Get ready for a wild ride! The upcoming comedy film ‘Wild Thing,’ directed by Son Jae Gon and produced by About Film, has dropped some incredible stills showcasing actor Oh Jung Se’s dramatic transformation into an ill-fated balladeer.
These newly released stills are a riot, instantly highlighting the dramatic contrast between Seong Gon (played by Oh Jung Se) during his glory days as a ‘heartthrob’ who once ruled the music charts, and his current life as a ‘real hunter’ in the wilderness!
Flashback 20 years, and we see Seong Gon on stage, the epitome of an ‘ear-boyfriend’ (aka, a voice you just want to listen to forever!). With his soft, mid-length straight hair, a crisp white blouse, and soulful eyes, he’s passionately singing his heart out. His bangs even playfully cover one eye, adding to his mysterious charm and the elegant aura of a ballad prince who once made countless hearts flutter. But here’s the kicker: this unlucky star held the number 2 spot for an incredible 38 consecutive weeks, only to be cruelly dethroned by the group Triangle, ultimately setting an unprecedented, albeit bittersweet, record of 39 consecutive weeks at number 2!
But hold on tight, because another still released alongside these shows a completely different, intense visual that’s almost impossible to believe is the same person!
Forget dazzling stage lights! Now, with a dense forest as his backdrop, he’s seen roaming the wilderness with a hunting rifle slung over his shoulder, sporting wild curly hair and a bushy beard – truly the ultimate ‘natural man.’ After an unexpected incident forced him out of the entertainment world, Seong Gon became a hunter, chasing harmful wild animals instead of captivating hearts. His solitary yet determined vibe makes us even more excited for the unpredictable chemistry he’ll bring when he finally reunites with Triangle!
Oh Jung Se has completely revamped his look and story, hinting at yet another ‘life character’ in the making! Everyone’s buzzing to see what kind of hilarious performance he’ll deliver as the ultimate comedy cheat code in cinemas this summer.
‘Wild Thing’ tells the story of Triangle, a mixed-gender dance group that once dominated the music scene but disbanded due to an unexpected event. Now, after about 20 years, they get a shot at a comeback and head back to the stage! The film stars Kang Dong Won, Uhm Tae Goo, Park Ji Hyun, and Oh Jung Se, and is directed by Son Jae Gon, known for ‘Sweet, Savage Lover’ and ‘Don’t Hurt Me.’ Mark your calendars, it hits theaters on June 3rd!
