On April 27, the production of the original Disney+ series will be presented Golden Land was held at the Conrad Seoul Hotel 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.
During the event, Lee Kwang Soo shared: “I suggested the idea to the director, but later, when people started paying attention to the gold teeth, he said, ‘It was actually my idea.’” He added, “The director even asked me if I really didn’t remember it and insisted it was his idea, but I clearly remember that I made it up.” He also pointed out that he was never compensated for the gold teeth concept.
In response, director Kim Sung Hoon offered his side of the story, saying: “Honestly, I could just say it was Lee Kwang Soo’s idea, but I want to clarify. He suggested, ‘What if we use gold teeth?’ But I thought that normal gold teeth would be too predictable, so I proposed adding a frame design like a window frame. He didn’t understand well at first, so I even took it out to explain.
Hearing this, Lee Kwang Soo jokingly replied, “If I get the chance, I will reveal our text messages. It’s not something I can just let pass.” adding laughing that the idea was the contribution “about 80-20.”
In the meantime, Golden Land is a survival thriller that follows Hee Joo (played by Park Bo Young), who gets her hands on gold bars worth 150 billion won from a smuggling ring and fights to reclaim them amid greed and betrayal. The series will consist of 10 episodes and will premiere on April 29, releasing two episodes per week.
