Lee Daehwi to host 1st solo fan meetup in Japan

Lee Daehwi, of Wanna One and AB6IX, will meet and greet fans in Japan for the first time on his own on Jan. 23, agency WakeOne Entertainment announced Thursday.

He will take to the stage twice on the day in Yokohama, under the title “Hwistory.”

The singer and songwriter stepped into the spotlight in 2017 as a member of Wanna One, coming third in the second season of audition show “Produce 101” that formed the 11-member act.

After the project band disbanded, he joined AB6IX in 2019, leading the team as the main producer and the lead vocalist.

While the team paused activities, Lee parted ways with agency Brand New Music and signed with WakeOne Entertainment affiliate, Off The Record, in August, reuniting with Wanna One bandmate Kim Jaehwan.
