Our Unwritten Seoul Star Park Bo Young Shares Exciting New Details About Upcoming Project
Park Bo Young will portray Hee Joo, a security screening officer at an international airport, in the upcoming Disney+ drama Gold Land. According to the actress, she chose this project because she was excited to try a new genre. Explaining the plot, the actress said the mini-series will showcase human nature to obsess over things like gold.
"I'm excited to try a new genre. The process in which Hee Joo, who seemed uninterested in gold, changes as she becomes obsessed with human nature and desires will be portrayed interestingly," Park Bo Young shared.
Gold Land Cast
The other cast members of this upcoming K-drama are Kim Sung Cheol, Lee Hyun Wook, Kim Hee Won, Moon Jung Hee, and Lee Kwang Soo. Sung Cheol will play Jang Wook, a member of a loan shark ring known as Woo Gi. Though Jang Wook is a low-ranking member of this ring, he will join his team on a mission to get back the gold bars from Hee Joo. Jang Wook approaches Hee Joo, pretending to help her, but his true motive behind the action remains unknown.
Actor Kim Sung Cheol said Woo Gi is a challenging character with complexity and suspense. Although Woo Gi appears to be trustworthy, he is always a step from betrayal. The actor teased exciting on-screen chemistry with Park Bo Young.
"Woo Gi is a challenging character, and I saw it as a chance to show a different side of myself. I'm also excited about the chemistry I'll build with Hee Joo," Kim Sung Cheol said.
Visual Appeal and Emotional Journey
Actors Lee Hyun Wook and Kim Hee Won teased visual appeal and emotional journey in the upcoming drama Gold Land. Lee Hyun Wook will appear as Lee Do Kyung, an airline co-pilot. He lures Hee Joo into gold smuggling. Although he will be introduced as her romantic partner, it remains to be seen whether Lee Do Kyung is using Hee Joo for personal gain. The actor said overseas filming locations have added to the visual appeal of the series.
"There were many parts that I was looking forward to after seeing the fresh material in the script. With overseas location filming also planned, I think the series will offer visual appeal," Lee Hyun Wook said.
Kim Hee Won will star as Kim Jin Man, a seasoned detective in the violent crimes unit at the Jeongsan Police Department. The actor has teased an emotional journey for his character in the mini-series.
"I've been having conversations with the director and continue to explore Jin Man's character. I'm thinking about his emotional journey, past experiences, and the choices he'd realistically make as a detective," Kim Hee Won teased.
In a similar vein, actress Moon Jung Hee, who will portray Yeo Sun Ok, Hee Joo's mother, said she has high expectations for this project because director Kim Seong Hun is known for his unique work. His directorial style will add depth to the emotional landscape of this complex and unique plot.
Actor Lee Kwang Soo, who takes over the role of Director Park, in-charge of Geumseong -- a lower-tier branch of the Gold Land hotel casino operation, said people of all age groups can enjoy this K-drama because it features characters who are vivid and full of life.

Cha Eun-woo's Memories VR concert: Become his 'girlfriend' in romantic fantasy show, Entertainment News
For a grand total of 45 minutes, my colleague Yuanru and I escaped reality and had the thrill of being in a love story with a very special oppa. We attended Cha Eun-woo's VR concert Memories at GV Bugis+ yesterday (July 30), where the South Korean actor-singer tried to woo us with songs and sweet nothings. Each seat comes with a VR headset and after putting it on, we flicked our hands to unveil stunning visuals of Eun-woo on interactive floating photocards. The show begins with a mystical message slip delivered by the 28-year-old himself, which says: "This is a romantic fantasy. You and I are the main characters." If his allusion of a romance with us wasn't bold enough, oppa also appears close-up in my personal space and looks directly into my eyes - which got me feeling mildly flustered, even as a non-fan. We enter a lovers-to-exes storyline, where Eun-woo tries to get over us — his ex-girlfriend Roha, short for Aroha, the fandom name of K-pop boy band Astro of which he's a member. Heartbroken, he sings various passion-filled songs - including Stay, F**king Great Time, U&I, You're the Best and Memories - in an attempt to profess his unending feelings for us. Imagine a sappy romantic K-drama with all the works: Premium flashes of Eun-woo's abs while he's looking like an angel clad in all-white; him getting all cute and Christmasy with his pet dog Dongdong, who ended up stealing the show; backdrops that include a gazebo, a park and his room filled with memories of our relationship with him; and a comedic portrayal of the five stages of grief, where he gets adorably drunk resulting in our theatre going into a state of hysteria. At multiple climactic points in the concert, we are presented with three options to progress through the storyline, and the ending is specific to each screening through audience consensus. 'Beyond just a concert' Despite only being less than an hour, the experience stood out due to how realistic our moments with Eun-woo felt. Time was spent on building our chemistry with him and his acting performances connected us deeper, even as some of the cheesy lines made for an amusing time. And it's definitely heartwarming to 'see him' especially now that he has enlisted. The name of the concert - Memories - becomes more apt, because this is what fans will remember of him until he returns from his service in two years. He began his mandatory military service in the South Korean army brass band on July 28, according to a statement by his agency Fantagio. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 차은우 (@eunwo.o_c) And certainly, he's sure to come back with a bang. After all, Eun-woo spoke last night: "How we continue this story will be our fate." Memories will be screened from July 31 to Aug 16 exclusively at Golden Village Bugis+, with tickets priced at $38 for members and $40 for the public. The first 300 viewers will receive a limited-edition poster, while all ticket-holders will get a photocard. [[nid:720751]] No part of this article can be reproduced without permission from AsiaOne.

