They were THE most legendary group to ever come from a production/survival type show, their popularity was insane I just remember how emotional it was when they had to disband😭 sooo talented and they meshed so well :(
@@soph6539with the groups that debut in mnet survival shows usually they would only promote for a set amount of time. i.o.i & wanna one went on for about a year, iz*one for around 2 years, x1 was unfortunately disbanded early due to a scandal, and currently kep1er & zb1 are still promoting (though kep1er will be disbanding july this year while zb1 still have until january 2026) i think they disband because the members in these groups come from different companies. some of these companies probably refuse to renew their contracts so the groups have no choice but to disband ig
@@soph6539Bc they were a temporary project group from a survival show with members from different companies like IOI, izone, X1, Kep1er, and zerobaseone
Wanna One basically owned Korea from debut to disbandment. All their songs were hits. All the members were so damn popular (Kang Daniel is still one of the most popular solo singers in Korea) and they were on all the big variety shows in Korea. Everybody wanted a piece of them! They were only active for like two years (the group was temporary because it was from a survival show), but over these two years they won 49 awards and 49 first places on music shows. I think it's kind of hard to understand how popular they were if you didn't experience it, but it was absolutely insane.
This is the group that got me into Kpop they were amazing!! Another song that I would recommend is "Beautiful" I literally still love this song to this day
wanna one was HUGEEEE the most successful pd101 group alongside izone, and the members still gather and do stuff to this day, they are truly a family! now you should really really check out park jihoon and ha sungwoon's music, they have my favorite discography out of the group and is really worth it!
11:32 was jaehwan!! He was the guy who was an independent trainee.. and can you imagine a guy with a voice like that being an independent trainee it was a given he had to be in the group with THAT voice!😍
NOOOOOOO WHY AM I SO EMOTIONAL?? I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE REACT TO WANNA ONE AGAIN AFTER A VERY LONG TIME. THEY WERE PHENOMENAL! THIS GROUP DESERVES TO BE BACK. THIS BOUGHT ME BACK TO MY HIGHSCHOOL DAYS WHEN THEY'RE MUSIC SAVES ME. ALTHOUGH THEY ALREADY HAVE SOME SOLO PROJECTS AND SOME DEBUTED ON ANOTHER GOOD GROUP, I CAN'T HELP BUT WISH SOMETIMES THAT THE 11 OF THEM WILL BE BACK TOGETHER, SING TOGETHER AND BE ONE AGAIN. EVEN FOR A DAY 😭 Honestly, I'm still waiting for a spring where they'll comeback as WannaOne
Everytime i hear energetic i can't stop thinking ab how Hui produced it and it shows, it screams a hui produced song... and how aamazing is that they could sing perfeclty in the key hui and pentagon sing. They were truly remarkable, the entertainment really lost an amazing group, i am glad most of them could still be succesful after the separation
During wannaone's career they were really popular be it album sales and charts they were on par with EXO and bts when they were still active it's a shame that they had a limited time together wannaone is my my fave group along with exo
The vocalist you asked about in Energetic during the chorus at the beginning was Ong Seongwoo and omg I love him so much his voice is so beautiful! I a billion percent recommended listening to his song Gravity I promise you it is one of the best songs ever!!!!!
i still think that wanna one is the best thing that ever exist in kpop, they were phenomenal, and i know i will always be a wannable, forever. thank you for reacting i really am appreciate it.
idk if you're familiar with pentagon but their leader hui produced "energetic" and wrote it alongside his team member wooseok! as a pentagon fan that was how i first heard about wanna one and i got literal chills listening to that song. i became a fan instantly and i just miss the group so much they had insane star power... even as soloists/actors the ex w1 boys have built solid resumes for themselves. they're amazing!

The one you always praise about the Voice is Ong Seongwu. He’s now focused as an Actor. He’s really multitalented king, he got visuals, good & stable voice, dancing king, also humorous vibes from him. His passion in acting is also so wow, his performance in debut drama at eighteen & Last drama before enlisted “Strong girl Namsoon” are awesome
The one who you always pointed out at Energetic (chorus part) is Ong Seongwoo, my bias in Wanna One..his voice just ❤❤❤ you can react to his duet with baek jiyoung, there his vocal is so chef kiss 😘
Ong Seongwu’s Voice is REALLY GOOD😭 like he’s so main vocal material. His range of Vocals is so wide, especially when he belting those high notes, it’s just so wow to hear. I miss his voice so much😭💙
Produce 101 season 2 was basically the most popular survival show EVER. Whatever popularity and hype Boys Planet had this year, double that. Wanna One was crazy popular, being a rookie group that shot straight to the top competing against EXO and BTS. It was wild. Minhyun and Jaehwan appeared in Boys Planet as Star Masters as well. Minhyun even hosted the finale.
