On April 27, a production press conference for the drama Gold Land was held at Conrad Seoul in Yeouido. The event was attended by cast members including Park Bo Young, Kim Sung Cheol, Lee Hyun Wook, Kim Hee Won, Moon Jung Hee, Lee Kwang Soo, and director Kim Sung Hoon.
Playing antagonist “Director Park” in the series, Lee Kwang Soo explained that his character’s backstory wasn’t fully detailed in the script. Because of that, he personally suggested adding distinctive elements such as facial scars and a gold tooth gem to enrich the role.
He then jokingly expressed his “frustration,” saying that once people began showing interest in the gold tooth detail, director Kim Sung Hoon started claiming it as his own idea. Lee Kwang Soo emphasized that he was the first to propose it and even revealed that he paid for the tooth gem out of his own pocket. He added with a laugh that he would be willing to release their text messages as proof if given the chance.
Gold Land is a survival thriller centered on greed and betrayal, following a protagonist who comes into possession of gold bars worth 150 billion won from a smuggling ring and fights to keep it amid chaos.
The series stars Park Bo Young, Kim Sung Cheol, Lee Hyun Wook, Kim Hee Won, Moon Jung Hee, and Lee Kwang Soo. The script is written by Hwang Jo Yoon, known for Twelve Men in a Year and Rich Man, while Kim Sung Hoon directs the project.
Gold Land is set to premiere on April 29, releasing its first two episodes, with two episodes dropping weekly for a total of 10 episodes.
