From Park Bo-young to Lee Kwang-soo. Actors brimming with desire are gathering.

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

'Gold Land' is a golden desire survival thriller in which 'Hee-ju' (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 battlefield of greed and betrayal.

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

Park Bo-young stated, "It is my first crime genre work. I wanted to take on a challenge in terms of genre." She added, "When I met with director Kim Sung-hoon, he told me that when many people see me, they think I would just return the money. He said that if someone who looks like that doesn't return it, viewers might see me differently, and I was most drawn to that point, so I 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 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, so at first I thought, 'Shouldn't I at least do a little?' and did a bit, but later I removed almost all of it."

Director Kim Sung-hoon expressed his affection, saying, "Not only is it impressive that Bo-young took on her first crime genre work, but she also expressed small changes so delicately and in detail."

Kim Sung-cheol plays 'Woo-gi', a low-ranking member of a loan shark organization who is the first to notice that Hee-ju has the gold bars. Kim Sung-cheol said, "At the filming site, I kept calling actress Park Bo-young 'noona' nonstop. I kept saying 'noona, noona, noona'."

In response, Park Bo-young laughed, saying, "I think I heard the word 'noona' the most from Mr. Kim Sung-cheol in my life. I changed the song 'Jennie, Jennie' by Jennie to 'Noona, Noona' and kept singing it." She added, "I wondered if I had a younger sibling like this."

Lee Kwang-soo has already drawn attention for his visual appearance with a tooth embedded with gold in 'Gold Land'. Lee Kwang-soo revealed, "The script did not include the past of Mr. Park, the character I play, so I wanted to show Mr. Park's rough life through facial scars. I also came up with the idea of showing the obsession with gold through accessories or gold teeth." He continued, "However, since people showed interest in the gold teeth, the director said that idea was 'mine.' I remember clearly that I thought of it first."

In response, director Kim Sung-hoon claimed his share, saying, "It can be said that Mr. Kwang-soo did it. But since it might have come from somewhere else, to be precise, it is true that Mr. Lee Kwang-soo first said, 'How about gold teeth?' Then I said, 'Ordinary gold teeth are cliché, so let's add a frame,' but he didn't understand what I meant, so I explained it." Lee Kwang-soo then joked, "I will release the text message history. The share is about 8:2."

The actors showed confidence ahead of revealing new faces full of desire. It remains to be seen whether their desires will be vividly conveyed to viewers beyond the TV screen.

Meanwhile, 'Gold Land' will release its second episode on April 29, followed by 10 episodes released two at a time each week.
