Although it was called "Wonderland," and had been preparing for production, this month, its first filming was postponed until early April due to the sudden spread of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Although the situation has been volatile due to the pandemic, the production team will start filming in April at the latest and is aiming to release the film next year after continuing to shoot for three to four months.
Attention is drawn to what new emotions "Wonderland" will bring to the audience, where a meeting of the top-notch directors, production staff and super-luxury actors took place. "Wonderland" aims to film in the first half of this year.
