    The project was kept under close wraps as the crew worked late into the night to stop curious onlookers from catching a glimpse, The Press reported.

    The video features Gloucester St, The Press building, Tūranga and a central Christchurch hotel.

    The boy group's members, Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon and Keonho, are signed to BIGHIT MUSIC.

    Their first single What You Want was released on YouTube on August 11 and has so far gained 78.5 million views in just four weeks.
