Wanna One reunites for 'KCON LA 2026,' marking first global stage since disbandment

Wanna One is set to reunite with fans on the global stage as part of its expanding reunion activities.

According to multiple industry sources on June 5, Wanna One will perform at 'KCON LA 2026,' scheduled to take place from August 14 to 16 at Crypto.com Arena and the Los Angeles Convention Center. The event will mark the group's first major appearance before international fans since its official disbandment, drawing significant attention from both the industry and fans worldwide.

Earlier this year, Wanna One officially announced its reunion and signaled the resumption of group activities through Mnet's reality program 'WANNA ONE GO: Back to Base.' The show highlighted the members' enduring chemistry and close friendship, generating a positive response from viewers who had long awaited the group's return.

During the final episode of 'WANNA ONE GO: Back to Base,' which aired on June 2, member Ha Sung Woon hinted at a new chapter for the group, saying, “Perhaps the reason we gathered here again is because it's time for a new beginning.”

Following the conclusion of the program, Wanna One confirmed its participation in 'KCON LA 2026.' The upcoming performance is expected to serve as the group's first official global stage since the broadcast and provide long-awaited reunion moments for fans who have supported the group throughout the years.

Wanna One was formed through Mnet's survival program 'Produce 101 Season 2' in 2017. During its one-and-a-half-year promotional period, the group achieved remarkable commercial success, consistently topping music and album charts and becoming one of the most influential K-pop acts of its generation.

Since officially disbanding in 2019, the members have continued to pursue successful careers across various fields, including solo music, group activities, and acting. Their upcoming reunion stage at 'KCON LA 2026' is expected to rekindle excitement among fans and further demonstrate the group's lasting popularity and influence in the K-pop industry.
