And so embrace the colours they did. Wanna One releases the two concepts for their debut extended play, "1x1=1 (To Be One)", on the 3rd of August. The first is youthful and very vibrant in colour; Wanna One here is buzzing with energy and ready to play. Photo: Facebook

The second concept is more brooding, contrasting the previous cutesy image to show that they, too, can nail the more alluring and cool nonchalant look. This double concept strategy will continue on throughout their releases to emphasize the group's versatility in style and music. Photo: Facebook

The second concept image goes preppy with sweaters, suspenders and dress pants - this again emphasizes the softer and more laid-back feel the repackaged album "1-1=0 (Nothing Without You)" embodies. They hit it home with the unexpected win of pop ballad "Beautiful", a fresh breather from all the other high-energy acts other groups were putting up during the various end-of-the-year music shows that follow.
