Legend's return was intense. The group Wanna One reunited with Wannable (fandom name) again in Sangam-dong, where they first met their fans nine years ago, opening a spectacular prelude to a new reality.

Global K-pop content platform Mnet Plus announced that it successfully completed the opening ceremony of Wanna One's new reality "WANNA ONE GO: Back to Base" at 10 a.m. on the 6th at DMC Cultural Park in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

Numerous fans who have been waiting for Wanna One's reunion gathered at the scene on this day, causing hot heat. Nine members (Park Ji-hoon, Lee Dae-hwi, Kim Jae-hwan, Ong Seong-woo, Park Woo-jin, Yoon Ji-sung, Hwang Min-hyun, Bae Jin-young, and Ha Sung-woon) appeared on the blue carpet to communicate closely with fans, and the scene was quickly covered with explosive shouts.

Yoon Ji-sung and Lee Dae-hwi were the MCs of this event, leading the atmosphere with stable progress and witty remarks. The members who took the stage shouting "All I Wanna Do, Wanna One!" were thrilled, and the waiting fans filled the scene with enthusiastic cheers. Many global fans who could not visit the site also watched the live broadcast video on the official Instagram account of "Mnet Plus" to soothe their disappointment.

The members' affection for Kang Daniel and Lai Kwan-rin, who were not able to attend in person, was also added to the scene. Using the prepared life-size band, the members performed a surprise situational play to convey the voices of the two members, saying, "The two friends are also together from afar, so please support them a lot."

The "Ask Anything GO" section, which answers pre-received questions through Mnet Plus, received a particularly hot response. The members revealed the 2026 version of "PICK ME" choreography to boost the heat of the scene, and demonstrated their unwavering sense of entertainment and chemistry by presenting parodies of Park Ji-hoon's famous lines in the recently talked-about movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" and the latest trendy challenge.

At the end of the event, the members delivered a heartfelt message to the fans, delivering their thoughts on meeting again after a long time. Hwang Min-hyun said, "It's been a long time since I called the name Wannable, and it's a new feeling to get together again," adding, "In the past, when Wannable gathers, Wanna One also gathers." Starting today, I hope there will be many good moments together in the future," he said.

Park Woo-jin said, "It's been a long time since the last concert, and I think it will be a more special memory because it's raining," adding, "Thank you for being with me from early morning, and I want to make fun times together in the future." Kim Jae-hwan said, "I sincerely thank you for coming even in inclement weather," and added, "Starting today, I want to walk together looking at eternity." I hope (Wannable) will be with me on that road," he said.

Ha Sung-woon said, "It's been a long time, and it feels like a dream to get together again like this," adding, "Thank you for waiting and supporting me for a long time," and Bae Jin-young said, "I remember a lot of the past, and I have complicated and strange feelings. I will give you more wonderful and diverse memories as you waited."

Park Ji-hoon said, "We are back together because we want to give you new memories and emotions," and added, "We will do our best to make a fun and beautiful time." and Ong Seong-wu said, "I'm very happy to meet Wannable with the members after a long time," and added, "I hope we can meet like this again next time."
