According to CJ ENM, ŌĆ£2020 MAMAŌĆØ production team planned and offered a joint performance of Wanna One. CJ ENM told Newsen that the groupŌĆÖs joint performance is under discussion but that nothing has been decided. ŌĆ£MAMAŌĆØ is a global music awards ceremony held by CJ ENM at the end of each year and will mark its 12th anniversary this year. This yearŌĆÖs ceremony will be held online on December 6. About a month ago, five members of Wanna One (Lee Dae Hwi, Park Woo Jin, Park Ji Hoon, Ha Sung Woon, Kim Jae Hwan) reunited to perform at ŌĆ£KCON:TACT Season 2.ŌĆØ At the time, they said, ŌĆ£We are on the stage together for the first time in two years, and weŌĆÖre excited and happy to be able to show you this meaningful performance,ŌĆØ and performed their fan song ŌĆ£AlwaysŌĆØ and ŌĆ£12th Star.ŌĆØ However, public opinion on Wanna OneŌĆÖs joint stage on ŌĆ£2020 MAMAŌĆØ is quite different. Some fans welcomed the news, saying that they canŌĆÖt wait to see them all together, but most fans reacted otherwise. The prevailing opinion is that a joint performance of a group that already disbanded at a large music award ceremony, where the primary purpose is to honor K-pop artists who have made their mark over the past year, is not understandable. In particular, they stressed that itŌĆÖs highly inappropriate for CJ ENM to invite back a team formed through their controversial Produce series. It is also regrettable that the offer for their performance was made at a time when the trial on the alleged manipulation has not been completed. With all the members from Wanna One showing good performances as soloists or groups, fans are criticizing the organizers who planned the stage that even fans do not welcome. Here are some of the reactions: ŌĆ£They really donŌĆÖt know went to stop,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£I mean itŌĆÖs not like theyŌĆÖre like god or H.O.T. They only broke up 2 years ago,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Each member is doing just fine so donŌĆÖt drag them into this mess,ŌĆØ or ŌĆ£This is gonna start a new war between fans.ŌĆØ Source (1)
