Wanna One to Reunite With Fans Through New Mnet Reality Show in 2026

Wanna One is officially preparing to meet fans once again through a new TV variety reality program, scheduled to be released in the first half of 2026. The announcement has sparked excitement among fans, as it marks one of the group’s most meaningful collective activities in years.

On January 2, an Mnet official confirmed the news, explaining that the Wanna One members themselves initiated discussions on how they could reunite with their fandom, Wannable. During these conversations, the members reportedly agreed that producing a reality program—one of the formats fans loved the most during their active years—was the best way to reconnect.

The official further stated that Mnet is currently in the preparation stage, with the goal of launching the reality program within the first half of the year. While details such as the exact broadcast schedule and content format have yet to be finalized, Mnet assured fans that additional information will be shared once planning is complete.

Anticipation was further fueled a day earlier when Mnet uploaded a teaser video titled “2026 Coming Soon, We Meet Again” on YouTube. The short clip included the phrase “we GO again,” a message widely interpreted as signaling Wanna One’s return to group activities, at least in a special project format.

For longtime fans, the upcoming reality show is expected to deliver authentic interactions, behind-the-scenes moments, and renewed chemistry among the members—elements that defined Wanna One’s original rise to popularity. As one of the most impactful project groups in K-pop history, their reunion carries strong emotional weight and nostalgia.

With Mnet confirming active preparations, Wanna One’s upcoming reality program is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated K-pop variety projects of 2026, offering Wannable a long-awaited chance to see the members together again in a familiar and heartfelt setting.
