Actor Kim Sung-cheol has taken on the new role of the 'national younger brother'.

In the Disney+ original series 'Gold Land', which began airing on the 29th of last month, Kim Sung-cheol plays Woo-ki, a low-ranking member of a loan shark organization who is the first to notice that Hee-ju (played by Park Bo-young) possesses a gold bar.

Woo-ki appears light-hearted and mischievous, yet his quick wit, eloquent speech, and bold actions keep the tension from ever easing.

Kim Sung-cheol portrayed the youthful Woo-ki by consistently calling out 'noona' in a voice a tone higher than his natural one, and by appropriately using profanity, abbreviations, and neologisms to lighten the heavy tone of the drama. He also matched a bright hairstyle with flashy-patterned training clothes and a bold gold necklace, revealing the character's love for showing off.

Furthermore, Kim Sung-cheol naturally depicted Woo-ki approaching the older sister Hee-ju in a friendly and carefree manner, while also conveying Woo-ki's sharp transformation into a cold and decisive figure who acts without hesitation in urgent situations where the gold bar or his identity could be exposed, thereby heightening viewer immersion. In particular, Woo-ki's ability to become a gentle sheep at Hee-ju's single word, or a wild wolf, raises curiosity about how the relationship between the two will unfold.

The Disney+ original series 'Gold Land', starring Kim Sung-cheol, is a survival thriller in which Kim Hee-ju, who has obtained 150 billion won worth of gold bars from a smuggling organization, fights to monopolize the gold amidst a chaotic world of greed and betrayal. Two episodes are released every Wednesday, totaling 10 episodes.
