'Actor Kang Dong-won revealed the reason he appeared in the film 'Wild Thing'.

'On the 7th, a production report for the film 'Wild Thing' (directed by Son Jae-gon) was held at Lotte Cinema in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Attending the event were director Son Jae-gon, along with actors Kang Dong-won, Park Ji-hyun, Eom Tae-gu, and Oh Jung-se.

'Wild Thing' is a comedy film about 'Triangle', a three-member mixed dance group that once dominated the music industry but disbanded overnight due to an unexpected incident, as they attempt a reckless challenge to seize a second chance at success after 20 years.

'Kang Dong-won, Eom Tae-gu, and Park Ji-hyun, who possess a perfect balance of visuals, acting skills, and trendiness, transform into the 2000s mixed dance group 'Triangle', drawing attention.

'Kang Dong-won returns as the leader of 'Triangle' and the dance machine 'Hyun-woo'. He is expected to vividly portray the character's transformation by embodying both the image of a breakdancing idol who perfectly executes headspins and turn-of-the-century styling, and the harsh daily life of a survival-type broadcaster.

'He said, "While preparing for 'Wild Thing', I always thought idols were amazing, but now I respect them even more." Regarding his reason for choosing 'Wild Thing', he added, "The genre I like the most is comedy."

'He continued, "Also, the script was so fun. It was packed with comedy, and the best part was the tightly closed ending. I wanted to try it because the story of the four characters heading toward the ending was so entertaining."
