‘You Like Me’ Goes Global! ‘Wild Sing’ Confirmed for Worldwide Release on Netflix on July 31

With rapid-fire banter between standout characters and music and performances polished to a high level that filled theaters with laughter, the film 〈Wild Sing〉 will meet viewers around the world through Netflix on Friday, July 31. 〈Wild Sing〉​ is a comedy film about a three-member co-ed dance group, ‘Triangle,’ that once swept through the K-pop world but finds itself caught up in an unexpected incident and disbands overnight. Now, it launches a reckless challenge to seize the chance at a comeback it has been waiting for—20 years in the making.

〈Wild Sing〉 is a project that director Son Jae-gon teamed up on with a roster of filmmakers behind 〈Extreme Job〉 as well as 〈Sweet and Savage Lovers〉, 〈Two-Tiered Villain〉, and others—works known for original humor and solid directing. The film earned praise from Korean audiences for its nonstop laughs in unpredictable situations and the trance-like synergy created by characters with strong individuality. Adding to the buzz, it also sparked fresh interest among viewers as Kang Dong-won, Uhm Tae-gu, and Park Ji-hyun—who came together in the 2000s co-ed dance group ‘Triangle’—as well as Oh Jung-se, who takes on the role of ‘Sung-gon,’ the original “ear-tingling boyfriend” and the ill-fated ballad prince. Beyond that, the soundtrack track ‘Love is’ by ‘Triangle,’ completed with careful effort by a K-pop-specialized production team, and ‘You Like Me’ by ‘Choi Seong-gon’ made it onto music charts and helped drive a challenge craze, becoming an even bigger talking point and winning over the eyes and ears of audiences across generations.

The film 〈Wild Sing〉, which steers the summer theater rush with a soundtrack and performances that capture the nostalgia of early K-pop to the fullest, Y2K styling with details that live and breathe, and an upbeat tiki-taka chemistry among characters with bold personalities, is set to meet viewers around the world through Netflix starting Friday, July 31 and carry that momentum forward. For audiences worldwide, Netflix supports subtitles in 32 languages including French, Portuguese, and Chinese, along with dubbed tracks in 15 languages including English, Spanish, and Japanese. Ahead of the release of 〈Wild Sing〉 on Netflix, Lotte Entertainment said, “We want to expand the intense excitement audiences experienced in domestic theaters into the global market through Netflix. It will be a good opportunity to build global fandom for Korean comedy films, beyond cultural barriers.”

Packed with everything—from the fantastic tiki-taka of character after character and the nonstop bursts of laughter to the music and performances that grab both the eyes and ears—the film 〈Wild Sing〉 will be released around the world on Netflix on Friday, July 31.
