Director Woo Min-ho explained the unique laughter in the work by delivering a commentary on actor Jung Woo-sung who was with him in "Made in Korea."

Disney+ "Made in Korea" is a story about "Baek Ki-tae" (played by Hyun Bin), a man who tries to reach the peak of wealth and power using South Korea and the country, where confusion and leap coexisted in the 1970s, and "Jang Geon-young" (played by Jung Woo-sung), a prosecutor who traces him to the edge of the cliff with a scary tenacity, facing huge events throughout the times.

Director Woo Min-ho said of the character Jang Geon-young, a prosecutor at the Busan District Prosecutors' Office, "He is a single-minded prosecutor who has failed to be promoted within the organization because of his character and does not listen well to others," adding, "In the fourth episode, his warrior will be revealed, and it will show the source of his tenacity to the end of the drug investigation." He explained, "I have a lot of anger and anger toward the world, but at the same time, I am a person with warmth." Director Woo said, "Jang Geon-young is a person with pacesos. He is a character who has a certain tragedy that is deeply entrenched and has inner troubles. I thought that could sometimes be revealed as a grotesque smile," he said, pointing to the complex aspects of the character. In line with this setting, he explained that he intentionally tried to revive the rhythm of the work by boldly expressing the unique laughter of "Jang Geon-young" and the revolution that takes place during the investigation process of chasing "Baek Gi-tae."

While Jung Woo-sung's unique laughter as Jang Gun-young in the play conveyed the question, director Woo Min-ho himself explained the character's characteristics and the meaning of laughter.

Director Woo said, "I saw Jang Gun-young's hot appearance on actor Jung Woo-sung's face. "We made it together by talking freely on the spot without being bound by the script," he said. In response, Hyun Bin also said, "I had a lot of ideas on the field, and I worked happily because I could directly encounter different expressions," adding to expectations for synergy in acting between the two actors, who will show deeper chemistry in the future.

Finally, director Woo Min-ho said about the contrast point between the two characters, "If 'Jang Geon-young' is a hot, humane, and simple character, 'Baek Gi-tae' gave a difference with his knife-like appearance, which should not wrinkle even a single wrinkle in his pants," adding, "We intended to make a contrast like water and fire," drawing attention to the confrontation and dense suspense between the two characters that will explode in the 5-6th inning.

Meanwhile, 'Made in Korea' is drawing enthusiastic reviews right after its release. The 1-4 episodes of "Made in Korea" are only available on Disney+, with one episode released on January 7 and one episode released on January 14, a total of six episodes.
