Actor Eom Tae-gu revealed that he threw his whole body into 'Wild Thing'.

On the 28th, I met with Eom Tae-gu, an actor in the film 'Wild Thing' (directed by Son Jae-gon), at a cafe on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and had various conversations.

'Wild Thing' is a comedy film about the three-member mixed dance group 'Triangle', which once swept the music industry but was unexpectedly involved in an incident and disbanded overnight, as they seize a chance for rebirth after 20 years through a reckless challenge.

Eom Tae-gu takes on the role of 'Sang-gu', an overly passionate storm rapper, and embarks on a dramatic transformation. 'Sang-gu' is the youngest and main rapper of 'Triangle', who dreamed of becoming a true hip-hop warrior but whose reality was limited to just a line or two. After the group disbanded, he poured out solo albums and pictorials to vent his dream of being a 'storm rapper' that he had kept in his heart, but after failing, he now lives as an insurance agent.

For this work, Eom Tae-gu took on challenges in rap and dance. He spent five months training at the JYP Entertainment building and stated, "I learned rap and choreography for about five months, and I think I tried my best rather than just trying to do well."

Regarding watching the practice sessions of Triangle members Kang Dong-won and Park Ji-hyun, he said, "I watched them constantly falling in the practice room, and their bodies were always covered in sweat. My feeling was that it seemed like a rookie actor filming his first movie, taking on his first character and burning with passion." He added, "It was a huge inspiration, so I think I went to JYP more often to practice rap."

He also said about Park Ji-hyun, "From the beginning, when learning choreography, she felt like she was dancing very well. She was somehow different. When I did it, it felt like gymnastics, but when she did it, it really looked like dancing. And she was very playful on set, which was fun, and I was grateful." He conveyed his grateful feelings.

When asked about the most difficult point, Eom Tae-gu said, "I felt a bit embarrassed when shooting the pictorial. I shot alone in front of the door of the test shooting location. It was a place where staff came and went, so it was very embarrassing. Only my back is my real body; the buttocks and front are all CG." He smiled shyly.
