• Interview with Park Ji-hyun, who plays the role of Tomi in the film 'Wild Thing'

Actress Park Ji-hyun revealed that she performed the stage alone in her room to portray the center of a girl group.

On the 26th, an interview with Park Ji-hyun, the protagonist of the film 'Wild Thing' (directed by Son Jae-kon), was held at a café in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

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

Park Ji-hyun plays the role of 'Tomi', the center and absolute charm of 'Triangle' in the film. Tomi, who possesses a contrasting charm that swings between fresh and lively on stage and a rough girl crush off stage, lives an elegant life as the daughter-in-law of a chaebol family boasting absolute wealth after retirement, but awakens her suppressed instincts upon receiving a proposal to reunite 'Triangle', embarking on a departure to a glamorous stage.

Regarding her impressions of acting alongside Kang Dong-won and Eom Tae-goo in an idol mixed group, Park Ji-hyun stated, "It was true that I felt burdened because it was a character I had never tried before. The casting lineup of my seniors was glamorous, so I also worried about whether I would be able to hold my own." She added, "From the moment the director cast me, he showed me his belief by having seen my previous works and my appearances in other content or on YouTube, observing the parts that were hidden within me. I acted trusting in such a director."

To prepare for this role, Park Ji-hyun also made efforts externally, such as getting a tan and building abdominal muscles. Park Ji-hyun said, "It was a new task for me. I felt that the tan suited me quite well. I thought that was the point that differentiated 20-something Tomi from 40-something Tomi. I wanted to show the free-spiritedness of 20-something Tomi. It was a feeling of a frank and carefree young woman in expressing herself, and I tried to show a free side through the tan. I built abdominal muscles, but I don't have them now," she laughed.

Speaking about her impressions of acting in a comedy, Park Ji-hyun said, "From the moment I started acting, I really wanted to do comedy. I had big dreams about comedy, but when I actually did it, it turned out to be a much more difficult task than I thought." She added, "It's not something that can be done just because acting is possible, nor is it something that can be done just because the script is interesting. Everything has to fit together for it to be possible. It seems to be a very subjective genre and unpredictable."

When asked if she practiced in front of a mirror to show her side as a girl group center, Park Ji-hyun replied, "When I look in the mirror, I become self-conscious and my confidence drops. I played videos of singers on the screen and performed the stage alone in my room. I practiced while lost in self-admiration. I couldn't show that side to others." She continued, "I tried hard to boost my confidence. Rather than worrying about how I would look, I did my best with the thought of trusting myself and showing confidence on stage. Watching G-Dragon's stage, I felt that confidence was very attractive."

Meanwhile, 'Wild Thing' is scheduled to be released on June 3.
