The Disney+ (Disney Plus) series ‘Made in Korea’ will expand its universe with a third season.
According to NEWS1 and StarNews, Director Woo Min-ho directly expressed his intention to produce Season 3 during the outdoor stage greeting for ‘Made in Korea’ Season 2 at the 31st Busan International Film Festival, held on the 7th at the outdoor stage of the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae-gu, Busan.
On that day, Director Woo said regarding Season 2, “We tried to make it on a larger scale. We shot very intensely with the actors and staff.” He added, “After finishing all the filming, I felt a slight sense of regret. So I am continuously looking toward Season 3.”
He also revealed specific hints about Season 3. Director Woo stated, “Season 3 is set in the early 1990s,” and continued, “I cannot yet tell you specifically what events will be dealt with, but it seems we will be able to further expand and show the relationships of the characters carried over from Seasons 1 and 2, as well as the changes of the era.”
Hyun Bin also showed special affection for the work. He said, “We started principal photography in July 2024 and finished filming in March this year,” adding, “The time spent researching and acting as the charismatic character Baek Gi-tae over three years was truly like a dream. I still have not completely forgotten Baek Gi-tae.”
Jung Woo-sung mentioned the changes experienced by Jang Geon-yeong in Season 2, explaining, “It contains a story about how individual freedom and thoughts are sacrificed within nationalism,” and added, “I tried to portray how the values that Jang Geon-yeong had upheld wavered and collapsed within the character.”
‘Made in Korea’ Season 2 was released on Disney+ up to Episode 6, its final episode, on the 23rd of last month. Attention is focused on how Season 3 will unfold the relationships of existing characters and the changes of the era, set in the early 1990s.
