[SPOTV News=Reporter Choi Shin-ae] Park Ji-hoon was greeted like a returning hero by Wanna One.
The first episode of Mnet Plus' \"Wanna Onego: Back to Base\" aired on the 28th, documenting the group's reunion for the first time in seven years.
Members filed into the group's waiting room one by one, visibly excited. When Park Ji-hoon stepped in, those already there erupted, shouting \"Box-office star!\" and welcoming him with unabashed enthusiasm.
Earlier this month, Park starred as Danjong in the film \"The Man Who Lives with the King,\" which opened on the 2nd and turned him into a sensation affectionately nicknamed \"Danjong oppa.\" The film has drawn 16.7 million viewers, making it the second-highest-grossing domestic release in South Korean history, behind \"Roaring Currents\" (\"Myeongryang\").
Kim Jae-hwan quipped that he had expected Park to arrive in a hanbok, eliciting laughter. When Park remarked that it was the first time he'd had idol-style makeup in a while, Kim proudly said, \"You raised Wanna One's status.\" Park, clearly embarrassed, replied, \"What are you talking about?\" and the room laughed again.
