South Korean boy group “Wanna One” is holding two fan meetings today and tomorrow at the National Taiwan University (NTU) Sports Center in Taipei. Emerging from hit talent show “Produce 101,” the group has seen its popularity surge since it made its debut in early August.
After winning a dozen or so number ones on TV music programs and signing a number of commercial contracts in just a few weeks, “Wanna One” is now being hailed as the music industry‘s top new arrival. Originally, the group planned to hold its first fan meeting in Taiwan tomorrow but, with tickets sold out within a matter of minutes, the event organizer announced an additional show for today.
Among the 11 members of “Wanna One,” 15-year-old Taiwanese member Lai Kuan-lin is particularly popular, attracting numerous Taiwanese and South Korean fans. Lai is returning home for the first time after entering showbiz especially for the Taipei fan meetings.
