Actor Park Ji-hyun has delivered a comic performance set to bathe theaters in laughter. Retro-style music and performances that will captivate the eyes and ears of viewers are also eagerly anticipated.

In the film ‘Wild Thing’ (directed by Son Jae-gon, presented/distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by About Film), which opened on the 3rd, Park Ji-hyun takes on the role of ‘Byun Do-mi’, the irresistibly charming center of the group ‘Triangle’, and delivers a dazzling turn.

‘Wild Thing’ is a comedy about ‘Triangle’, a three-member co-ed dance group that once swept the pop scene but disbanded overnight after becoming entangled in an unexpected incident, embarking on a reckless challenge to seize a comeback opportunity 20 years later. After drawing hot interest even before release, it is finally meeting audiences.

The ‘Byun Do-mi’ played by Park Ji-hyun was the center endowed with absolute appeal in ‘Triangle’, owning a reversal charm that ranged from refreshing vivacity onstage to a tough girl-crush offstage, but after retiring she is now the daughter-in-law of a conglomerate family boasting immense wealth.

Earlier at the press conference, Park Ji-hyun said, “I got a tan because I wanted to revive the feel of that era. I also tried to research the makeup for accuracy, and since I am the main vocalist, I think I tried to project with greater volume,” sharing several points she conceived to build the character. Known for becoming her characters in every project and revealing a new face each time, Park Ji-hyun is stirring curiosity over how she will surprise everyone in this ‘Wild Thing’.
