One of the most iconic groups in the history of K-pop is preparing to rekindle the flame of an entire generation.
It is official: the group WANNA ONE, formed via the show “PRODUCE 101 SEASON 2”, is making its great return with a new season of its cult reality show, “WANNA ONE GO”. In a moving teaser published on YouTube, the members share their feelings on these unexpected reunions. The artist LEE DAE HWI expresses moreover his deep emotion by confessing to having cried in front of his refrigerator upon seeing the announcement on the first day of the year, realizing that the bond with the WANNABLE is still as powerful despite the years of separation.
The group, initially managed by SWING ENTERTAINMENT and CJ ENM, marked the industry with its sales records and its unprecedented cultural impact. In this video, the members reminisce with nostalgia the highlights of previous seasons, like the wild games of Mafia or the “don’t laugh” challenges. PARK WOO JIN and YOON JI SUNG evoke their desire to go on a trip together again, far from the extreme activities that they no longer necessarily wish to practice, preferring to focus on simple and authentic moments of complicity, like doing sports or chatting on an outdoor field.
The excitement is palpable as the members wonder if they will be able to find the same energy (“tension”) as seven years ago. Despite a certain apprehension, the objective is clear: to show the fans that WANNA ONE is not simply “back”, but that they have always been present in everyone’s heart. They hope that the public will instantly find the sensations of the time. Questioned on the success of a potential surprise fan-meeting (“GUERRILLA FAN MEETING”), the members oscillate with humor between humility and ambition, hoping to gather at least 10,000 people to celebrate this historical event.
This new season of “WANNA ONE GO” promises to be a time travel for all the fans who have supported the group since 2017. The curtain rises again on one of the most significant chapters of modern Korean music.
Prepare yourself to relive the magic of WANNA ONE, because the adventure begins again right now.
