Actor Lee Kwangsoo revealed that he actually got a real gold tooth for his role in a project.
On the broadcast of SBS PowerFM's 'Cultwo Show' on the 29th, Park Boyoung appeared as a special DJ while Lee Kwangsoo and Director Kim Sunghoon, who worked together on the Disney+ 'Gold Land' joined as guests.
On this broadcast, Park Boyoung said, "Because the makeup process would take a long time, Kwangsoo Oppa actually got a real gold tooth. The director even told him not to show it anywhere. So when he received an award in the middle of filming, he covered his mouth during the acceptance speech so it wouldn't be seen."
She continued, "One day, during promotions, the director seemed like he was running out of things to say, so he asked Kwangsoo Oppa to show his tooth. He basically spoiled the show himself," adding, "That was the first time the gold tooth was revealed. Thanks to that, a lot of people became curious and started wondering what kind of project it was."
When host Kim Taegyun asked, "So you paid for it yourself? It wasn't covered by the production budget?" Lee Kwangsoo laughed and replied, "I didn't specifically say I'd pay for it myself. They told me to get it, so I did. I still haven't been reimbursed yet. I'm still chasing down the money for that missing gold tooth."
Additionally, when Kim Taegyun asked, "Would you be paid based on the price at the time or the current price?" Lee Kwangsoo joked, "I think I should be paid at today's rate."
In response, Director Kim Sunghoon said, "It'll be settled soon," to which Lee Kwangsoo replied, "You've been settling it for over a year," drawing laughter.
Meanwhile, 'Gold Land' is a survival thriller about Heejoo (played by Park Boyoung) who gets her hands on 150 billion KRW worth of smuggled golds and fights to claim it all amid a chaotic world of greed and betrayal. The show will begin releasing the first two episodes on the 29th, with two new episodes dropping each week.
