At a press conference, Kang Daniel shared that he is always available for any reunion of his past boy group, Wanna One.
Wanna One was a project boy group that was formed through "Produce 101" Season 2, a survival show that took place back in 2017. The band consisted of 11 members, including Kang Daniel, who served as the main dancer and center. Wanna One is known for their songs "Energetic," "Boomerang," "Beautiful," and more.
Kang Daniel Shares He Would Participate in a Wanna One Reunion
On April 13, Kang Daniel held a press conference at CGV Cheongdam Cine City, Gangnam-gu in Seoul, for his comeback today with his new mini-album "YELLOW." His comeback album will be released later today at 6 p.m. KST.
On this day, the male idol answered questions related to his previous and new albums. He also expressed his longing for his Wanna One members. Kang Daniel shared, "Wanna One is a precious memory for me. Looking back, there were some situations where I lack in skills. So, if ever I get the chance to be with them again, I will show a better image with the other members."

Kang Daniel further stated that he is always open for a Wanna One reunion. Ever since the group disbanded, the members had gone their separate ways and re-debuted as a solo artist or a member of a new boy group. They have been busy with their activities since then, hence, having a reunion was difficult for them. But in case there will be one soon, Wanna One fans can expect Kang Daniel to participate.
In November last year, a Wanna One reunion was proposed by CJ ENM, the label that managed the project boy group. Music officials said that the label included this proposal while planning for the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). In the same month, Mnet announced that Wanna One will not be performing at the 2020 MAMA.
