BTOB's Lee Minhyuk: “I was jealous because Wanna One was doing so well” … An honest confession after 7 years



Wanna One's reality content has surpassed 100 million cumulative views.

On the 13th, Mnet Plus announced through its official social media channels that the cumulative views for videos related to 'WANNA ONE GO: Back to Base' had exceeded 100 million.

In the third episode released on the 12th, the 'Open Base DAY' episode showed special guests visiting the Wanna Base. Actor Shin Seungho appeared as the first guest and showed natural chemistry with members while talking about his close friendships with Ong Seongwu, Park Jihoon, and Hwang Minhyun through past projects.

Visits from fellow musicians especially attracted attention. BTOB members Lee Minhyuk and Seo Eunkwang, along with ALPHA DRIVE ONE members Leo and Xinlong, visited the Wanna Base, creating a meeting between 3rd and 5th gen idols.


Lee Minhyuk surprised the members by honestly saying, "Back then, you guys were doing so well that I felt jealous," recalling Wanna One's massive popularity in the past. He added, "It was a shame that your promotion period was so short. I was really happy to hear that you were reuniting," creating a touching atmosphere.

Director Jang Hangjun, who also visited the set, showed his affection by gifting what he called the "Jang Hangjun three-piece-set goods," including a handmade light stick, a mug, and a placard. He also made everyone laugh by joking, "Jihoon usually doesn’t contact me much," and "You absolutely have to lose weight," showing their close friendship off camera.

The show also revealed various moments from the members’ daily lives, including visits from their pets and behind-the-scenes stories from their music show comeback promotions. At the end of the broadcast, a video titled "The Secret of Wanna Base," featuring moments from their 2017 debut stage up to the present, was shown, leaving both the members and fans emotional.
