Character factory Oh Jung-se, this time the original earphone boyfriend.
Oh Jung-se once again turns the box office upside down as the original earphone boyfriend Seong-gon in Wild Sing (provided/distributed by Lotte Entertainment | produced by About Film | directed by Son Jae-gon, opens June 3).
Oh Jung-se gives a passionate performance in Wild Sing as a rival singer to the mixed-gender dance group Triangle, played by Gang Dong-won, Um Tae-goo and Park Ji-hyun. Wild Sing is a comedy about the three-person mixed-gender dance group Triangle, which once swept the music scene but suddenly disbanded overnight after an unexpected incident, and their reckless challenge to seize a comeback opportunity that arrives 20 years later.
Oh Jung-se has demonstrated his status as a legendary character factory with outstanding acting in each work, including Good Boy, Uncle, It's Okay to Not Be Okay, When the Camellia Blooms and Extreme Job. In Wild Sing he plays the original earphone boyfriend and the ill-fated ballad prince Seong-gon, radiating a singular presence. With flowing long hair, a white shirt and a sweet voice, he rose to be a candidate for No. 1 on terrestrial TV but was pushed aside by Triangle, setting the unprecedented record of 39 consecutive weeks at No. 2.
But Seong-gon becomes embroiled in an unexpected incident, disappearing along with a dark past. Oh Jung-se will showcase exceptional comic acting by detailing Seong-gon's extreme transformation from the past "milky-hearted heartthrob" to the present-day recluse who lives as a "dangerous wild animal hunter."
Oh Jung-se said that he studied videos of various singers from that era to create Seong-gon's unique visual and gestures, and added, "Seong-gon is a person with a great longing for an unfulfilled dream. I wanted to support his humble but sincere dream, and I hoped the audience would feel that sincerity along with him." Director Son Jae-gon, who directed the film, described Seong-gon as "a lonely artist who suddenly appears, completely changes the atmosphere and belongs nowhere," and praised Oh Jung-se, saying, "He perfectly filled the gaps in the script with his own thorough preparation and interpretation. He is an actor who has the power to make even ordinary and obvious moments special."
