Kang Daniel Recreates “Produce 101” Era With 2024 Performance Of “PICK ME”

In 2017, the entire world was crazy over Wanna One and Produce 101. With the theme song “PICK ME” kicking off the phenomenon, it seemed like the group had the world in the palm of their hands.

Everywhere you went, you would hear people singing along to “PICK ME.” Wanna One was one of the top boy groups of the generation. When it came to the end of their group contract, fans shed just as many tears as the boys themselves.

Fans were delighted to see Kang Daniel recreate the iconic theme song at 2024 Waterbomb. He surprised fans with the unexpected performance, a whole 5 years after the group disbanded.

• Daniel is as good as ever.
• He’s as refreshingly innocent as ever.
• I’m the only one who aged. He’s as cool as ever.
• Niel, you’re so pretty.
• His dance is pretty, and his smiling face is the best.
• SOBS. Our memories are still the same.
