WannaOne to reunite for new reality show this year
Wannables, are you ready? K-pop boy group WannaOne will be reuniting this year for a new reality show!
On Jan. 2, a Mnet representative confirmed the comeback to MK Sports, stating that the members of the K-pop boy group have agreed to come together for a new reality show, marking their first group project since disbandment. Mnet also shared that the program is slated to air in the first half of 2026.
Speculation began when Mnet Plus released a teaser clip titled “2026 Coming Soon” on Jan. 1, featuring WannaOne’s signature cassette tape imagery.
The video also highlights the phrase “See You Again,” a lyric from the boy group’s track Spring Breeze. This track was released before the group’s disbandment as a promise to fans that they would reunite someday.
Speculation intensified when members Daehwi, Jinyoung, Jisung, Minhyun, Sungwoon, and Woojin shared the teaser clip on their Instagram stories.
WannaOne was formed during the second season of the audition show Produce 101 and debuted in 2017. The group consists of Park Jihoon, Kang Daniel, Hwang Minhyun, Lai Kuanlin, Bae Jinyoung, Ong Seongwu, Yoon Jisung, Ha Sungwoon, Lee Daehwi, Park Woojin, and Kim Jaehwan.
The group officially disbanded in 2019 but last performed together at the 2021 Mnet Asia Music Awards. Since then, members have pursued solo careers, while some joined other K-pop groups, such as Minhyun with NU’EST, and Daehwi and Woojin with AB6IX.
WannaOne is best known for hits like Energetic, Boomerang, and Spring Breeze.
