Actor Oh Jung-se is gearing up to bring the laughs to theaters this summer with a totally unexpected visual makeover!
Known for his incredible ability to dive into any character and radiate a unique presence, Oh Jung-se is stealing the spotlight by teasing a complete 180-degree reversal of charm in the movie ‘Wild Thing’ (directed by Son Jae-gon).
‘Wild Thing’, hitting theaters on June 3, is a comedy about ‘Triangle’, a three-member co-ed dance group that once dominated the music scene but disbanded after an unexpected incident. Now, 20 years later, they are taking a reckless leap to seize a second chance at fame. Oh Jung-se plays the role of Sung-gon, a tragic balladeer and the rival of ‘Triangle’.
Newly released stills are already causing a stir, showing a hilarious and dramatic contrast between Sung-gon’s days as a ‘heart-stealer’ and his current life as a ‘real hunter’.
Flashback to 20 years ago: Sung-gon is the ultimate ‘ear-boyfriend’ on stage, rocking soft medium-length straight hair and a white blouse while singing with soulful eyes. With bangs slightly covering one eye for that mysterious vibe, he perfectly captures the elegant aura of a ballad prince who made hearts flutter. Sung-gon is a tragic figure who holds the unprecedented record of staying at #2 for 39 consecutive weeks, and the gap between his past glory and current reality is set to be a major laugh point!
Meanwhile, another still reveals a shocking visual that makes it hard to believe he is the same person. Trading flashy stage lights for a dense forest, he is seen roaming the wild with a hunting rifle over his shoulder, rough curly hair, and a bushy beard, looking like a total ‘wild man’. After leaving the entertainment world to become a hunter of harmful wild animals, Sung-gon’s intense energy raises expectations for the unpredictable chemistry he will share when he reunites with the members of ‘Triangle’.