Wanna One was a big group back then, I remember at awards (MAMA if i'm not mistaken) when Exo L and Army was fight for their idol to win the awards but then it's Wanna One that win the awards. That's a funny moment for me cause I didn't expect even though i'm a Wannable. I remember crying so bad when I saw a clip of their last concert. Goshhh I miss them so bad, can't imagine how successful Wanna One now if they're not disband
Hwang Min Hyun was part of NU'EST, a group with Pledis (you'll know that agency as Seventeen's agency). Four members of NU'EST were on the survival show but only Min Hyun made the final group. When Wanna One disbanded, he returned to NU'EST. By that time, Pledis was bought out by HYBE and NU'EST became fairly successful, winning their first music show trophy. They officially disbanded on their 10th anniversary. Min Hyun remained with HYBE and is now a soloist (as well as a successful actor/brand ambassador/MC/TH-camr). If you followed Boys Planet, he was the first Star Master, which is ironic as you know Hui (who produced Energetic) was infamously a contestant on Boys Planet, going the same route as Min Hyun (Pentagon going nowhere and trying the survival show route). But as everyone well knows, Hui did NOT make ZeroBase1; finally, most of the members of Pentagon just recently (as in THIS WEEK) left Cube but did NOT disband the group, AND they just celebrated their 7th anniversary (Pentagon Forever!!). Man, this industry!
they shoot the whole bridge part of 'BOOMERANG' backwards, like they even pronounced the words of the song backwards!!!! you're definitely not tripping, even the members find to shoot that particular part hard. they have the music video behind for that, if you want to watch and see how amazing they are while doing it 🤩
I can say that WANNA ONE is the MOST SUCCESSFUL group that came from survival (produce) show even tho they only have shorts time to promote as a group. Their song ENERGETIC is still charting ‘till this day never left the chart (top 100/melon chart) since 2017. ❤
I used to be such a big fan of them and was devastated when they disbanded… I left kpop for a long while (until I “casually” watched boys planet and made a mistake again by now stanning another project group zb1…) But so glad to see people still reacting to wanna one 🥲🥲
SPRING BREEZE MAKES ME CRY ALWAYS. Yes, their contract was up. I would love to see you react to the Beautiful movie version and Beautiful Part 3 which is a special that they did last year of all the members coming back together and performing. We were a sobbing mess and was honestly historical.
Brace yourself, RJ, I'm about to write a lot cause I'm in my wannable feels these days and you reacting to them was the cherry on top 😂 Wanna One was HUGE when they debuted, especially in South Korea. Still talked about to this day, actually. The one you kept pointing out during Energetic is Ong Seongwu. Bad news for you (and me, who biased him), this gorgeous voice of his is not very used for singing nowdays, he focus on acting now. He's currently serving in the military and just the other day they had this festival and it was SO GOOD to listen to him sing and seeing him dance again! His debut (and only) album is amazing, title track is Gravity, please check it out! Funny thing that I was also against watching survival shows when Produce 101 was aired, then I listened to their debut and love it, but didn't watch the mv not until 6 months later. Seongwu picked my curiosity and I went to research his name... Ended watching their reality show all night, proceed to watch PD101 and bought a flight ticket to see them in another country in a 3 week span. They are this addicting! There's not much more mvs for you to react tho: Burn it Up (released alongside with Energetic), Beautiful (their 1st comeback, I suggest to watch the movie ver. after watching the prologue film and then the performance ver. too) and I.P.U (I Promise U, pre release from the Boomerang album). I hope you check, even if it's on your own time, some of their reality show (Wanna One GO: Zero Base is the best idol reality ever). Also, I recommend checking the other members music (Sungwoon, Jihoon and Jaehwan are my favorites). Oh my god, I'm sorry for writing so much, I usually rarely comment on TH-cam, but I just love and miss them so much! 🥺
to explain a little more about Produce 101, basically its a survival show that usually consists of 101 people fighting for their chance to debut through a bunch of different performances and challenges, then the fans vote for their favorites and the contestants with the most votes win. or at least.. thats how it should be but unfortunately these shows are usually rigged, meaning that the producers basically already chose the lineup from the start. rigging doesn’t necessarily mean that you rig someone out or in, it can also be in the form of evil editing/angel editing. still, the lineups usually end up being really good anyways but of course not everyone can be satisfied all the time. due to these rigging scandals though, X1 had to disband after only releasing their debut EP/mini album with a few months of promotion instead of their actual contract which was supposed to last for 5 years (which is a lot longer than usual survival show contracts). IZ*ONE who were also promoting at the same time as X1 were not affected in the same way by the scandal since they were already more than a year into their career at that point. In chronological order the survival shows go: Produce 101 (created I.O.I) , Produce 101 season 2 (created WannaOne), Produce 48 (created IZ*ONE), ProduceX101 (created X1), Girls Planet 999 (created Kep1er) and lastly and most recently Boys Planet which created ZEROBASEONE. About the contracts; usual kpop contracts last for 7 years before the group can decide if they want to renew their contracts and continue being in the group or not or if they want to leave the company. But survival show groups have much shorter contracts, more recently they have extended to 2 years and 6 (?) months i believe. But I.O.I for example, their contract only lasted for one year.
they were my first kpop group EVER and this video came across my feeds so i was like "ok, let's have some flashback". i thought i was gonna be fine since many years have passed but no, i cried so hard as soon as spring breeze started to play. it's just crazy how much impact they had on me (and everyone atp) with only 1.5 years group activities. however, thank you for reacting to them. it brings a lot of memories back and made me realize that they are still my #1 group even untill this very second
I always go back to Wanna One, they were such a powerhouse. I still miss them to this day. I loved your reaction! The low vocals you mentionned at 12:30 were Daniel's.
