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.

    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.
