Actress Park Ji-hyun is showing off everything from bubbly charm and girl crush vibes to elegance as ‘Domi’, the center of a girl group.
In the movie ‘Wild Thing’ (Distributed by Lotte Entertainment, Produced by About Film, Directed by Son Jae-gon), which opens in theaters on June 3, Park Ji-hyun takes on the role of Domi, the irresistibly charming center of the co-ed dance group ‘Triangle’, showcasing a side of her we’ve never seen before.
Park Ji-hyun is teasing a transformation like no other in ‘Wild Thing’. The film is a comedy about ‘Triangle’, a three-member co-ed dance group that once dominated the music scene but disbanded overnight due to an unexpected incident. Now, 20 years later, they embark on a reckless challenge to seize a chance at a comeback. The movie is already creating a buzz, with its music video surpassing 2 million views as of April 30.
Park Ji-hyun has already proven her acting skills and star power, winning the Best Supporting Actress award at the Blue Dragon Film Awards for ‘Hidden Face’ and being nominated for Best Actress at the Baeksang Arts Awards for the series ‘Eunjung and Sangyeon’. In this film, she plays Domi, a character with a twist: bubbly on stage and a fierce girl crush off stage. After retiring and living an elegant life as a daughter-in-law of a wealthy chaebol family, she awakens her suppressed instincts upon receiving a proposal to reunite ‘Triangle’, leading her to make a daring escape back to the glamorous stage.
To embody Domi, Park Ji-hyun prepared everything from the makeup and hairstyles of that era to a bold bronze tan and toned abs, delivering comedic moments that differ from her previous image.
Park Ji-hyun shared, “I’ve always wanted to try comedy. Through ‘Domi’, I’ll be able to show my funny and unrefined side without holding back.” Director Son Jae-gon expressed his trust, saying, “She is one of the most standout actresses of 2026. I was lucky enough to recognize Park Ji-hyun’s charm before anyone else.” Choreographer Yang Wook, who handled the performances, praised her, saying, “Her understanding of the choreography was excellent, and her bright, confident energy made the entire practice process enjoyable. With her great expressiveness, she handled the center role with stability.”
