Director Son Jae-koon, who has consistently delivered comedy works, and the production team behind 'Extreme Job', Veteran, have joined forces with K-pop experts for the film 'Wild Thing'.

This summer, the comedy film 'Wild Thing' is drawing attention with a full lineup ranging from a comedy specialist director to the Veteran production team and K-pop experts. 'Wild Thing' is a comedy film about a three-member mixed dance group called 'Triangle', which once dominated the music scene but disbanded overnight due to an unexpected incident, as they attempt a reckless challenge to seize a second chance at success after 20 years.

First, director Son Jae-koon, who has built a unique worldview in the comedy genre, takes the helm. Captivating both critics and audiences with his debut work 'Sweet, Deadly Lover', he has since established his own niche through 'The Villainess' and 'Don't Worry, I'm a Ghost' with imaginative settings and ironic humor. This latest work is set to showcase the essence of 'Son Jae-koon-style' comedy with distinctive characters, unpredictable storylines, and non-stop laughter.

Adding to this, About Films, the production company behind 'Extreme Job', Korea's highest-grossing comedy film of all time, and veteran production staff from various fields lend credibility. Makeup director Cho Tae-hee, known for 'Zombie Daughter', 'Moving', and 'Owl', makeup head Kim Na-eun, credited with 'The Worst Evil', 'Pine', and 'Hero', and costume director Kim Jeong-won, who worked on 'Love in the Big City', 'Pilot', and 'Gil Bok-soon', join forces to recreate Y2K styling and boost immersion. Additionally, music director Lee Jin-hee, known for 'Gil Bok-soon' and 'Kingmaker', not only created a soundtrack blending past moods with modern sensibilities but also enriched the film's texture through custom-made songs for the movie, including the dance track 'Shout it out' and the ballad 'I Like You'.

The involvement of actual K-pop experts also draws attention. Composer Shim Eun-ji, who has worked with TWICE, SHINee, IU, and others, took charge of writing and composing 'Triangle's' signature song 'Love is', while producers from JYP Entertainment, including KASS, who have collaborated with NMIXX, GOT7, ITZY, and others, joined to enhance authenticity. Choreography was handled by Nana Company, which worked with 'Ssaksuri', meticulously implementing everything from breaking dance to the energetic idol-style choreography, completing a diverse array of visual spectacles.

Meanwhile, 'Wild Thing' will be available in theaters on June 3.
