'Beautiful Part 3': Wanna One's MAMA reunion song to release, fans dub it 'big gift'

'Beautiful (Part 2)' was one of the last songs Wanna One performed before disbanding in 2019

Wanna One is set to treat fans once again with the official release ‘Beautiful (Part 3)' on January 27, 2022. They were one of the biggest boy groups formed through a survival show as the members are all winners of ‘Produce 101’ Season 2. They had an impactful debut, made history in their first year itself, and continued to have a very iconic but short journey in K-pop. The project group disbanded in 2019 after their contracts expired.

However, fans were over the moon when the rumors of a reunion finally came to fruition. For MAMA 2021, the organizers, Mnet shared that they were in talks of a reunion and special projects with Wanna One. They wanted a special performance stage for the boys, fan meetings, concerts and even a special album. Unfortunately, the members are all busy with their other groups, solo careers and activities which is why most of it fell through. But fans’ spirits were not dampened as 10 out of the 11 Wanna One members reunited at MAMA 2021.
