The Wanna One Reunion is finally becoming real on screen through WANNA ONE GO : Back to Base, a new reality program built around the members coming together again after seven years. For fans who have waited to see them share time, memories, and easy chemistry in one place, this return is not being framed as a loud comeback spectacle. It is being presented as a chance to watch Wanna One begin a new story from a familiar emotional starting point.
Wanna One Reunion Begins at WANNA-BASE
WANNA ONE GO : Back to Base is scheduled to be released first on Mnet Plus at 6 p.m. on April 28, 2026, and then broadcast on Mnet at 8 p.m. the same day. The program is described as original content in which Wanna One gathers again seven years later at a place called WANNA-BASE, spending time together and opening a new chapter.
That setup matters because it gives the reunion a relaxed, reality-show shape. Rather than simply announcing that the members are back in the same frame, the show centers on what happens when they have space to talk, react, laugh, and reconnect. The focus is on natural moments and teamwork, according to the production direction that has been shared ahead of the premiere.
Before the main episode, a B-Side video released on April 21, 2026, showed the members’ first meeting after seven years. The clip included the appearance of Kang Daniel and Lai Kuanlin, adding even more attention around the reunion. After that preview was released, related keywords appeared on real-time trends on X, showing how quickly fans responded to the first visible signs of the group together again.
From the Opening Ceremony to the First Broadcast
The reunion also reached fans in person before the program premiere. On April 6, 2026, an opening ceremony for WANNA ONE GO : Back to Base was held at DMC Culture Park in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Park Jihoon, Lee Daehwi, Kim Jaehwan, Ong Seongwu, Park Woojin, Yoon Jisung, Hwang Minhyun, Bae Jinyoung, and Ha Sungwoon attended the event and met fans there.
That setting gave the project a meaningful public start. The ceremony took place before the April 28 release, turning the program into more than a surprise drop. It gave Wannables a moment to gather around the reunion in advance and made the return feel shared, not hidden behind the screen until premiere day.
The project was first officially announced on April 1, 2026, when the April 28 release date was revealed. At that time, the opening ceremony was also announced, making the rollout clear: first the official program news, then the in-person fan event, then the B-Side preview, and finally the full release on Mnet Plus and Mnet.
For anyone following the schedule, the key date is simple: April 28, 2026. The first release is at 6 p.m. on Mnet Plus, followed by the 8 p.m. Mnet broadcast. That two-step release gives viewers a clear way to watch the reunion as soon as it arrives, while also placing it on television later that evening.
Why This Wanna One Reunion Feels Personal
Ahead of the premiere, the members shared written interview thoughts about reuniting and filming together. Park Jihoon described the members as consistent, pointing to a feeling that the group’s core character had not changed. Ong Seongwu reflected that it had been difficult to align everyone’s intentions, but that consideration for one another helped make it possible.
Those comments are small, but they say a lot. A seven-year reunion is not something that happens casually. Members have different schedules, different paths, and different circumstances. The fact that the reunion is being described through words like consistency, consideration, naturalness, and teamwork gives the program a warmer emotional frame.
That is also why the title Back to Base works so well. It suggests returning to a place where the group can reset, remember, and reconnect. The program description says the members gather at WANNA-BASE to spend time together and start a new story. Based on the information released so far, the show is not being defined by a competition format or a heavy concept. Its heart is the members themselves.
For longtime fans, that may be the most important part. The excitement is not only about seeing familiar faces in one production again. It is about watching how they respond to one another now, after seven years have passed. The B-Side video already gave a glimpse of that first meeting, and the full program is expected to continue from there with more of their natural interactions.
In the end, WANNA ONE GO : Back to Base brings the Wanna One Reunion into a clear, watchable format: a seven-year gathering, a fan-facing opening ceremony, a first-meeting preview, and a premiere set for April 28, 2026. For Wannables, it is a return to a beloved base, and for the members, it is the beginning of a new story together.