Right from the very start of the vid, when you said you like ong seongwoo's voice I was like Same, same 😌 cuz he's my bias. and then you said you like Jihoon too I was like- He's my bias wrecker since the very start of the survival show- (I love both of them so much and their dramas too 😭✨) And then when "Light" came up- I was like "Awww my favorite song from the whole Wannaone albums is here" And you said you like that song- lmfao 🤣 I just can't stop smiling loll, just how much "same-same" have I said throughout mewatchingthisvideo
Fyi CIX's Seunghun and BX, Treasure's Junkyu, Hyunsuk, Doyoung and Yedam covered Energetic when they were a trainee (it's on youtube) :) I love love love Energetic, it's a really good song even until now.
I recommend you to listen to their another songs: Beautiful (first comeback), I Promise You (same release as Boomerang), and Beautiful Part 3 (their reunion song after 3 years of disbandment)
28:34 ong seongwu, he’s an actor! I’ve only watched him on moment at 18 (not sure abt the actual title in english) with astro’s moobin! And yes hes the one u pointed out in energetic (center for the chorus)
If you really like Ong's voice, he has 3 solo music videos you can check out, Heart Sign, We Belong, and Gravity (he is/was my bias so I always gotta promote him lol)
Spring Breeze always makes me tear up. Every freaking time. Even 5 years later. This group was just MONUMENTAL in terms of fame during their run. It's an absolute shame they were on contracted time, because honestly, if they were still together today, I think they'd be the top group. I really do. I love that Minhyun went back to NU'EST and Sungwoon back to Hotshot but both those groups disbanded so....their discography is fire. I definitely recommend doing album listens for sure. There's not too many more MVs for you to react to so you could probably do just one more MV reaction. When you get to Beautiful though, I do recommend reacting to the prologue, the MV version, and the dance performance version. Favorite songs with MVs are I.P.U, Beautiful, Energetic, Wanna Be (My Baby), and Spring Breeze for me. There are way too many b-sides that I love for me to choose favorites. I think I love all but like 3 or 4. And I still enjoy those odd ones out, they're just not my favorite. Anyway I'll end this long paragraph here. I don't think I've ever gotten over their disbandment (even though I knew it was coming) so I ramble about them a lot when they come up lol.
wanna one is goated. btw, the part you're confused in Boomerang was made by singing the song in reverse to match when it's played in reverse 😂 the similar style was done by another group i stanned, VIXX's gr8u
32:16 groups who debut from the Produce series have a time limit to promote just like izone, Kep1er ... and if I'm not mistaking wanna one extend their disband a little bit from the contract but I'm not too sure about this last information 😅
What got me into this group was the fandom. I was so amazed by how passionate they were for a short temporary group. I fell in love and honestly I still cry sometimes because I miss them all together like this. I hate and love stanning produce groups, I knew the heartbreak would kill me but I did it again and again (don't get me started on IZ*One, I'm still recovering).
watching this is making me so nostalgic, i have so much love for wanna one!! this also made me think about zb1 and the future bc it's crazy to think back to energetic being released and where they all ended up now..why do i keep doing this to myself lmao
Thanks RJ. With your video, recalling my happiest and saddened moments, both with tears since their funny interactions and disbandment, they all bring me sweet bitter memories. Only #WANNAONE brings me such an amazing experience that I have been a K-pop fan, Wannable.
This video is making me so emotional 🥺😭 I will miss Wanna One forever For Boomerang they learned the lyrics in reserve so the mouths would match the song when they play the scene in reverse. CRAZY!
OMG... I can't... watching this make me miss them😢 that was such a good era... the memories flooding... ah... if you have time, please try reacting to their varshow WannaOne GO! and WannaOne Zero Base, you'll find that they're such a bunch of dork
usually groups from survival shows have a set time before they disband, they know when they'll have to disband from the start i really miss wanna one and the group was amazing i'm still thankful for all their carreers now, even in 2023 they still kill it!!
I like ‘Light’ also and after this song has released, I can’t help saying ‘do you feel the same’ without a melody 😅😅😅 If you don’t feel like to watch the whole series of product 101, I recommend you to at least check their audition moments.
