X1 Reality Show Reunion Proposal: PD Ahn Joon Young's Move Sparks Debate
Former PD Ahn Joon Young has reportedly proposed a reality show reunion to X1 members. Explore the background of this proposal and how it compares to Wanna One's return.
Can a group forged in scandal find its way back to the spotlight? On January 22, 2026, reports emerged that former Mnet producer Ahn Joon Young, who served time for the 'Produce' series vote-rigging scandal, recently met with members of X1 to propose a reality show. While discussions are ongoing, the program hasn't been officially confirmed for broadcast yet.
The X1 Reality Show Reunion Proposal and Ahn Joon Young
X1 debuted in August 2019 through 'Produce X 101' but disbanded just 5 months later when the rigging controversy came to light. Ahn Joon Young was sentenced to 2 years in prison in 2020 and was released in November 2021. The prospect of him personally directing this new project has stirred significant attention within the industry.
Comparing X1 and Wanna One Comeback Prospects
With Wanna One already confirming a reality show produced by Mnet, many netizens argue it's time for X1 to have their second chance. While some fans are ecstatic, others remain cautious about the involvement of the original producer responsible for the group's initial downfall.
