Broadcast dates: Jan. 1 through Feb. 4
Starring: former Wanna One members

Wanna One has officially disbanded, but its 11 members are still active on V Live, connecting with fans via their newly-created personal channel or that of their new agency.

Here’s a recap of former Wanna One members’ recent activities and videos on Naver’s livestreaming platform.

Kang Daniel

Arguably, the biggest star that the now-defunct boy band has produced, Kang created his own V Live channel on Feb. 1 and aired a lunchtime livestream on the same day.

In the very first clip uploaded to the channel, the 22-year-old K-pop singer celebrated the opening of his channel and promised fans he would stream as often as possible, sharing both his public and private life.

“I want to share with you a lot of videos, like from various places I get to travel to, and share my daily life like me practicing,” he said in the 28-second video.

Keeping his word, the star popped up on the V app about four hours later, livestreaming from his office.

“My lunch is on the way and I am going to eat it while streaming,” he said, chatting with fans and answering their questions.

Kang’s video rose to the top of V Live’s daily chart.

Ha Sung-woon

Ha opened his V Live channel on Jan. 30 in what could be a prelude of his solo career.

Before joining Wanna One through the TV audition program “Produce 101,” Ha was a member of boyband Hotshot under Star Crew Entertainment.

Ha’s channel has four videos so far, including the first episode of Ha’s own reality show and a casual livestream in which Ha went through hundreds of entries suggesting the official name and colors of his fan club.

Lee Dae-hwi

From his Wanna One days, Lee was always good at doing V alone.

Under his new agency BrandNew Music, he continues to connect with fans via V, airing two hourlong broadcasts already, although he does not have his own channel.
