Actress Park Boyoung talked about her chemistry with Kim Sungcheol.
On the 27th, a press conference for the Disney+ original 'Gold Land' was held at Conrad Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul. Park Boyoung, Kim Sungcheol, Lee Hyunwook, Kim Heewon, Moon Junghee, Lee Kwangsoo, and director Kim Sunghoon attended the event.
'Gold Land' is a survival thriller about Heejoo (played by Park Boyoung), who comes into possession of 150 billion KRW worth of smuggled gold bars and fights to claim them amidst a chaotic mess of greed and betrayal.
The characters who face the 150 billion KRW gold bars reveal their raw desires, and their intense phsychological battles are raising expectations.
Park Boyoung explained, "Since my character is someone who didn't grow up happily, the director wanted me to lose some weight. There are many scenes where I'm running away with the gold, so he wanted my face to look thinner. So I lost some weight accordingly." She continued, "He also asked me to wear almost no makeup. At first, I wondered, 'Shouldn't I wear at least a little?' but eventually, I almost completely wore no makeup," revealing that she filmed with a nearly bare face.
Speaking about her chemistry with Kim Sungcheol, she said, "He would sing 'Like Jennie' but replaces 'Jennie' with 'Noona, noona.' It made me think, 'If I had a younger brother, he would be just like him,'" raising anticipation for their sibling chemistry in the drama.
'Gold Land' will premiere on the 29th with its first two episodes, followed by two new episodes every week, for a total of 10 episodes.
