Singer Kang Daniel announced that he will participate in the reality program 'Wanna One Go' for the first time in 7 years. On the 2nd, Kang Daniel shared this news while responding to fan questions on the fan community platform V-Live. He stated, "Oh, I want to answer this question because there are many questions... it's a reality show, right?" and cautiously added, "And I will be studying abroad next year, so maybe just the intro... together...?" This remark suggests that Kang Daniel will be participating in 'Wanna One Go', which is being produced with the goal of being aired in the upcoming first half of the year. He also explained through comments that 'next year' refers to this year and 'studying abroad' means military enlistment.

Wanna One is a project group that debuted through the Mnet audition program 'Produce 101 Season 2' in 2017. They received immense love and achieved syndrome-level popularity at that time. Recently, Mnet's YouTube channel released a video titled '2026 Coming Soon, Let's Meet Again', which increased anticipation for the 'Wanna One comeback' as Wanna One members shared it. On the 2nd, an Mnet official disclosed to OSEN, "While the Wanna One members were contemplating a meeting with Wannables, they decided to produce the reality program that Wannables loved the most." They further stated, "Mnet is preparing for a release in the first half of 2026. We will provide specific scheduling and details as soon as they are finalized."

As Wanna One members come together again in entertainment after 7 years since their activities ended, Kang Daniel will only conduct some filming before enlisting.

Wanna One will reunite after 7 years. After disbanding as a project group, they will meet fans again through a reality program in the first half of this year. On the 2nd, Mnet announced, "While the Wanna One members were contemplating a meeting with Wannables, they decided to produce a reality program, which was the content fans loved the most." They added, "This reality show is being prepared with the goal of being released in the first half of this year, and we will provide specific scheduling and details as they are confirmed."

On the 1st, Mnet Plus released a teaser video titled '2026 Coming Soon, Let's Meet Again' on its official YouTube channel. The video features a scene of a cassette tape with the Wanna One logo playing. The lyrics "Let's meet again" that flowed out as the tape played are a line from Wanna One's last activity song 'Spring Breeze', which captured the farewell with fans just before the end of their contract, bringing tears to many eyes.

Following the release of the video, various reactions about the possibility of Wanna One's reunion poured in on online communities and social media. In particular, members such as Hwang Min-hyun, Yoon Ji-sung, Lee Dae-hwi, and Park Woo-jin have posted meaningful content on their personal social media, further heightening expectations. As Mnet's official channel and the members' social media activities align, Wannables have reacted, saying, "Even if it's not a full group, just meeting again is significant."

Wanna One is an 11-member boy group formed through the Mnet survival program 'Produce 101 Season 2' in 2017. The group consists of Yoon Ji-sung, Ha Sung-woon, Hwang Min-hyun, Ong Seong-woo, Kim Jae-hwan, Kang Daniel, Park Ji-hoon, Park Woo-jin, Bae Jin-young, Lee Dae-hwi, and Lai Kuan-lin. Starting with their debut song 'Energetic', they received tremendous love for every song they released, including 'Boomerang' and 'Beautiful', establishing themselves as a representative project group in K-pop. However, due to the nature of the project group, they officially ended their activities after a group concert in January 2019.

Afterwards, the members have been active in their respective fields, either debuting as solo artists, re-debuting in new groups, or transitioning to acting. This reality program, which has been realized after 7 years, will not only reminisce about Wanna One's memories but also serve as a precious link with fans. Wannables are paying attention to what kind of emotions this meeting will bring.
