Netflix announced on the 15th, “The movie ‘Wild Thing’ will be available to viewers worldwide on Netflix on the 31st.”
"Wild Thing" is a comedy film about “Triangle,” a three-member co-ed dance group that once swept the music scene but disbanded overnight after being caught up in an unexpected incident, as they embark on a reckless challenge to seize a chance at a comeback 20 years later.
Netflix will provide subtitles in 32 languages—including French, Portuguese, and Chinese—as well as dubbing in 15 languages—including English, Spanish, and Japanese—for viewers worldwide.
A representative from Lotte Entertainment stated, “We aim to extend the enthusiastic reception the film received in Korean theaters to the global market through Netflix. This will serve as a great opportunity for Korean comedy films to build a global fanbase by transcending cultural barriers.”
“Wild Thing” offered audiences a refreshing experience thanks to the bold transformations of Kang Dong-won, Um Tae-goo, and Park Ji-hyun—who reunited as the 2000s mixed-gender dance group “Triangle”—and Oh Jung-se, who took on the role of “Seong-gon,” the original “boyfriend for the ears” and the ill-fated “ballad prince.”

In addition, “Love Is,” the debut song by “Triangle”—meticulously crafted by a team of K-pop production experts—and Choi Seong-gon’s “I Like You” captured the audience’s attention and gained widespread popularity. In particular, Oh Jung-se fully embodied the character of Choi Seong-gon, greeting the audience during his stage greetings and sparking a buzz by leading the “I Like You” challenge craze with its addictive melody.
“Wild Thing” is a collaboration between director Son Jae-gon—who has showcased his unique sense of humor and solid directing skills in works such as “Extreme Job” (produced by About Film), “Sweet and Deadly Lovers,” “The Villain on the Second Floor”—a director known for his original humor and solid directing skills—and has been well-received by domestic audiences for its nonstop laughter amid unpredictable situations and the electrifying synergy of its distinctive characters.
Furthermore, the film drove the summer box office with its soundtrack and performances that perfectly captured the nostalgia of early K-pop, its meticulously detailed Y2K styling, and the delightful back-and-forth chemistry between its distinctive characters.
