Kim plays Jang Wook (also known as Woogy), a member of the criminal organization chasing Heeju. However, Jang Wook and Heeju have an old bond, having lived in the same neighborhood when they were growing up.
Gold Land is directed visionary director Kim Sunghoon, who also helmed Chief Detective 1958 and hit film Confidential Assignment.
Gold Land joins the streamer's upcoming slate of Korean titles, including vampire series Delusion (working title), Low Life and political thriller Tempest.

Only Aaron Rodgers could complain about attention to get attention
Aaron Rodgers is mad. Not actually mad, of course. But acting superior to other people is just part of his brand. He likes dishing out admonishment. So, on Tuesday, having no appreciation for irony, he went on the Pat McAfee show and complained about being in the public eye and all the unwanted attention he gets. Advertisement Rodgers voluntarily goes on TV to complain that he doesn't like attention? That's a good one. The only reason for him to be doing a stint on a talk show, especially McAfee's show, in June is because he craves attention. His big news this week was that this was probably his last season as a player. For a guy who was mistreated by Brett Favre when they were teammates, Rodgers is utilizing his 'How to Turn Retirement Uncertainty into Extra Attention' playbook to perfection. This is the same guy who wanted to host Jeopardy while still playing football. The same guy who milked the spotlight when Robert F. Kennedy leaked Rodgers as a possible vice presidential candidate. Advertisement And the same guy who gave his blessing to NETFLIX to make 'Enigma' a three-part documentary about his life. The only surprising thing is that the Steelers are putting up with this. Signing Rodgers is about the most uncharacteristic move they've made. This is a franchise that had the forethought to get out of the Antonio Brown business and then watched from a safe distance as he poisoned the Raiders, Patriots and Buccaneers. Rodgers is an aging, polarizing distraction who hasn't been good for a while and doesn't seem that committed to playing football anymore. Pittsburgh might be hoping Rodgers will be good again once he's washed all the Jets stink off himself, but he looked washed up in his last season in Green Bay. Advertisement ESPN's Mike Tannenbaum thinks Rodgers is washed up: 'I think Aaron Rodgers is gonna be irrelevant by Thanksgiving.' But his football struggles haven't moved the cameras away from him because he knows how to court them. If he really wanted less attention, he could stop saying every controversial thought out loud. Aaron Rodgers likes the public eye when it makes him money and gives him an audience for his debunked science. He doesn't like people exposing things that aren't true. Sick of the public eye? Start by getting off McAfee. Committing to the bit Whether it's real or legend, Wade Boggs famously claims to have consumed 73 beers on a cross-country flight between Boston and Los Angeles. Advertisement At last week's Fanatics Fest, a ComicCon for sports fans, two fans created a 73-pack of Miller Lite and brought it to the autograph session for Boggs to sign. Did he actually drink 73 beers or did his counting skills diminish somewhere in the 40s? It's amazing some New England Brewery hasn't partnered with Boggs to sell a 73-pack. Perfect for BBQs and flights to Anaheim. Why can't the Bruins make a good bear logo? The Spoked-B is terrific and the classic design is nice in the new Bruins uniforms unveiled on Wednesday. But somehow, in over 100 years of existence, the Bruins can't quite get a good Bear logo. Advertisement The difference between the 1980s Bruins jerseys and the new ones is the bear on the shoulder. Instead of Meth Bear, they'll get this one: It's the latest underwhelming ursine to grace and otherwise good jersey. Meth Bear looks deranged. Pooh Bear looks like a Build-a-Bear's dad. On the yellow shoulder patch (below), the bear is trying to be too detailed and the one on the white jersey barely (no pun intended) looks like a bear. As the old saying goes, bear problems lead to font problems with the new bear. With the off-putting letter-sizing used in the word Boston, the current looks like a bear that has just finished its last meal before hibernation. Would it have been worse with Devers? It's been 10 days since Craig Breslow said this quote about the Devers trade that will haunt him the rest of the year. Advertisement 'I do think there's a real chance we're looking back and we've won more games than we otherwise would have.' The Red Sox are 4-6 since, have lost five straight and are fading in the Wild Card race. There's a real chance Breslow never recovers from this move. Real Jeopardy!

‘Predator: Badlands' Joins Disney's San Diego Comic-Con Plans
The hunt will be on at San Diego Comic-Con, where Predator: Badlands will get the spotlight. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the sci-fi film will get a Hall H panel during the convention weekend. It'll be the second big Disney movie of the fall season to make an appearance at the famed Hall, joining October's Tron: Ares. Both films will fill in for a lack of Marvel at this year's convention, and it'll be the Predator franchise's first theatrical movie to hit SDCC since Shane Black's 2018 reboot. (Prey, which premiered at SDCC 2022, sadly never got a theatrical release.) Like with Tron, Predator: Badlands hasn't had much marketing since its initial trailer and poster. The Hall H panel will hopefully feature a new trailer for the film, which centers on Dak (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young Yautja outcast teaming with the android Thia (Elle Fanning) to get back in his clan's good graces by hunting a worthy enemy. Prey director Dan Trachtenberg is back behind the camera for this one, and unlike Prey and this year's Killers of Killers, you'll be able to see Badlands on the big screen. San Diego Comic-Con runs from July 24-27, and Predator: Badlands hits theaters on November 7. While we wait for more info about it, might as well rewatch Prey or Killer of Killers over on Hulu.

Will Smith References Chris Rock Oscars Slap In Freestyle
Let's face it: We'll be talking about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars for the rest of our lives. The slap heard around the world has been discussed by all parties in the years since it happened. Will Smith addressed it directly four months after the incident — which resulted in a 10-year ban from attending the Oscars — took place. Chris has also addressed the slap several times, including in his 2023 Netflix special Selective Outrage. Meanwhile, Jada Pinkett Smith — who was previously separated from Will, and who was the butt of Chris' joke that caused the slap to begin with — has claimed that the slap actually made her want to recommit in "healing" the issues regarding their marriage. Now, if you've been following the general trajectory of popular culture this year, you probably know that Will has also made something of a comeback as a rapper. To wit: He recently appeared on Apple Music's Fire in the Booth series to drop a freestyle — and, wouldn't you know it, it sure sounds like he's talking about the damn slap in it. Don't take my word for it, though — judge for yourself from the following lyrics: 'If you talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespect me on the stage, expect me on the dish it out, cry foul when it's time to take it/ City full of real ones, wasn't raised to fake it." Hmm. Hmm! Do you think he could possibly be referring to anything else? If so, enlighten me in the comments.
