It’s official: the legendary K-pop powerhouse is back, and a full Wanna One Reunion is finally happening in 2026! After years of “What ifs” and solo journeys, all 11 members are coming together for a brand-new Mnet reality show titled “Wanna One Go: Back to Base,” proving that their bond is truly “Energetic” as ever.
Seven Years of Waiting: From Disbandment to Destiny
It has been seven long years since the project group, formed through Mnet’s Produce 101 Season 2, officially concluded their activities in 2019. While the members have since dominated the charts as soloists and actors, fans (Wannables) have never stopped dreaming of the day Kang Daniel, Park Ji-hoon, Hwang Min-hyun, and the rest of the crew would share the same frame again. This Wanna One Reunion marks a historic moment in K-pop’s third generation, bringing a wave of nostalgia to the global music scene.
What to Expect from “Back to Base”
The upcoming reality series isn’t just a simple sit-down interview. Mnet Plus announced that the show will premiere on April 28, 2026, featuring the members as they share laughs, reflect on their growth, and create new memories at their “new base.” Despite busy individual schedules—and even with Kang Daniel’s upcoming military enlistment—the commitment to this Wanna One Reunion shows just how much the group values their fans. Even Lai Kuan-lin is expected to make an appearance, ensuring that the 11-member lineup remains complete for this emotional comeback.
How to Watch the Premiere
Mark your calendars! “Wanna One Go: Back to Base” will first drop on the Mnet Plus streaming platform on April 28 at 6:00 PM (KST), followed by a television broadcast on Mnet two hours later. Prior to the launch, a special offline “Opening Ceremony” will be held on April 6 at the DMC Cultural Park in Seoul—the very place where their journey began.
