'Made in Korea' Park Yong-woo, Noh Jae-won, Jung Sung-il Reveal Character Behind-the-Scenes

The actors of 〈Made in Korea〉 shared behind-the-scenes stories.

The Disney+ original series 〈Made in Korea〉 tells the story of Baek Gi-tae (Hyun Bin), an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency who gets involved in the 'meth' business to gain power, and prosecutor Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung), who tries to bring him to justice. The actors sharing behind-the-scenes stories this time are Park Yong-woo, who plays Hwang Guk-pyeong, Noh Jae-won, who plays agent Pyo Hak-soo, and Jung Sung-il, who plays the head of the presidential security service, Cheon Seok-jung.

Park Yong-woo, who plays 'Hwang Guk-pyeong', revealed that the wig was a crucial element that enhanced the character's external concept. He said, "The director first suggested that I try wearing a wig, and the moment I heard that, I felt that various pathos could mix into the character, such as emotional stories, the character's own fragility, victim mentality, and points of humor. So I was very happy and said I wanted to do it." Noh Jae-won, who worked alongside him, explained about his role as Pyo Hak-soo, saying, "Most of the characters in the work focus on desire and have many parts that are hard to understand, so rather than that, I prepared with the attitude of 'I am more important than you, smarter, stronger, and I will win no matter what.'"

Jung Sung-il explained about his character, saying, "How he got to that position is not fully revealed, but he has a vigilance and greed to not let that position be taken away by anyone. However, he never expresses that. I wanted to express the aura, composure, and strength as a symbolic figure representing power." He also stated, "I wanted to reveal this through the attitude and tone of voice when dealing with other characters. I thought about how to treat those below him to a certain extent. I tried to maintain an energy that could create tension without giving complete trust."

With only the last episode of Season 1 remaining, 〈Made in Korea〉 will release episode 6 on January 14.
