PARK GUN WOOK（ZEROBASEONE）×JW ANDERSON｜ Pursue the beauty of inconsistencies and the absurd ideals

"JW ANDERSON" invites
An unexpected world of dreams

“JW ANDERSON” Men’s Spring Summer 2025 and Women’s Resort 2025 are based on the theme of “Lucid Dream”. He explored the landscape in his dream, the strange and absurd ideals. It is an unexpected and absurd world of dreams imagined by a semi-awakened or semi-sleep brain. Clothes that impress the viewer and give the wearer a sense of reality--the duality of such clothes is expressed with attractive materials.

"I wore JW ANDERSON pants when shooting the jacket of Japan's 1st single 'Yurayura-Fateful Flower-'. When I wore it, it became a bright atmosphere and I remember that it was very fun. "I felt it was a differentiated brand with exciting elements and a bit different from others," says Park Gonnuk, recalls his encounter with JW ANDERSON. In connection with this season's collection on the theme of "dreams," I asked about the dreams I've seen recently.
"I think a dream is a phenomenon that comes out of unconsciousness. What you want to do, what you have left an impression, what you want, or what you are afraid of?……。 It appears as a dream that you are not clearly recognized in yourself. It's interesting because unconscious emotions suddenly come out in dreams. Recently, I dreamed of playing together in a hometown where I was born and raised with my local friends. It's a very nostalgic place of memories."

"The casual playfulness in the detail is
It's like JW ANDERSON."

In Tasha's polo knit with the motif of British architecture worn by Gonuk is also a piece that depicts a strange and surreal sight that appears in his dream. The twisted tops are coordinated with faded dark gray wide denim that is perfect for today's mood.
"Because it's a brand that has both men and women, it has a very good fit. Also, when I actually wear the clothes, the silhouette is really like now! "I was impressed that the casual design of the belt was casually designed on the hem of the denim, and the casual playfulness of the details was like JW ANDERSON," says Gonnuk.

Dwell in Park Gonuk
Inconsistencies between strength and weakness

"If you compare yourself to a color, Purple. Purple is a color that can be mixed with red and blue, but at first glance, "red" and "blue" feel the opposite. But if they are combined, it will become a beautiful color of purple - I myself are a person who has such conflicting parts. It's tall and big, so it looks a little strong. The members also said that my first impression was "I was scared" (laughs). But as I was spending time with everyone in this way, I was tearful.……Now everyone understands the slightly weak parts of me. I think I'm Purple because there is an inconsistencies between strength and weakness in myself."

The "loafer bag" that Gonuk picks is a new bag that is attracting attention this season. Inspired by the classic penny loafer, the details of the shoes were sublimated into the bag. The small playfulness of hand-sewn stitching on the side, like a loafer, creates an accent to the style.

"There is no end to learning in life."
The ideal human image of a 20-year-old.

"I think the 'cool-hearted person' is a veteran. I really respect those who have been doing one thing for a long time, such as a veteran actor. The fact that you have done for a long time means that you have made much effort and have proved it. I think it's a great blessing to be able to continue doing my favorite job. That's why I want to work for a long time and become a singer who is called "Veterans".

I really like a movie called "My Intern". It's a story about a retired man working as an intern under a young female CEO, but I thought it was wonderful that he didn't hesitate to take on the challenge. In addition, there is a lot for young people to learn from those who have accumulated experience, and vice versa, even those who have a wealth of life experience can continue to learn new things no matter how old they are.……The film told me that there is no end to learning life."
