Hello, fellow Wannables! This is the Wanna One Reunion Tracker. If you have any valuable information (that occurred after the 2021 MAMA Performance), please feel free to add to the list in an orderly manner. Yellow is for general Wanna One-related moments, Red is for anything "negative" that can decrease the chances of a FULL GROUP REUNION, while Green is anything positive that increases the chances of a FULL GROUP REUNION or just even implications that a REUNION might be brewing behind the scenes. On the other hand, if you don't have anything to add or are not fond of this idea, please respect my document nonetheless; do not delete any information or add any irrelevant data. Thank you! - 11thCenturyJoker

Aug. 26, 2024Instragram LiveSungwoon, Jinyoung, DaehwiThe trio sings several Wanna One songs including 12th Star, Beautiful Part 3, Pine Tree, and Flowerbomb. They watched their 2021 MAMA performance and ended up mentioning all the members. The trio also addressed the viewers as "Wannables", one of the few instances since disbandment. They were also boldly mentioning Kuanlin twice in their live, with Sungwoon saying Kuanlin messaged him on KakaoTalk and Daehwi nagging Kuanlin to contact him. So much Wanna One references to mention.There are slight implications that they are not allowed to openly talk about Wanna One post-disbandment, thus the need to drink a bit when they bravely started the livestream to release pent-up frustrations; they even have to restrain themselves from time to time on what they were about to say. Even though Kuanlin announced his "retirement" just months ago, the call-outs to him are evidence that he really is still considered as part of Wanna One by his hyungs, no matter what happens.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o38AZzBa7hg&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD6Kz1UIMEU

July 25, 2025Mdromeda Studio's Youtube Video Episode 7Jisung, Sungwoon, Woojin, Jinyoung, DaehwiSungwoon told Woojin, Jinyoung, and Daehwi to just go and enlist if they aren't doing anything. Jisung quickly quipped that he should start eating less once that happens (implying that he should be physically fit to perform once the three finishes their enlistment). Daehwi jokingly warned Jisung that he would be in trouble if ever he can't perform Energetic in the future. Jisung responds that they should just rearrange everything into a ballad. Woojin ended the playful banter by saying that Jisung should just do his part then step away to the back when he's done.These inside jokes about Energetic (“their” song) show that the group’s shared history is still a running thread in their interactions. Military-related or not, Wanna One banter persists.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMSLOx9VplY

Sept. 22, 2025Super Junior D&E’s YouTube Series “Hey, Come Here” - Jinyoung, Daehwi episodeJinyoung, Daehwi, Sungwoon, KuanlinDaehwi said “we're always talking about it” and answered “100%” when asked about a reunion (then backpedaled a tiny bit). Daehwi and Jinyoung confirmed “everyone’s in the chat". Sungwoon is the one pushing hard for a reunion (per Daehwi), and Sungwoon has repeatedly said he’d definitely do it. Daehwi mapped a realistic window: 2027, which matches their 10th debut anniversary. Daehwi even mentioned Kuanlin's retirement from entertainment, saying that he was shocked when he saw the article since they were supposed to be having a reunion and "this kid went and announced his retirement".The episode reinforced many previous signals in a coherent way: open lines, member willingness, realistic timing, and a production pathway (reality show → album → reunion). It even explicitly discussed the "Kuanlin situation" and since Daehwi talked about it in a humorous manner, there must be an inside joke or secret conversation within the group about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDsIh91nLf8

Dec. 11, 2025Kim Heechul’s Chuka Chuka Chu EP.8 - I Wanna One”Jisung, Sungwoon, Jaehwan, Jinyoung, DaehwiJisung and Jinyoung appeared alongside IOI’s Yeonjung and Yoojung as the special unit “I Wanna One.” During the episode, Jisung and Jinyoung performed Wanna One’s full official greeting slogan with hand gestures, openly discussed dorm life and member dynamics, and repeatedly referenced Wanna One and Wannable without hesitation. When asked about a full reunion, Jinyoung stated that while the exact timing is unknown, he believes the members can reunite when circumstances align. The episode concluded with performances of Oh Little Girl, Energetic, and Nayana, accompanied by a fan slogan event reading “우리 다시 만나 / 약속해요 우리 다시 만나,” and explicit remarks from Heechul expressing his desire to see them reunite as a complete group.This episode significantly strengthens the credibility of ongoing reunion discussions, as it features unredacted use of Wanna One’s official greeting, direct acknowledgment of reunion timing rather than possibility, and explicit encouragement from senior industry figures. While no formal plans were announced, this appearance contributes to a broader pattern of normalization and soft signaling, reinforcing the likelihood of a future reunion project when logistical and contractual conditions permit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUe_Fmjo2CU