‘Squid Game,' Park Bo-gum and K-pop: Korea continues to attract tourists with K-content
July 30, 2025 SEOUL – Clad in the iconic green tracksuit from 'Squid Game,' Ria dashes through South Korean landmarks, pursued by guards in pink jumpsuits. But this isn't a teaser for a new season of the global Netflix sensation — it's a tourism promotion video that has racked up more than 11 million views since its release on July 3. In another campaign leveraging the popularity of 'All of Us Are Dead,' two high school students and Jason, a friend turning into a zombie, take viewers through major tourist attractions, blending the show's zombie survival theme with explorations of scenic spots. The videos are part of a broader strategy that taps into the global appeal of Korean pop culture to attract international visitors. 'Escape to Korea' (KTO) Park Bo-gum, who recently starred in 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' appears in three separate tourism videos, including a music video for 'On My Way.' Performed by Park, 'On My Way' is the result of a collaboration between the Korea Tourism Organization, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the K-pop industry. The track was composed by Kenzie, Andrew Choi, No2zcat, JSONG (Oceancave) and Kim Yoohyun. Kenzie, who also wrote the lyrics, is a prolific K-pop producer behind dozens of hits, while Andrew Choi provided vocals as Jinwoo, a member of the fictional idol group Saja Boys in Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters.' Park said that one of his favorite places is the area surrounding Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung. 'But I hope you'll also explore regions outside of Seoul. I'd especially recommend Busan, where I recently filmed 'Good Boy,' he added. He also recommended Seoul's public bike-sharing service, Seoul Bike, officially known as Ddareungi. 'I love riding a Ddareungi along the Han River,' the actor said. 'If you haven't tried it yet, I'd really like to introduce you to it.' Official music video for 'On My Way' (KTO) This year's campaign also includes two videos promoting Korea's regional charm — one spotlighting the Gyeongsang region and another focused on the Jeolla provinces. The video on Gyeongsang captures the energy and cultural richness of the North and South Gyeongsang provinces through a modern reinterpretation of the traditional sword dance, 'geommu.' Meanwhile, the video on Jeolla provinces showcases the region's serene natural beauty through 'seungmu,' a meditative and graceful dance. Both videos are set to a fusion of traditional and modern music. Through these new videos, the campaign aims to showcase the regions' cultural and scenic appeal while highlighting areas still healing from hardship, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. A promotional video for the Gyeongsang provinces, 'Echoes of Korea – Gyeongsang' (KTO) These two regions were the sites of tragic incidents last year: wildfires that lasted for 10 days in South Gyeongsang Province in March and a plane crash in Muan-gun, South Jeolla Province, in December that killed all but two on board. A promotional video for the Jeolla provinces, 'Echoes of Korea – Jeolla' (KTO) First launched in 2015, South Korea's tourism promotional videos, featuring top celebrities such as BTS, Lee Jung-jae and NewJeans, have drawn increasing global attention, particularly following the breakout success of the 'Feel the Rhythm of Korea' series in 2020. The series has since become a cultural phenomenon, with its videos collectively amassing over 240 million views across multiple platforms. BTS also appeared on several 'Feel the Rhythm of Korea' videos in 2022, which reached over 230 million views on YouTube less than three weeks after their release. Last year, South Korea welcomed approximately 16.37 million overseas visitors, a 48.4 percent increase from the previous year and reaching 94 percent of the pre‑COVID‑19 peak of around 17.5 million in 2019, according to the KTO. The country aims to attract 18.5 million overseas visitors this year, up 13 percent from 2024. By 2027, Korea hopes to welcome 30 million international visitors annually by expanding cultural exports and enhancing tourism infrastructure across the country. gypark@

How KPop Demon Hunters became the surprise hit of the summer
In the colourful, animated, musical world of KPop Demon Hunters, everyone is a fan. The general public rocks T-shirts supporting their favorite idols. They hold light sticks and stare starry-eyed at stadium stages; they scream, they cry, they cheer, they buy the merch. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise, then, that the film itself has inspired similar fanfare, having topped Netflix's global rankings. Fans have flooded the internet with art, covers, cosplay and choreography in response to the movie, which follows the fictional K-pop girl group Huntrix as they fight demons. And it's not just the film that's a summer hit. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack has topped the charts, debuting at the top of Billboard's Soundtracks chart and number eight on the all-genre Billboard 200. Here's how KPop Demon Hunters became the year's surprising success story. