The movie ‘Wild Thing’ (directed by Son Jae Gon) has revealed the key highlights of the film, promising an explosive performance from Gang Dong Won, Um Tae Goo, Park Ji Hyun, and Oh Jung Se ahead of its premiere.
‘Wild Thing’ is a comedy about Triangle, a three-member co-ed dance group that once dominated the music scene but disbanded overnight after an unexpected incident. Now, 20 years later, they embark on a reckless challenge to seize a chance at a comeback.
Gang Dong Won, playing the role of Triangle’s leader Hyun Woo with visuals straight out of a manhwa, is set to lead the summer box office with his sly comic acting and high-difficulty performances.
Um Tae Goo transforms into rapper Sang Goo, exploding his inner introvert’s passion through hip hop. He delivers intense comic swag, switching between rapid-fire rapping and pitifully funny acting. Meanwhile, Park Ji Hyun shines as the refreshing center Do Mi, showcasing a girl-crush twist that announces the birth of a new comedy queen.
Adding to the chaos is Oh Jung Se as the “ballad prince” Seong Gon, who famously held 2nd place for 39 consecutive weeks. As a laughter hunter who dominates the screen just by appearing, he completes this unbeatable comedic combination.
The film also features a lineup of scene-stealers, including the hidden card Shin Ha Kyun, who add even more flavor and fun to the story.
Fans can look forward to the essence of 100% pure comedy that can only be experienced in theaters.
Created by the production team behind ‘Extreme Job’ and director Son Jae Gon, who has dedicated his career to comedy, ‘Wild Thing’ is set to captivate audiences with unpredictable situations, non-stop episodes, and the fantastic comic chemistry between the actors.
Blending comedy DNA with K-POP sensibilities, this new style of entertainment movie offers thrilling and exciting fun through flashy performances and a variety of visual spectacles.
The high-quality music and performances designed to capture the eyes and ears of all generations are also a major highlight.
A professional K-POP production team, including composer Shim Eun Ji (who has worked with TWICE, SHINee, and IU), JYP producers, and the SSAK3 choreography team, joined forces to create top-tier stage performances.
From the addictive dance track ‘Love is’ and the intense beat of ‘Shout it out’ to the sweet ballad ‘I Like You’, the songs are so catchy that audiences will likely want to add them to their playlists immediately.
Furthermore, the styling and vivid stage performances perfectly evoke the Y2K end-of-the-century vibe, adding to the visual enjoyment.
‘Wild Thing’ is scheduled to hit theaters on June 3.
