The aftermath of Wanna One’s ‘Star Live’ incident is rather conspicuous.

Wanna One members created a controversy when their private conversation accidentally aired through Mnet ‘Star Live’ broadcast. The group had just made a comeback with their 2nd mini album, ‘0+1=1 (I PROMISE YOU).’

Afterwards, the members posted the apology on their official fan page in the name of Wanna One, but it seems like the apology wasn’t enough to win back some fans.

However, in the midst of controversy, Wanna One is continuing their music promotions by participating in KBS ‘Music Bank in Chile’ on March 21. This concert is a cultural exchange event, which is a part of KBS world tour. The world tour started in Japan in 2011, and continued to expand its territory to other countries. The Chile concert will happen on March 24 at the Chile Santiago Movistar Arena.

According to a source, Wanna one will start the official album promotions after they return from Chile.

However, the release of ‘Wanna One Go in JEJU’ has been delayed.

The ‘Innisfree x Wanna One’ posted on its official SNS account that “‘Wanna One Go in Jeju’ which was scheduled for a release this week, is delayed due to internal conflicts. We sincerely apologize for those who have waited so patiently. We will release it as soon as possible and with better quality, too. Please refer to the upcoming posts about the exact schedule. We apologize once again and ask for your understanding.”

Following its previous ‘Wanna One Go’ seasons, the group finished filming the third season in Jeju. The original plan was to reveal the first teaser on March 20th, second teaser on 22nd, and first episode on the 23rd. This seems like one of the effects of the ‘Star Live’ incident.

Unlike regular idol groups, Wanna One members have been chosen by the public. In addition, the team will last only for a certain amount of time. Because it hasn’t even been a year since their debut, this controversy became a huge deal. Whether Wanna One will survive and complete the group activities with a successful result, we will see.
