Wonderland is one of the most anticipated films, and fans are particularly excited to see the chemistry between Park Bo Gum and Suzy. In the movie, they play a couple named Tae Joo and Jung In who connect via video calls in a virtual world because they can’t be together in real life.
A Song Written Overnight
In a surprising turn of events, Park Bo Gum revealed that the singing scene in Wonderland was conceived just the day before filming. With input from director Kim Tae Yong and music director Bang Joon Seok, the scene came together quickly. Park Bo Gum shared this during a press conference on June 9, 2024, explaining how the idea to have him and Suzy sing a duet was a last-minute decision that added depth to their characters’ relationship.
Collaborating on the Lyrics
What’s even more special is that Park Bo Gum co-wrote the lyrics for the duet. Along with the director and music director, they penned the song while strumming a ukulele in their dorm. The next day, they recorded the heartfelt performance. The lyrics of their song express a deep, unwavering love, even when separated by distance:
My darling, stay like this forever
My darling, you are the one I love
Even though we are far from each other now
I will always protect you
My feelings for you will never change
In the film, this song is sung by Jung In (Suzy) as she imagines meeting the AI version of Tae Joo (Park Bo Gum), who is an astronaut in the virtual world of Wonderland.
The Most Memorable Scene
Both Park Bo Gum and Suzy agree that the duet scene is the most memorable part of the film for them. It captures the bittersweet essence of their characters’ love—Jung In’s longing for Tae Joo, who remains unconscious in the real world. Using Wonderland’s AI service, she is able to see and interact with a virtual version of her lover, bringing a mix of joy and sorrow.
Park Bo Gum noted, “This scene captures the feelings of everyone who uses Wonderland’s services. Seeing someone they miss brings happiness, but the inability to meet them in person creates a complex emotional experience.”
Wonderland promises a touching love story, and the duet scene adds a layer of emotional depth that resonates with the audience. The film is set to release in South Korean cinemas on June 5, 2024. Fans worldwide are eagerly waiting for more information on international releases.
As a huge fan of both Park Bo Gum and Suzy, I’m thrilled to see them share the screen in Wonderland. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the fact that they contributed to the music makes it even more special. The last-minute creation of the song shows their dedication and talent. I can’t wait to watch this emotional journey unfold in theaters. The duet scene sounds like it will be a tear-jerker, capturing the pain and beauty of longing for someone you can’t be with. I hope the film gets a wider release soon so fans everywhere can experience this beautiful story.
