CEO Kim Won-guk expressed high confidence in the new Disney+ series 'Made in Korea.'
On the morning of the 23rd, the 'Disney+ Open House' event took place on the 7th floor of the Gangnam Finance Center located in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul, which is the headquarters of Walt Disney Company Korea. In attendance were Choi Yeon-woo, head of local content at Walt Disney Company Korea, CEO Kim Won-guk of the new original series 'Made in Korea,' and CEO Yoo Jeong-hoon of 'The Killer's Shopping Mall.'
In 2025, Disney+ plans to capture global subscribers with a solid lineup. Starting with the January release of 'Trigger' starring Kim Hye-soo, they showcased medical thriller 'Hyper Knife' featuring Sul Kyung-gu and Park Eun-bin in the first half of the year, along with the new series 'Nine Puzzles' starring Kim Da-mi and Son Suk-ku. In the second half, titles such as 'Low Life' featuring Ryu Seung-ryong, Yang Se-jong, and Im Soo-jung; 'Polaris' starring Jun Ji-hyun and Gang Dong-won; 'The Murky Stream' with Rowoon and Shin Ye Eun; and 'The Manipulated' featuring Ji Chang-wook and Doh Kyung Soo are expected.
CEO Kim Won-guk displayed immense confidence while producing 'Made in Korea,' starring Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung, with a production budget of 70 billion won.
He noted, "I don't often promote my work. I do it when a strong film comes out, and otherwise I hold back. However, during 'Spring of Seoul,' I did intense PR, saying, 'An amazing movie is coming out.' This time, 'Made in Korea' has poured all of HYBE's production capabilities with Disney's excellent support."
He continued, "I believe a powerful work will come out this time as well. The production team did a really great job, and a very strong drama will be released," adding, "You can really look forward to it. Disney, along with our company, believes 'Made in Korea' will change the landscape of the Korean K-drama industry."
