The 30-second video posted on YouTube last August 8 exudes Alice in Wonderland vibes as the protagonist, Park Ji Hoon himself, enters and explores rooms filled with mysterious keyholes, paintings, and sculptures. It also features one Easter egg that fans may recognize.
One of the display's descriptions cards is named "Nothing Without You," a title referencing his collaboration with fellow former Wanna One member Ong Seoung Wu.