The produce series is the one which provided us with I.O.I (that featured Somi and Chung Ha among others), Wanna One, IZ*ONE and X1, all of them are legendary, but for me Wanna One was the best of them, and yes they had an expiration date which indeed was december 2018, some of them already were in groups and their companies pressured for their return, it was sad, but they've made a comeback during MAMA 2021, the only songs missing are I.P.U (I Promise You), Beautiful (that has a story version as well, super recommend it), and Burn it Up (was released alongside Energetic) And i would ABSOLUTELY recommend Ha Sungwoon (Jimin's alike), i'd suggest Electrified, Get Ready, Forbidden Island and Strawberry Gum
I got into Wanna One a bit before they had to disband and omg their disbandment was heart wrenching, hurt alot more seeing the like disbandment concert(?) they did. They were an amazing group and I miss them BUT I actually believe they shine more in their new groups or where they are at rn. Unfortunately I feel like alot of Wannables didn't actually follow them after disbandment bc Wanna One was huge yet after disbandment some of them I don't see fans of any more.
Hui was one of the producers of Energetic alongside with Wooseok. They're both members of the group PENTAGON (Cube Ent.). It will be fun if you try to discover their discographies, you will not be disappointed. Their songs are a gem, and they are a self-produced group full of talented people (producer, choreographer, comedian, mwo~ name it all). I will wait for this moment. 'Burn It Up' came out together with Energetic, too. 'Beautiful' was my all time favorite. Edit: I commented first before watching. The way he said Sungwoon is tiny noooo hahahhaha and yes he is my bias and Jimin and I always giggle when someone talks about their friendship
i miss this era so much. wanna one shot to fame and were bts/exo level even though the group was brand new and temporary. really wish they had renewed them somehow but i know they couldn't. they made great songs too. spring breez was sOOO sad and the way they made them say bye at their last concert was so painful lol. and i feel you about getting into groups late! if it helps the time FLEW by so quick.. i regret being a casual fan for most of it. by the time i got super into them it was time to say bye 🥲
I can appreciate them in retrospect. I didn't watch the show when it aired and just mildly paid attention to their releases since I didn't want to get attached to a project group at the time knowing they will end. As a Nu'est fan I just checked in on Minhyun. Now after their disbandment I have gotten into some of the other members. The first two seasons of Produce had shorter contracts than what IZ*ONE and X1 got and then what Girls Planet/Boys Planet get since that's just Produce rebranded name after the scandal.
I feel so nostalgic and sentimental rewatching all these WannaOne MVs with you 🥲 WannaOne was my fave group before Seventeen and even if the members may be promoting separately now, I feel like their music and performances will always be remembered. Sorry, i might compare WannaOne and Seventeen a lot cause for me these 2 groups share several similarities: tight bond among members, amazing choreos, stable live vocals, comedian wannabes (aka their image as idols simply thrown out the window 😂) Just in case you're interested, one of their main vocals, Ha Sungwoon who has been promoting as a solo artist after WannaOne, just made a comeback after finishing his military duty 😊 please do check out his new album BLESSED 😊🙏 thank you! ❤
those were those glorious days. wanna one was almost as big as bts & exo that time. glad i've attended their world tour, and cried a lot when their contract ended. 😭 my ult kpop group
Hope you can react to their reunion performance in mama 2021 also they have released a song together "beautiful (part 3)" all of them wrote the lyrics ❤
been supporting bae jinyoung since produce101 so i was glad to see you liking him! wanna one is the most successful rookie group thats ever existed, they paved the way basically for streaming culture bcs they set the bar too high. first debut mv in kpop to reach 100 million views, they won 101 awards in just one year (against exo and bts on major award shows such as mama, mga, golden disk award etc), first kpop group to sell 1 million album copies with their debut album, all kill on all music charts with energetic etc… they had discussions about extending their contract but one of the members dropped out, so all 11 boys ganged up together and chose to disband because they said they’re 11 or no one. they have the most beautiful friendship I’ve ever seen in kpop and they even reunited during 2021 mama because of it. They performed a brand new song there, called beautiful part 3! i think you would love it because it was a beautiful gift for the fans who’s been supporting these 11 boys since 7 years back!!
yeah their contract was super short... :') i would love to see you react to wanna one soloists too!! the vocals you pointed out in energetic are ong seongwu (he doesnt have much music released as he has been focusing more on acting after wanna one) and kim jaehwan (going off in the back with the high notes), who has released music more steadily! and yes omg dance practice reaction please!! fun fact for boomerang they learned how to sing it backwards for that scene LMAO... so you werent tripping! boomerang was probably their most disliked tt among fans at the time actually, i personally loved it but i saw quite a few people that didnt so. everyone has their own taste ofc!! the guy in light that you said you liked (the one with the deeper than expected voice) is park jihoon, his songs are suuper good too so please put him on your list for when you have time too!! and yes sungwoon too... oh the list just keeps going HAHA. yeah even after years spring breeze still gets me emotional LMAOO. as a wannable since 2017 i have sobbed many times to that song HAHA. their disbandment was set in time since the beginning so yes they knew and yes it was a goodbye song for us. can't wait for a part 2!!
12:29 Park Jihoon is singing that line!! He looks adorable but his voice is super deep 12:38 Kim Jaehwan's the main vocalist!! His vocals are so freaking good 13:01 Ong seong wu's vocal is insane. its so goodd 14:04 ITS KIM JAEHWAN AGAIIN!! OUR MAIN EVERYTHING
As someone who was a new kpop fan in 2017, this group is so close to my heart. I still remember when Wanna One debuted. I remember thinking it was so cool how one of the members and I have the exact same birthday, down to the year. Memories !
i was never caught up with the members or knew much about them, i was a quite casual listener but i ALWAYS loved their music, and even when they disbanded i felt a little sad. i really recommend burn it up, beautiful, and ipu!! they're my favorite songs

one of the best K-pop songs of all time imo

and has his solo music out!!

