I just know that Wanna One's members were really popular but I don't know much about their stages like Open Up

original post: here

1. Park Jihoon from what I remember...

2. Park Jihoon

3. Joo Haknyeon, Bae Jinyoung and that tip-toe guy no? I remember that they were the ones from the pre-broadcast that were the most popular. And that tip-toe guy's real name was Park Sangwoo... I think
> Park Sungwoo!

4. Joo Haknyeon, Park Jihoon, Park Sungwoo and Jang Moonbok?

5. At first, it was tip toe oppa, Joo Haknyeon and Park Jihoon. And Jang Moonbok who was famous for a whole different reason

6. At first, the most popular were the wink guy (Park Jihoon), tip-toe guy (Park Sungwoo) and hip-hop president (Jang Moonvok)

7. At first it was Park Jihoon, then it became Kang Daniel, Ong Seongwu, etc.

8. It has to be Park Jihoon

9. Even before Produce started, Park Jihoon (wink), tip-toe guy (Park Sungwoo), Joo Haknyeon (because of his fansite pictures? and Jeju-do) were the most popular. After the 1st episode, it became Hwang Minhyun, Ong Seongwu and MOOs... It's true that Jang Moonbok made a buzz but to call it fame is a bit..

10. Park Jihoon... The wink guy... Seriously he was daebak

I never understood why Open Up won that challenge when queen Never existed

And even I Know You Know was catchier, but it had only the unpopular trainees who were talented but had no voters

What happened to OngNiel? They went from being inseparable best friends and closest bond on Broduce and during Wanna One to whatever this is

Quote from LovenRose

Wasn’t it Jihoon, Samuel and Moonbok

Yes but tiptoe guy too. At the initial even where the trainees first faced fans in uniforms before the show really started and we knew anything about them, Sungwoo got so much attention because he was hot and the tiptoe gif went massively viral. The most viral, I think. But he was never a trainee and had no training nor dancing skills so he fell off.

jihoon, Samuel, haknyeon

HAKNYEON really fell off a lot

At least samuel's buzz was mostly from international fans

Haknyeon was made fun of and bullied for being a country boy who was helping provide for his family and raising pigs. It was horrible to read things about him because antis found faults with everything he did. I don't know how he took it because the situation was really ugly. He was evil edited too because Mnet clearly didn't want to debut him and didn't expect him to blow up.

Mnet staffs were pieces of shits to the trainees for real. Every time somebody who wasn't in their debut group got a little attention, they'd evil edit them and then give them 0 screentime after it. They influenced people to dislike trainees they didn't have in mind. They had deals with companies and wanted a certain look, hence why they for example evil edited Baekho, Haknyeon, Sanggyun, Yongjin...

yea IKR

Im still impressed Baekho made it with all kind of evil editing + almost zero screentime towards the end of season (as mnet thought he was getting too popular). If only he debut with Wanna One 🥺🥺🥺

He was too talented not to debut. It sucks that they ignored him and stole his spot. I ain't mad at the trainee who got it because they didn't know, I'm mad at Mnet.

Quote from LovenRose

Confess I don’t remember who the tiptoe guy is or the gif hehe. The only viral gif I remember is the wink

I had a twitter account for Broduce at the time and tiptoe trended before wink iirc. Was it a presser with all the trainees? The event where we got all the photos of them in uniforms.

Quote from LovenRose

I can't find the gif Can you how me which one it is

It's in the OP!

He was in the back row but taller trainees were in front of him so somebody filmed him tiptoeing and he noticed that and smiled and that moment went viral!

Quote from LovenRose

Oh okay I do remember that

Yeah, that's why he got called tiptoe guy!

But then his audition was what nobody expected and then he never got any screentime after that.

Quote from LovenRose

Right. He wasn't very good. Plus wasn't he the oldest contestant there

Yeah he was. He's actually a really cool guy. He's an actor and was never an idol trainee. I think his company just sent him there because he sort of knew how to sing, was handsome and they wanted him to create a buzz.

He's got a new company now and signed with them recently and immediately snatched a main role in a new series.

It's funny he had to tiptoe at over 180cm. That year had a few really tall trainees and a few trainees that wore big insoles, so he probably didn't expect them to be that tall lol.

He majored in Films and Arts at Sejong university, and has a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from National Institute for Lifelong Education. He already appeared on the big screen before he was in Broduce.

He also got the respect of Korean men for serving early in the army.

His juniors in the army were raving about him so netizens loved to hear it.
