. I do expect our viewers who loved season one to come back and watch season two,” he said.In season one, Ki-tae was an ambitious Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) chief living a double life. He worked as a government agent by day while running a highly illegal smuggling operation by night.The new season picks up nine years after the events of the first and is set against the political backdrop leading up to the Dec 12 military coup of 1979.Focusing on the power vacuum following the assassination of the president, it follows Ki-tae at the height of his power as second-in-command at the agency while scorned prosecutor Jang Geon-young (played by Jung Woo-sung) once again prepares to take him down.