damnnn you have a good music taste
Casual listener here and in my opinion, Wanna One is the best produced group in Produce Series
100% agree
I often think about what would’ve happened if they didn’t have to disband because they were HUGE 😢
It's the best feeling when you stan a group from a survival show, not until you suddenly remember that they will eventually part ways sooner 😢😢
Me and ZEROBASEONE right now. And I won’t even get into the hurt I still feel for X1.

They were so legend ....each person was a plus to the grp.
the BEST group ever produced by a survival show, they were the real avengers of kpop✋
This is my first KPop group and make me into KPop. I hope they reunited again and comeback with new full album
Produce 101 season 2 was basically the most popular survival show EVER. Whatever popularity and hype Boys Planet had this year, double that. Wanna One was crazy popular, being a rookie group that shot straight to the top competing against EXO and BTS. It was wild. Minhyun and Jaehwan appeared in Boys Planet as Star Masters as well. Minhyun even hosted the finale.
I'd argue there's one point in Kpop History where they were "THE" Boy Group even with BTS and EXO being so popular.
Wanna One was a big group back then, I remember at awards (MAMA if i'm not mistaken) when Exo L and Army was fight for their idol to win the awards but then it's Wanna One that win the awards. That's a funny moment for me cause I didn't expect even though i'm a Wannable. I remember crying so bad when I saw a clip of their last concert.

wannaone is the best ❤
Hwang Min Hyun was part of NU'EST, a group with Pledis (you'll know that agency as Seventeen's agency). Four members of NU'EST were on the survival show but only Min Hyun made the final group. When Wanna One disbanded, he returned to NU'EST. By that time, Pledis was bought out by HYBE and NU'EST became fairly successful, winning their first music show trophy. They officially disbanded on their 10th anniversary. Min Hyun remained with HYBE and is now a soloist (as well as a successful actor/brand ambassador/MC/TH-camr). If you followed Boys Planet, he was the first Star Master, which is ironic as you know Hui (who produced Energetic) was infamously a contestant on Boys Planet, going the same route as Min Hyun (Pentagon going nowhere and trying the survival show route). But as everyone well knows, Hui did NOT make ZeroBase1; finally, most of the members of Pentagon just recently (as in THIS WEEK) left Cube but did NOT disband the group, AND they just celebrated their 7th anniversary (Pentagon Forever!!). Man, this industry!
Ong Seong-wu 10:36 He is an incredible singer and actor !❤
I’m having a mini throwback watching this.. I’ve missed them so much :( Thank you for reacting to wanna one and making me reminisce the memories!
they shoot the whole bridge part of 'BOOMERANG' backwards, like they even pronounced the words of the song backwards!!!! you're definitely not tripping, even the members find to shoot that particular part hard. they have the music video behind for that, if you want to watch and see how amazing they are while doing it 🤩
I can say that WANNA ONE is the MOST SUCCESSFUL group that came from survival (produce) show even tho they only have shorts time to promote as a group. Their song ENERGETIC is still charting ‘till this day never left the chart (top 100/melon chart) since 2017. ❤
Can you watch wanna one beautiful Movie ver next
Wanna one variety shows are so fun to watch too, they're hilarious 😂
I used to be such a big fan of them and was devastated when they disbanded… I left kpop for a long while (until I “casually” watched boys planet and made a mistake again by now stanning another project group zb1…)
But so glad to see people still reacting to wanna one 🥲🥲
Ahh Wanna One ❤❤
And Ong Seong wu’s voice being praised is everything 🥺❤️
SPRING BREEZE MAKES ME CRY ALWAYS. Yes, their contract was up.
I would love to see you react to the Beautiful movie version and Beautiful Part 3 which is a special that they did last year of all the members coming back together and performing. We were a sobbing mess and was honestly historical.
the fact that I watched their mama 2021 reunion and cried like a baby TT I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
I never knew that i miss them so much 😭
Brace yourself, RJ, I'm about to write a lot cause I'm in my wannable feels these days and you reacting to them was the cherry on top 😂
Wanna One was HUGE when they debuted, especially in South Korea. Still talked about to this day, actually. The one you kept pointing out during Energetic is Ong Seongwu. Bad news for you (and me, who biased him), this gorgeous voice of his is not very used for singing nowdays, he focus on acting now. He's currently serving in the military and just the other day they had this festival and it was SO GOOD to listen to him sing and seeing him dance again! His debut (and only) album is amazing, title track is Gravity, please check it out!
Funny thing that I was also against watching survival shows when Produce 101 was aired, then I listened to their debut and love it, but didn't watch the mv not until 6 months later. Seongwu picked my curiosity and I went to research his name... Ended watching their reality show all night, proceed to watch PD101 and bought a flight ticket to see them in another country in a 3 week span. They are this addicting!