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack utilises some of the best and brightest in the genre. That included a partnership with K-pop company The Black Label, co-founded by super producer Teddy Park, known for his work with Blackpink and 2NE1 – empowered girl groups used as references for the film's protagonists, the trio Huntrix. It's one of the many reasons the musical film's soundtrack stands on its own. Filmmakers 'really did their homework,' says Jeff Benjamin, a music journalist who specialises in K-pop. Indeed, they did a lot of research. One of the film's directors, Maggie Kang, said that her team prioritised 'representing the fandom and the idols in a very specific way' to not disappoint K-pop fans. They pulled from a treasure trove of influences heard at every corner: The fictional, rival boy band Saja Boys' hit song Soda Pop, for example, references the '90s K-pop group H.O.T. And it has worked. KPop Demon Hunters is the highest charting soundtrack of 2025, with eight of its songs landing on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at number two on the all-genre Billboard 200. To put that in perspective: Lorde's Virgin and Justin Bieber's Swag did the same. In some ways, it recalls Disney's Encanto, which topped the Billboard 200 and produced the number one hit "We Don't Talk About Bruno" in 2022. Similarly, KPop Demon Hunters embraces 'the original soundtrack, which is a lost art form,' adds Benjamin. Tamar Herman, a music journalist and author of the Notes On K-pop newsletter, says the movie succeeds because it embraces animated musical tradition and authentic K-pop music production styles in equal measure. She considers KPop Demon Hunters to be 'a musical with songs inspired by K-pop', not unlike a jukebox musical, where the songs of ABBA are reimagined for Mamma Mia. The novelty of the film, too, seems to be resonating. Where many animated films rely on adapting existing intellectual property, KPop Demon Hunters is original. And it comes from an original perspective. 'It's not completely Korean, it's not completely Western and it's kind of right in that middle,' says Kang. 'It's like not pulled from one side; it's kind of flavours of both. So, I think that's what makes the movie feel a little different.' And 'the core story is what's drawing everybody in,' says Kang. San Francisco-based cosplayer and content creator Nanci Alcantar, who goes by Naanny Lee online, agrees. 'It's not only a K-pop group, but it also tells a story of their journey, of how they transform into powerful warriors,' said Alcantar in Spanish. For her, it goes beyond K-pop – it's about the narrative. Kang's approach to cultural authenticity, too, may have contributed to the film's crossover appeal. Rather than explaining Korean elements like Huntrix's visit to a traditional medicine clinic or translating K-pop light stick culture for Western audiences, she opted for full immersion. 'We just wanted everybody to just accept that they were in Korea,' Kang said. The director said this method of 'throwing people into the deep end of a culture' breaks down barriers better than a heavy-handed explanation. 'We just wanted to keep everything feeling normal,' she explained. 'If you don't shine a light on it, it just becomes more easily accepted.' Zabrinah Santiago, a San Diego-based longtime K-pop fan and freelance illustrator who goes by ItmeZ online, was so inspired by the animation style of the movie that she raced to make fan art. She sold illustrated fan cards of Huntrix and Saja Boys at her booth at the Los Angeles Anime Expo, held in July, two weeks after the movie was released on Netflix. And she wasn't the only one. A search of #kpopdemonhunters on Instagram yields thousands of fan illustrations of Huntrix and Saja Boys. Japan-based YouTuber Emily Sim, also known as Emirichu online, says the character designs and original plot drew her to the movie. Sim, with more than 3.5 million subscribers on YouTube, posted a 35-minute video about the movie. In a week-and-a-half, it garnered nearly 450,000 views. 'I love seeing all the fan art and just the ways that this movie has creatively inspired people,' Sim said. Kang says for KPop Demon Hunters, her team wanted to bring together demons and Jeoseung Saja, the grim reaper in Korean mythology, for a film that could look both very traditional and modernised – what she says is common in K-dramas but not in animation. Herman compares the movie to another Sony animation, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, which also attracted a broad audience with its creative animation. 'And it's a fun, animated musical, which we haven't had in a while,' she says. 'It's campy, it's engaging, it's universal.' Santiago was initially sceptical of the title KPop Demon Hunters. 'I feel like with big companies they kind of like to use K-pop as a bait. They kind of like to take advantage of K-pop fans' sincerity,' said Santiago. 'But I felt like with this one, it was such like kind of a love letter to K-pop fans.' Indeed, if the film wasn't authentic to K-pop fans' experience, or mocked them, it is unlikely to have become so popular, says Benjamin. Instead, there are Easter eggs for the dedicated K-pop listener. Herman agrees and says that the film has in-jokes for K-pop fans, not unlike a children's movie that features some humour meant to appeal specifically to parents. 'Figuring out what makes K-pop tick in a way that resonates with musical fans was really important to this movie,' said Herman. For Kang, that was always at the heart of the project. 'Fandom plays a huge part in the world being saved at the end of the movie,' she said. 'So, we were really confident that we were doing that justice.'
