Lee Kwang-soo is diving into gold, greed, and betrayal—literally. The beloved actor has officially joined the cast of the highly anticipated Disney+ original series Goldland, where he’ll take on the enigmatic role of Director Park.
On June 10, his agency King Kong by Starship confirmed the casting, stating:
“Lee Kwang-soo will appear in Goldland as Director Park. Please look forward to his dynamic transformation in this intense new series.”
Set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ in 2026, Goldland is shaping up to be a gripping drama packed with suspense and moral chaos. The story centers around Hee-joo (played by Park Bo-young), an ordinary woman who accidentally stumbles upon gold bars smuggled by a criminal organization. What follows is a deadly spiral of greed, deception, and survival, as multiple players race to claim the hidden treasure.
Lee Kwang-soo’s character, Director Park, oversees “Geumseong”—a shady faction tied to the hotel casino at the heart of Goldland. As tensions rise, Park is expected to play a key role in the unfolding chaos, delivering twists that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
This role marks yet another dramatic transformation for Lee Kwang-soo, who continues to surprise fans with his growing versatility. From the cold-blooded Yoon Chang-jae in No Way Out: The Roulette to the quietly desperate An Kyung-nam in Netflix’s Affairs, Kwang-soo has proven he’s far more than a comedic actor—he’s a scene-stealer capable of profound emotional depth.
With Goldland, Lee is poised to extend his hot streak. The series also stars an impressive lineup including Park Bo-young, Kim Sung-chul, Lee Hyun-wook, Kim Hee-won, and Moon Jung-hee—setting the stage for a global hit.
As Goldland gears up for release, fans are already buzzing about what Lee Kwang-soo’s latest transformation will bring. One thing’s for sure: when gold is on the line, no one plays it safe.