There's not much more mvs for you to react tho: Burn it Up (released alongside with Energetic), Beautiful (their 1st comeback, I suggest to watch the movie ver. after watching the prologue film and then the performance ver. too) and I.P.U (I Promise U, pre release from the Boomerang album). I hope you check, even if it's on your own time, some of their reality show (Wanna One GO: Zero Base is the best idol reality ever). Also, I recommend checking the other members music (Sungwoon, Jihoon and Jaehwan are my favorites).
Oh my god, I'm sorry for writing so much, I usually rarely comment on TH-cam, but I just love and miss them so much! 🥺
Awww ❤
The guy the you like on the chorus is ong seongwoo he is now an actor, he has very good kdramas, and he is very gorgeous
to explain a little more about Produce 101, basically its a survival show that usually consists of 101 people fighting for their chance to debut through a bunch of different performances and challenges, then the fans vote for their favorites and the contestants with the most votes win. or at least.. thats how it should be but unfortunately these shows are usually rigged, meaning that the producers basically already chose the lineup from the start. rigging doesn’t necessarily mean that you rig someone out or in, it can also be in the form of evil editing/angel editing. still, the lineups usually end up being really good anyways but of course not everyone can be satisfied all the time. due to these rigging scandals though, X1 had to disband after only releasing their debut EP/mini album with a few months of promotion instead of their actual contract which was supposed to last for 5 years (which is a lot longer than usual survival show contracts). IZ*ONE who were also promoting at the same time as X1 were not affected in the same way by the scandal since they were already more than a year into their career at that point.
In chronological order the survival shows go: Produce 101 (created I.O.I) , Produce 101 season 2 (created WannaOne), Produce 48 (created IZ*ONE), ProduceX101 (created X1), Girls Planet 999 (created Kep1er) and lastly and most recently Boys Planet which created ZEROBASEONE.
About the contracts; usual kpop contracts last for 7 years before the group can decide if they want to renew their contracts and continue being in the group or not or if they want to leave the company. But survival show groups have much shorter contracts, more recently they have extended to 2 years and 6 (?) months i believe. But I.O.I for example, their contract only lasted for one year.
they were my first kpop group EVER and this video came across my feeds so i was like "ok, let's have some flashback". i thought i was gonna be fine since many years have passed but no, i cried so hard as soon as spring breeze started to play. it's just crazy how much impact they had on me (and everyone atp) with only 1.5 years group activities.
however, thank you for reacting to them. it brings a lot of memories back and made me realize that they are still my #1 group even untill this very second
🥺❤️
I always go back to Wanna One, they were such a powerhouse. I still miss them to this day.
I loved your reaction!
The low vocals you mentionned at 12:30 were Daniel's.
I thought i was over it by now but again here i am crying while hearing spring breeze
Right from the very start of the vid, when you said you like ong seongwoo's voice I was like Same, same 😌 cuz he's my bias. and then you said you like Jihoon too I was like- He's my bias wrecker since the very start of the survival show- (I love both of them so much and their dramas too 😭✨) And then when "Light" came up- I was like "Awww my favorite song from the whole Wannaone albums is here" And you said you like that song- lmfao 🤣 I just can't stop smiling loll, just how much "same-same" have I said throughout mewatchingthisvideo
Fyi CIX's Seunghun and BX, Treasure's Junkyu, Hyunsuk, Doyoung and Yedam covered Energetic when they were a trainee (it's on youtube) :) I love love love Energetic, it's a really good song even until now.
I hope he watch it too
I recommend you to listen to their another songs: Beautiful (first comeback), I Promise You (same release as Boomerang), and Beautiful Part 3 (their reunion song after 3 years of disbandment)
28:34 ong seongwu, he’s an actor! I’ve only watched him on moment at 18 (not sure abt the actual title in english) with astro’s moobin! And yes hes the one u pointed out in energetic (center for the chorus)
You definitely need to check out some of their performance videos. Try one of the special stages with multiple songs.
Whenever i see their last concert, i cry. Their last speeches are so sad, specially when they get out of the stage one by one
If you really like Ong's voice, he has 3 solo music videos you can check out, Heart Sign, We Belong, and Gravity (he is/was my bias so I always gotta promote him lol)
Spring Breeze always makes me tear up. Every freaking time. Even 5 years later. This group was just MONUMENTAL in terms of fame during their run. It's an absolute shame they were on contracted time, because honestly, if they were still together today, I think they'd be the top group. I really do. I love that Minhyun went back to NU'EST and Sungwoon back to Hotshot but both those groups disbanded so....their discography is fire. I definitely recommend doing album listens for sure. There's not too many more MVs for you to react to so you could probably do just one more MV reaction. When you get to Beautiful though, I do recommend reacting to the prologue, the MV version, and the dance performance version. Favorite songs with MVs are I.P.U, Beautiful, Energetic, Wanna Be (My Baby), and Spring Breeze for me. There are way too many b-sides that I love for me to choose favorites. I think I love all but like 3 or 4. And I still enjoy those odd ones out, they're just not my favorite. Anyway I'll end this long paragraph here. I don't think I've ever gotten over their disbandment (even though I knew it was coming) so I ramble about them a lot when they come up lol.
