Wanna One Unveils Poster for ‘Back to Base’ Reality

Project group Wanna One has unveiled the first official poster for its upcoming reality series, signaling the beginning of a long-awaited group project as the members reunite after several years.

On April 14, global K-pop content platform Mnet Plus released the main poster for WANNA ONE GO: Back to Base, offering an initial look at the concept behind the group’s new reality program.

Poster introduces personalized ‘base’ concept

The poster features all 11 members represented as illustrated characters inside a large house-like structure, with each room reflecting an individual concept tied to the member’s personality.

From Park Jihoon holding a teddy bear to Hwang Minhyun with cleaning tools and Kim Jaehwan surrounded by fitness equipment, the visuals emphasize each member’s distinct traits.

Additional details include Kang Daniel appearing in a relaxed pajama look, highlighting a softer image, while Lai Kuanlin is depicted in a director-like role, suggesting a creative or leadership-oriented concept.

The illustrated format adds a playful tone while also raising curiosity about how these individual “rooms” will translate into real-life settings within the program.

Pre-release content builds anticipation for reunion

Ahead of the official premiere, a pre-release segment titled Back to Base B-Side is scheduled to be released on April 21 through Mnet Plus as well as YouTube and Instagram.

The content will capture the members’ first official gathering in seven years, including a shared meal and candid conversations reflecting on their time apart. The reunion marks a significant moment for both the group and its fanbase, as members have largely focused on individual careers.

Early teasers and opening content have already generated strong online engagement, indicating sustained interest in the group’s return.

Full series set to premiere later this month

Mnet Plus premieres WANNA ONE GO: Back to Base on April 28 at 6 p.m. (KST), and Mnet broadcasts it at 8 p.m. The series documents the group’s dynamic as they reconnect and offers viewers insight into their personal growth and collective identity. As Wanna One resumes activities, audiences focus on how the group reinterprets its chemistry after years apart.
