KPOP DISCOVER's Wanna One note
What holds Wanna One together is that it was a limited-term project born out of Produce 101 Season 2. The 11 picked by the 2017 show debuted with Energetic as an 11-piece built around Kang Daniel at centre, with vocal, rap, dance and acting-type members in place, and their strength was a balance complete enough to sweep the K-pop market in a short span.
The ways in are Energetic, Beautiful, Boomerang, Light and Spring Breeze. Bright energy through to the ache of parting arrives over a short stretch, and the run of album titles written as equations stands for how much of this was conceived as a project.
Activity ended with the January 2019 concert, and the members went on to solo work, acting, AB6IX, CIX, NU'EST and more. A reunion stage with 10 taking part followed in 2021, and a reunion song credited as B-Side in 2022. Taking Energetic, then Beautiful, then Spring Breeze covers the fever of the debut, the spread of the popularity and the feeling of the final chapter.
Editors' take Energetic / Beautiful / Spring Breeze — three songs carry a limited-term project out of Produce 101 Season 2, from an 11-piece formed on a TV show.
