When a game-changing bioenhancer is stolen during a secret handover between Korean and US intelligence agencies, both governments will race to recover it in The Tyrant – an unmissable new Korean drama coming later this year exclusively to Disney+.

After years of toiling away on a secret project designed to drastically enhance human abilities, the Korean government’s plan is exposed by U.S. intelligence agencies. Furious about being kept in the dark, the U.S. demands all samples be handed over and the project be immediately shutdown. But when the covert handover is attacked by an unknown party, agents from both sides will have to work together to avoid the dangerous new formula falling into the wrong hands.

Starring Jo Yoonsu (True Beauty, Juvenile Justice) as skilled infiltrator Chae Jagyeong; Cha Seoungwon (Our Blues, A Korean Odyssey) as cold-blooded mercenary Lim Sang; Kim Seonho (Start-Up, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha) as Director Choe, the leader of the secret Korean project; and Kim Kangwoo (Le Grand Chef, Goodbye Mr. Black) as U.S. intelligence agent Paul, The Tyrant is written and directed by Park Hoonjung (New World, The Witch: Part 1 & 2).
