From Ballad Prince to Wilderness Hunter — Oh Jung Se’s Wild Transformation in Korean Comedy Film Wild Sing Is Everything

If you thought you’d seen every side of Oh Jung Se — think again. The beloved South Korean actor is about to deliver one of the most visually hilarious character pivots of the year, and newly released stills from Wild Sing prove it completely.

Oh Jung Se’s Character: 39 Weeks at No. 2 — Wild Sing

Oh Jung Se plays Sung Gon, a ballad singer known in his prime as the “Ballad Prince” — a man whose gentle voice, soulful gaze, and stylishly mysterious fringe that slightly covered one eye had women completely swooning. There was just one problem: he spent 39 consecutive weeks at No. 2 in the charts, every single time knocked off the top spot by his rivals, the co-ed trio TRIANGLE.

Fast forward 20 years. Sung Gon is no longer aiming for women’s hearts — he’s aiming at wild animals. Armed with a hunting rifle, sporting unruly curls and a full beard, he roams the wilderness looking nothing like the sleek ballad prince who once lit up stages. The contrast between the two eras, captured in the newly released character stills, is as funny as it sounds.

When TRIANGLE attempts their chaotic comeback, Sung Gon — still carrying a 20-year grudge — is inevitably pulled back into the picture.

What Is Wild Sing? The Full Story

Wild Sing is a Korean comedy film about TRIANGLE, a once-legendary co-ed K-pop trio who dominated the music industry before an unexpected scandal brought their career to an abrupt halt overnight. Two decades later, group leader Hwang Hyun Woo receives an invitation to perform as TRIANGLE again — a last shot at the comeback of a lifetime. He just has to find his members first.

The catch? Life has not been kind to any of them.

Complicating the reunion even further is YGP, the CEO of TRIANGLE’s former agency — a figure from their past with whom they share a deeply bitter history — who also resurfaces when the comeback begins.

The Team Behind the Film

Wild Sing is produced by the same team behind the 2019 mega-hit comedy Extreme Job — which remains one of the highest-grossing Korean films of all time. The film is directed by Son Jae Gon (My Scary Girl, Secret Zoo) and distributed by Lotte Entertainment, with a runtime of 1 hour 47 minutes.

The three TRIANGLE actors — Kang Dong Won, Park Ji Hyun, and Uhm Tae Goo — committed to intensive choreography and rap training comparable to real idol trainee prep for their roles. A pre-release track called “Love Is” featuring all three was dropped in April 2026 ahead of the film’s theatrical run, and the 1990s-era idol staging is already generating serious buzz online.

Key Film Details at a Glance

Why Wild Sing Is One to Watch This Summer

This is not a small indie comedy. Wild Sing brings together Kang Dong Won — one of Korea’s biggest A-list film actors — alongside the critically acclaimed Uhm Tae Goo, the rising Park Ji Hyun (Twenty-Five Twenty-One), and the endlessly watchable Oh Jung Se (It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, Extraordinary Attorney Woo). The production team behind Extreme Job alone signals a high-quality commercial comedy with the kind of ensemble energy that fills theatres.

Oh Jung Se’s Sung Gon is shaping up to be the scene-stealing wildcard — a man so embittered by 39 weeks at No. 2 that he fled music entirely and now hunts animals in the wilderness. The fact that this man and TRIANGLE are about to be in the same room again is the comedic engine this film is built on.
