A quick recap of Made in Korea episodes 3-4

Made in Korea episode 3 introduced viewers to a new character, Bae Geum-ji, who is an escort. Geum-ji has a son, but the father's identity is still unknown. Geum-ji, on the other hand, can also see that Gi-tae is after power and has details on the Yakuza. Geum-ji also threatens Gi-tae. However, Gi-tae doesn't care much about the threats and, at one point, fires a gun at her.

However, the episode doesn't show whether she died, leaving it unclear if she was actually killed or if Gi-tae chose to make a deal with her instead.

On the other side, Geon-yeong is seen questioning Hwang on the murder of Manjae. Hwang has made a deal with Gi-tae for three hundred million won every month for letting him do the meth business, and he didn't tell anything to Geon-yeong.

Made in Korea episode 4 also reveals about Geon-yeong's past, showing that his father was an addict, and in the present day, he is in a hospital seeking treatment. He also killed his wife, leaving Geon-yeong with his sister to look after.

Geon-yeong decides to catch Gi-tae by going to Osaka and also follows Hwang. Hwang strikes a deal with Haksoo to kill Gi-tae. Just as he goes to take the money from the temple that Gi-tae promised, Gi-tae kills Hwang and sets fire to the temple to eliminate any proof. As of now, it doesn't seem like Geon-yeong knows that Gi-tae killed Hwang.

In the Made in Korea Episode 5, viewers might get to see Geon-yeong getting more details on Hwang's death and Gi-tae because of his connection with Daeil. On the other side, whether Geum-ji is actually dead or not will also come to light.
