Actress Park Bo-young spoke about the reason she chose her first crime genre drama, temporarily setting aside her lovely charm.

On the 27th, a production announcement for Disney+'s "Gold Land" was held at the Conrad Seoul in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Actors Park Bo-young, Kim Sung-cheol, Lee Hyun-wook, Kim Hee-won, Moon Jung-hee, and Lee Gwang-soo, along with director Kim Sung-hoon, attended the event.

"Gold Land" is a golden desire survival thriller in which Hee-ju (played by Park Bo-young), who has obtained 150 billion won worth of gold bars from a smuggling organization, fights to monopolize the gold amidst a chaotic world entangled with greed and betrayal.

Through this work, Park Bo-young chooses a crime genre drama for the first time since her debut, revealing hidden desires. The character Hee-ju she portrays is someone who, after obtaining gold worth 150 billion won from a smuggling organization, moves according to her desires to keep the gold.

Park Bo-young stated, "This is my first crime genre drama. I wanted to take on a challenge in terms of genre. When I met with director Kim Sung-hoon, he told me that when many people see me, they think I have an image of someone who would just return the money. He said that if someone who looks like that doesn't return it, viewers might see it differently. I was most drawn to that point and chose it."

Park Bo-young shared, "At first, the director said he wished I would lose weight. The character Hee-ju herself was not someone who grew up very happily, and since there were many scenes of her running away with gold, he said he wished my face looked thinner. So I lost weight throughout the filming. He also said he wished I wouldn't wear makeup. At first, I thought, 'Shouldn't I at least do a little?' so I did a bit, but later I almost removed it all."

Meanwhile, "Gold Land" will release its second episode on April 29, after which 10 episodes will be released weekly, two at a time.
