About Wanna One
Wanna One (워너원) was an 11-member project boy group assembled from the top finalists of Produce 101 Season 2. Exploding onto the scene with their August 7 2017 debut single “Energetic,” they shattered rookie sales records, won a sweep of year-end awards, and cultivated a massive “Wannable” fandom before concluding activities on December 31 2018 and reuniting as ten members for a special 2021 MAMA stage. Despite their brief run, Wanna One’s chart-topping hits, dynamic stage presence, and the later solo success of each member have secured them a lasting legacy as one of K-pop’s most influential project groups.

    Wanna One reunites for reality show 7 years after disbandment

    Korea Times Apr 2, 2026

    K-pop project group Wanna One will reunite for a new reality show seven years after disbanding, K-pop content platform Mnet Plus announced Wednesday. The 11-member group's new program, "WANNA ONE GO — Back to Base," will premiere April 28. Prior to the broadcast, the group will host an in-person fan event April 6 at DMC Culture Park in western Seoul. Organizers prepared the gathering to officially announce the program's start and allow the members to reconnect with their fan base, known as Wannable. The group generated a nationwide cultural phenomenon upon debuting in 2017. They immediately sold out the Gocheok Sky Dome, Korea's largest indoor arena, sold 1 million copies of their debut album and swept rookie and grand prize honors at major award ceremonies. Even after the project group disbanded, the 11 members — Kang Daniel, Park Ji-hoon and Lee Dae-hwi, Kim Jae-hwan, Ong Seong-wu, Park Woo-jin, Lai Kuan-lin, Yoon Ji-sung, Hwang Min-hyun, Bae Jin-young and Ha Sung-woon — established themselves as solo singers, actors and producers. The upcoming program is highly anticipated glob