wanna one is goated.
btw, the part you're confused in Boomerang was made by singing the song in reverse to match when it's played in reverse 😂 the similar style was done by another group i stanned, VIXX's gr8u
Para mi enegetic ha sido la mejor canción debut de un grupo de kpop y nadie me lo quitara de la cabeza
You should check out their song "Beautiful", literally that's their best song for me
32:16 groups who debut from the Produce series have a time limit to promote just like izone, Kep1er ... and if I'm not mistaking wanna one extend their disband a little bit from the contract but I'm not too sure about this last information 😅
Man I miss them so much
i'm crying😭😭i'm a wannable and i saw many your reactions, and now you react wannaone:))))))), it's a long time i saw w1 so i really really 🤧🤧🤧🤧
😭 i really miss wannaone the one of the boy group that contains all of the very perfect member.
12:33 the lower voice is Kang Daniel
12:46 is Ong Seong Wu
What got me into this group was the fandom. I was so amazed by how passionate they were for a short temporary group. I fell in love and honestly I still cry sometimes because I miss them all together like this. I hate and love stanning produce groups, I knew the heartbreak would kill me but I did it again and again (don't get me started on IZ*One, I'm still recovering).
watching this is making me so nostalgic, i have so much love for wanna one!! this also made me think about zb1 and the future bc it's crazy to think back to energetic being released and where they all ended up now..why do i keep doing this to myself lmao
plssss more of wannaone, i miss those times 🥹
to this day i still think energetic is THE kpop song. to me, no other song will ever feel so kpop like energetic...crazy ass song produced by hui!!
Thanks RJ. With your video, recalling my happiest and saddened moments, both with tears since their funny interactions and disbandment, they all bring me sweet bitter memories.
Only #WANNAONE brings me such an amazing experience that I have been a K-pop fan, Wannable.
This video is making me so emotional 🥺😭 I will miss Wanna One forever
For Boomerang they learned the lyrics in reserve so the mouths would match the song when they play the scene in reverse. CRAZY!
😭😭😭 I can’t believe 😭😭 thank you for reaction Wanna one 😭😭🤍🤍🙏🏻🥹
They were so big before and the chemistry between the members. Its so bad that they were temporary group
I used to be Wannable and I loved your video
i hope you check wanna one's Beautiful, Beautiful Part 2 and Beautiful Part 3 (MAMA ver.) in one video
OMG... I can't... watching this make me miss them😢 that was such a good era... the memories flooding... ah...
if you have time, please try reacting to their varshow WannaOne GO! and WannaOne Zero Base, you'll find that they're such a bunch of dork
They are the reason why I started listening to KPOP music
I wanna recommend another group from pd101 S2: JBJ, they are also amazing
Next for wannaone, i would recommend i promis you, wanna be my baby and beautiful
usually groups from survival shows have a set time before they disband, they know when they'll have to disband from the start
i really miss wanna one and the group was amazing
i'm still thankful for all their carreers now, even in 2023 they still kill it!!
I like ‘Light’ also and after this song has released, I can’t help saying ‘do you feel the same’ without a melody 😅😅😅
If you don’t feel like to watch the whole series of product 101, I recommend you to at least check their audition moments.
NOOOOOO, I MISS THEM SO MUCH HUHUHUHU MY WANNA ONE BABIES
The produce series is the one which provided us with I.O.I (that featured Somi and Chung Ha among others), Wanna One, IZ*ONE and X1, all of them are legendary, but for me Wanna One was the best of them, and yes they had an expiration date which indeed was december 2018, some of them already were in groups and their companies pressured for their return, it was sad, but they've made a comeback during MAMA 2021, the only songs missing are I.P.U (I Promise You), Beautiful (that has a story version as well, super recommend it), and Burn it Up (was released alongside Energetic)
And i would ABSOLUTELY recommend Ha Sungwoon (Jimin's alike), i'd suggest Electrified, Get Ready, Forbidden Island and Strawberry Gum
I got into Wanna One a bit before they had to disband and omg their disbandment was heart wrenching, hurt alot more seeing the like disbandment concert(?) they did. They were an amazing group and I miss them BUT I actually believe they shine more in their new groups or where they are at rn. Unfortunately I feel like alot of Wannables didn't actually follow them after disbandment bc Wanna One was huge yet after disbandment some of them I don't see fans of any more.
Hui was one of the producers of Energetic alongside with Wooseok. They're both members of the group PENTAGON (Cube Ent.). It will be fun if you try to discover their discographies, you will not be disappointed. Their songs are a gem, and they are a self-produced group full of talented people (producer, choreographer, comedian, mwo~ name it all). I will wait for this moment.
'Burn It Up' came out together with Energetic, too. 'Beautiful' was my all time favorite.
