The group debuted on August 7, 2017 and will be promoting until December 2018 under Swing Entertainment and CJ E&M.
History
Pre-debut: Produce 101 Season 2
Wanna One was formed through the 'survival' competition series Produce 101 Season 2, which aired on Mnet from April 7 until June 16, 2017. Out of an initial 101 trainees representing various agencies, the final 11 were chosen by audience voting and announced via live television broadcast.[2]
Before appearing on the program, several members had already been active in the entertainment industry. Park Ji-hoon was a child actor and had appeared on drama series such as Kimchi Cheese Smile and The King & I.[3] He had also made appearances on several variety shows alongside the boy bands BIGBANG and SS501.[4] In 2012, Hwang Min-hyun made his musical debut as a member of the group NU'EST. Kim Jae-hwan made his first appearance on season 2 of Korea's Got Talent but was eliminated during the semi-final. In 2014, Ha Sung-woon had previously debuted as a member of the group Hotshot.
2017: Debut with 1X1=1 (To Be One) and 1-1=0 (Nothing Without You)
Wanna One signed with YMC Entertainment (who previously managed season one's winning group I.O.I).[5] Unlike I.O.I, however, Wanna One members will not be permitted to participate in other activities with their original agencies.[6]
The group participated in a final concert that took place on July 1 and 2, 2017 at Olympic Hall in Seoul to mark the end of Produce 101 Season 2.[7][6] Wanna One officially debuted at an event titled Wanna One Premier Show-Con that took place at the Gocheok Sky Dome on August 7, 2017.[5][8] The group released their debut extended play 1×1=1 (To Be One) on August 8, 2017, with the title song "Energetic", originally composed by Hui of Pentagon and FlowBlow, with lyrics written by Hui and Wooseok of Pentagon.[9][10][11] Two music videos were released for their debut, for "Energetic" and "Burn It Up".[12]
On November 13, Wanna One released their repackaged album, 1-1=0 (Nothing Without You), with the title track "Beautiful".[13] With the combined sales of their first album and its repackaged edition, Wanna One became the first Kpop group to sell a million copies of their debut album.[14]
2018–present: Golden Age Begins, unit project and world tour
In February, Wanna One posted a series of teaser images titled 2018 Golden Age Begins.[15] On March 5, Wanna One released their special theme track, "I Promise You (I.P.U.)" along with its music video.[16] It was also announced that the number of preorders for their second extended play, 0+1=1 (I Promise You) has surpassed 700,000 copies, breaking the previous record set by the group.[17] The album was released on March 19, along with the title track "Boomerang".[18]
In April, Wanna One announced that the members will split into multiple units and collaborate with different artists such as Dynamic Duo, Zico, Nell and Heize for their upcoming special album.[19] The album was later revealed to be titled 1÷x=1 (Undivided), which was released on June 4 along with the title track "Light".[20][21]
The group also announced their first world tour, titled "Wanna One World Tour - One: The World", which would span 13 different cities around the world and begin from June 1.[22][23]
Wanna One's contract with YMC Entertainment expired on May 31. Starting from June 1, Wanna One would be managed under Swing Entertainment, a new agency exclusively established for the group. This new arrangement would still maintain the partnership with YMC.[24][25][26]
In the media
The group was recognized for their brand recognition and marketing power,[27][28] having topped 'Boy Group Brand Power Ranking' published by the Korean Corporate Reputation Research Institute for four months;[29][30][31] as well as viewership ratings of the TV shows they appear on.[32][33] In 2017, they ranked second in the 30 "Power People" survey by Ilgan Sports, for their influence among broadcasting companies and advertisers;[34] and sixth in the top 10 artist of Gallup Korea survey.[35] The group was also chosen as Best K-pop Artist of 2017.[36] For their achievements, Wanna One ranked number two on Forbes Korea Power Celebrity list for 2018, a list ranking South Korea's most powerful and influential celebrities.[37]
