The film 'Wild Thing' (director Son Jae-gon) has drawn attention by releasing magazine posters that stimulate collecting desire and a member introduction video that highlights the characters' unexpected charms.
'Wild Thing' is a comedy film about the three-member mixed-gender dance group 'Triangle,' which once swept the pop music scene but disbanded overnight after being involved in an unexpected incident, making a reckless attempt to seize a chance at revival that comes on the 20th year. 'Wild Thing,' which has been generating buzz with every piece of content it releases, has drawn attention by releasing magazine posters and member introduction videos that offer a full look at the characters' charms.
The released magazine posters perfectly recreate the magazine cover concept that once dominated the pop music scene, immediately catching the eye. With the copy "A mixed group that will strike Korea is back!" and 'Triangle' gracing the cover, their presence grabs attention first, and details hidden throughout add to the amusement. In particular, the visuals and styling of the 'Triangle' members, who boldly wore the team's signature primary colors, overwhelm the viewer at once.
With a bob cut and a haughty expression completing a proud mood, 'Hyun Woo' (Gang Dong-won); 'Sang-gu' (Um Tae-goo), who imprints a strong individuality with a hip-hop chain necklace; and 'Domi' (Park Ji-hyun), who maximizes popping energy with goggles—all display different charms within a single frame, recalling the era's top star pictorials. The visual, completed by the interplay of different stylistic tones, engraves Triangle's unique presence beyond a simple concept. Inserted is an interview introduction for the soft-smiling ballad prince 'Seong-gon' (Oh Jung-se), which piques curiosity about his role and relationships intertwined with Triangle.
The accompanying member introduction video creates laughter by sharply alternating past glory with present reality. First, the leader of Triangle, 'Hyun Woo' (Gang Dong-won), who once swallowed stages with flashy dance as the 'dance machine,' now falls to the bottom of recognition and is even overtaken by juniors, becoming a 'livelihood machine' who struggles to make a living—his bittersweet gap alone already elicits a laugh. Next, the maknae of Triangle, 'Sang-gu,' who used to roam stages as the overzealous "storm rapper," appears as the 'failed rapper' living a harsh reality. Barely getting by as an insurance planner while still explaining policy terms to clients through rap, his undiminished passion provokes a poignant laugh.
Adding vigor to the twisty charms is the Triangle center 'Domi,' who, opposite the fresh and lively "absolute charm" in front of the camera, utters rough words off camera like "I'll get slapped." Even after becoming a chaebol family's daughter-in-law who holds "absolute wealth," her uncontainable hot girl-crush instincts burst with refreshing pleasure in every scene. Finally, the entrance of the ballad prince 'Seong-gon,' who introduces himself by saying "I'm the milky-white Choi Seong-gon, ranked No. 2 for 38 weeks," instantly grabs attention. Once an icon of "winning women's hearts," attention is focused on his unpredictable path and why he has, after crossing the years, somehow stepped into the "real hunt."
