Disney+ enjoyed a triumphant evening at South Korea’s prestigious 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards as stars from its acclaimed Korean originals Made In Korea and Low Life earned two of the night’s biggest acting honors.
Held in Seoul’s glamorous Gangnam District, the annual awards ceremony brought together the country’s brightest talents in film, television, and theater. Recognized as one of Korea’s most celebrated entertainment events, the Baeksang Awards once again highlighted exceptional performances and groundbreaking storytelling.
Hyun Bin Takes Home Best Actor for Made In Korea
Leading the evening’s celebrations for Disney+, Hyun Bin received the award for Best Actor for his commanding role in the gripping crime drama Made In Korea.
The 2025 Disney+ original follows Baek Kitae, a highly ambitious KCIA agent balancing a dangerous double life. While serving the government publicly, Kitae secretly oversees an illegal smuggling operation that helps him gain influence, wealth, and control. Intelligent and ruthless, he steadily rises through the ranks — until a determined prosecutor begins closing in on his carefully built empire.
Driven by intense rivalries, political intrigue, and high-stakes confrontations, Made In Korea quickly became one of the platform’s most talked-about Korean dramas.
Fans can also look forward to even more suspense as Made In Korea Season 2 arrives later this year exclusively on Disney+.
