What the Teaser Shows Us?
The teaser begins with a clip from Wanna One’s live fan meeting, where the members are met with a familiar van from when they promoted as a group nine years prior. They then travel straight to their upgraded base camp, featuring fun and modern interiors with personalized rooms.
That single image — eleven grown men piling into a van that used to carry them to stages, broadcast studios, and sleepless schedules — is going to break every long-time fan. It’s a reunion that is equal parts nostalgia and new beginnings.
Despite initial hesitation — with Hwang Minhyun expressing concern and Park Woo Jin commenting that they were a bit past the age to play with toys — the members had a blast playing with the toys and letting loose their chaotic energy, proving that nothing has changed since they were together as a group. The group dynamics, the teasing, the unfiltered laughter — it’s all still there, preserved in amber.
The teaser ends with the members receiving a great surprise, suddenly becoming emotional with unexpected tears. Furthermore, in addition to “The King’s Warden” director Jang Hang Jun making a surprise appearance, the members start acting unlike their usual selves — drawing attention and making viewers curious about what surprise situations will unfold.
Unexpected tears after a fun toy session? A film director showing up out of nowhere? Something big is clearly being planned for these boys, and the anticipation is already at fever pitch.
Wanna One, the group formed through the reality competition Produce 101 Season 2 in 2017, has remained one of the most beloved K-pop groups even years after disbandment — a testament to the bond between the members and their dedicated fanbase.
