'Wild Thing' Park Ji-hyun revealed that she modeled her character after Lee Hyori of the former girl group Fink.

'Wild Thing' (directed by Son Jae-gon) held a press screening at Seoul Songpa-gu Lotte Cinema World Tower on the 18th. Following the screening, a press conference was held with director Son Jae-gon, actors Kang Dong-won, Park Ji-hyun, Eom Tae-gu, and Oh Jung-se in attendance.

'Wild Thing' is a comedy film about a three-member mixed dance group called 'Triangle,' which once dominated the music industry but disbanded overnight due to an unexpected incident, as they seize a chance for redemption after 20 years through a reckless challenge.

'Triangle' leader and dance machine 'Hyun-woo' is played by Kang Dong-won, while Park Ji-hyun and Eom Tae-gu take on the roles of vocalists 'Domi' and rapper 'Sang-gu' within the group, respectively. Oh Jung-se stars as the tragic ballad prince 'Choi Seong-gon.'

'Wild Thing' Kang Dong-won said regarding his character portrayal, "I referenced many people. In fact, my generation grew up watching them. I wanted to pay homage to the style of those seniors." He further explained, "For the dance scenes, I thought of other people. I acted with the feeling of paying homage to many singer seniors."

'Wild Thing' Park Ji-hyun stated, "Not only me, but everyone involved in the film, including the costume and makeup teams and the director, helped build the character. So we tried to capture that era well. We referenced all the idols and groups from that time." She added, "The reason Lee Hyori of Fink left a deep impression on me is that Lee Hyori from that era is the most memorable. I tried to reference her freshness, sexiness, and eye smiles."

'Wild Thing' Eom Tae-gu said, "For the rap parts, I tried to work hard following the guidance and instructions. The wig and costumes were decided by the team."

'Wild Thing' is scheduled for release on June 3.
