Netflix released the comedy film “Wild Thing” worldwide on the 31st. The film, which premiered in Korean theaters last June, set the box office ablaze this summer, receiving rave reviews from audiences for its Y2K-inspired music, lighthearted comedy, and the actors’ distinctive performances.
“Wild Thing” is a comedy film that follows the story of “Triangle,” a three-member mixed-gender dance group that once swept the K-pop scene but disbanded due to an unexpected incident, as they get a chance to return to the stage after 20 years.
Kang Dong-won, Um Tae-goo, and Park Ji-hyun starred as the members of Triangle, while Oh Jung-se delivered a powerful performance as Choi Seong-gon, a tragic ballad singer. The film was praised for the comedic chemistry and deadpan humor generated by its distinct characters.
Another charm of the film is its music. Triangle’s debut song “Love Is,” which captures the spirit of the 2000s, and Choi Seong-gon’s confession song “I Like You” are key elements that complete the film’s atmosphere. With a production team specializing in K-pop contributing to its high quality, the film is expected to offer a unique and enjoyable experience to global audiences.
“Wild Thing,” a collaboration between “Extreme Job” production company About Film and director Son Jae-gon of “I Won’t Hurt You,” is a comedy that blends humor, music, and nostalgia, and has been well-received by domestic audiences.
With this release, Netflix is providing subtitles in 32 languages, including French, Portuguese, and Chinese, as well as dubbing in 15 languages, including English, Spanish, and Japanese. Attention is now focused on whether “Wild Thing,” which made Korean audiences laugh, will resonate with global viewers as well.
