The film Wild Things, opening June 3, has dropped 12 buzzworthy press stills that showcase the leads in bold, never-before-seen transformations.
The story follows Triangle, a once-dominant co-ed dance trio, as they stage a daring comeback two decades after their heyday. The newly released stills trace their journey through time — from their fresh trainee years to their glittering peak and where they stand now — painting a vivid, time-spanning narrative.
In particular, the trainee-era shots capture Hyun-woo (Kang Dong-won), who drew attention for standout b-boying skills; Sang-gu (Um Tae-goo), who trained relentlessly with dreams of pure hip-hop; and Domi (Park Ji-hyun), whose girl-crush charisma pops off the screen. Their free-spirited energy is palpable. Performance images from their prime show the trio at the height of their fame, moving in perfect sync.
Fast-forward 20 years, and the contrast is stark: Hyun-woo is now a variety show regular hustling to make ends meet, Sang-gu is buried in debt after a failed solo album, and Domi has married into a chaebol family. The then-and-now setup cranks up anticipation for what comes next.
Since unveiling its character posters and a concept teaser, Wild Things has kept the hype rolling by operating Triangle’s in-film social media accounts in real life, sparking major engagement from prospective viewers. A preview snippet of their debut track, 'Love Is,' also stirred up buzz.
Even from the stills alone, fans are shocked by the cast’s radical transformations, with comments like "Kang Dong-won really doing a headspin" and "Am I even allowed to watch this?" flooding in.
