Actress Park Ji-hyun shared her excitement and surprise at collaborating with renowned actors Kang Dong-won and Uhm Tae-goo in the upcoming comedy film 'Wild Thing.' Directed by Son Jae-gon, the movie centers on the reunion of Triangle, a once-popular co-ed dance group that disbanded abruptly two decades ago due to unforeseen circumstances.

Park takes on the role of Do-mi, the former center and main vocalist of Triangle. While known for her bubbly persona on stage, Do-mi was the de facto leader backstage, commanding attention with her sharp wit and tough demeanor. Her life takes a turn when she accepts Hyun-woo's (played by Kang Dong-won) offer to reunite the group for a special performance, despite having settled into life as a chaebol daughter-in-law.

Reflecting on her co-stars, Park described working with Kang Dong-won as a "fascinating" experience, having been a long-time admirer of his work. The film promises a blend of humor and nostalgia as the members of Triangle navigate their past and present, bringing their unique story to the big screen. Park conveyed her pride in being part of the project, highlighting the unique characters and the comedic narrative that unfolds when the group attempts to recapture their former glory.

It was so fascinating. I was a fan and respected senior actors.