Edit: I commented first before watching. The way he said Sungwoon is tiny noooo hahahhaha and yes he is my bias and Jimin and I always giggle when someone talks about their friendship
Energetic is phenomenal 😍
i miss this era so much. wanna one shot to fame and were bts/exo level even though the group was brand new and temporary. really wish they had renewed them somehow but i know they couldn't. they made great songs too. spring breez was sOOO sad and the way they made them say bye at their last concert was so painful lol. and i feel you about getting into groups late! if it helps the time FLEW by so quick.. i regret being a casual fan for most of it. by the time i got super into them it was time to say bye 🥲
I can appreciate them in retrospect. I didn't watch the show when it aired and just mildly paid attention to their releases since I didn't want to get attached to a project group at the time knowing they will end. As a Nu'est fan I just checked in on Minhyun. Now after their disbandment I have gotten into some of the other members. The first two seasons of Produce had shorter contracts than what IZ*ONE and X1 got and then what Girls Planet/Boys Planet get since that's just Produce rebranded name after the scandal.
Spring breeze always gets me so emotional, I miss them so much:
I feel so nostalgic and sentimental rewatching all these WannaOne MVs with you 🥲 WannaOne was my fave group before Seventeen and even if the members may be promoting separately now, I feel like their music and performances will always be remembered. Sorry, i might compare WannaOne and Seventeen a lot cause for me these 2 groups share several similarities: tight bond among members, amazing choreos, stable live vocals, comedian wannabes (aka their image as idols simply thrown out the window 😂)
Just in case you're interested, one of their main vocals, Ha Sungwoon who has been promoting as a solo artist after WannaOne, just made a comeback after finishing his military duty 😊 please do check out his new album BLESSED 😊🙏 thank you! ❤
those were those glorious days. wanna one was almost as big as bts & exo that time. glad i've attended their world tour, and cried a lot when their contract ended. 😭 my ult kpop group
Hope you can react to their reunion performance in mama 2021 also they have released a song together "beautiful (part 3)" all of them wrote the lyrics ❤
been supporting bae jinyoung since produce101 so i was glad to see you liking him! wanna one is the most successful rookie group thats ever existed, they paved the way basically for streaming culture bcs they set the bar too high. first debut mv in kpop to reach 100 million views, they won 101 awards in just one year (against exo and bts on major award shows such as mama, mga, golden disk award etc), first kpop group to sell 1 million album copies with their debut album, all kill on all music charts with energetic etc…
they had discussions about extending their contract but one of the members dropped out, so all 11 boys ganged up together and chose to disband because they said they’re 11 or no one. they have the most beautiful friendship I’ve ever seen in kpop and they even reunited during 2021 mama because of it. They performed a brand new song there, called beautiful part 3! i think you would love it because it was a beautiful gift for the fans who’s been supporting these 11 boys since 7 years back!!
my heart hurts when i suddenly saw spring breeze after a long time and was trying not to cry. 😭
Energetic is one of the best debuts in Kpop to date. They were very good together
yeah their contract was super short... :')
i would love to see you react to wanna one soloists too!! the vocals you pointed out in energetic are ong seongwu (he doesnt have much music released as he has been focusing more on acting after wanna one) and kim jaehwan (going off in the back with the high notes), who has released music more steadily! and yes omg dance practice reaction please!!
fun fact for boomerang they learned how to sing it backwards for that scene LMAO... so you werent tripping! boomerang was probably their most disliked tt among fans at the time actually, i personally loved it but i saw quite a few people that didnt so. everyone has their own taste ofc!!
the guy in light that you said you liked (the one with the deeper than expected voice) is park jihoon, his songs are suuper good too so please put him on your list for when you have time too!! and yes sungwoon too... oh the list just keeps going HAHA.
yeah even after years spring breeze still gets me emotional LMAOO. as a wannable since 2017 i have sobbed many times to that song HAHA. their disbandment was set in time since the beginning so yes they knew and yes it was a goodbye song for us.
can't wait for a part 2!!
Thank you so much for this precious reaction❤
if i remember right, they said that for that shot in boomerang they memorized the lyrics backwards haha
looks sick actually
NOOOOOOO I'M CRYINGGGGG THIS BRINGS BACK SO MUCH MEMORIES HUAA...THOSE BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS JUST CAME INTO MY MIND AGAIN..
12:29 Park Jihoon is singing that line!! He looks adorable but his voice is super deep
12:38 Kim Jaehwan's the main vocalist!! His vocals are so freaking good
13:01 Ong seong wu's vocal is insane. its so goodd
14:04 ITS KIM JAEHWAN AGAIIN!! OUR MAIN EVERYTHING
As someone who was a new kpop fan in 2017, this group is so close to my heart. I still remember when Wanna One debuted. I remember thinking it was so cool how one of the members and I have the exact same birthday, down to the year. Memories !
i was never caught up with the members or knew much about them, i was a quite casual listener but i ALWAYS loved their music, and even when they disbanded i felt a little sad. i really recommend burn it up, beautiful, and ipu!! they're my favorite songs
you also have to react wannaone beautiful, that song is very beautiful and nice to listen to
