Disney+ Sets April 29 Premiere for Korean Crime Thriller 'Gold Land'

The release plan signals Disney+'s drive to grow Korean originals as a steady part of its lineup.

Overview

  • The series, which Disney+ dated Thursday, will debut with two episodes on April 29 and then roll out two per week through a May 27 finale for a total of 10.
  • Park Bo-young leads as an airport screening officer who gets pulled into a gold-smuggling scheme and goes on the run with the stash.
  • Hwang Jo-yoon, known for writing Oldboy, makes his streaming-series debut as writer, with Kim Sung-hoon directing.
  • Kim Sung-cheol co-stars as a chaser tied to the criminal ring, with outlets differing on his character’s name as Woogy or Jang Wook, also rendered as Woo Gi.
  • Disney+ framed the launch alongside April’s rom-com Perfect Crown and other Korean projects, with some titles set for Hulu in the U.S., pointing to a broader East Asia push and a tighter weekly cadence.
