Ong Seong Woo: From idol in a cult group to the most anticipated male lead of 2023

Ong Seong Woo debuted as an idol singer with a project group from the survival show Produce 101. Although only 18 months old, at that time, want to One was considered a rival on par with BTS.

Ong Seong Woo impressed from the first episodes of "Produce 101" thanks to his beautiful, bright appearance. Not only that, the judges were also extremely impressed by the choreography and vocal ability that deserved to be ranked A. He always maintained his performance when regularly ranked in the top 11 best contestants after each round. The final result was that the male idol was debuted with want to One in 5th place with a total of 984,756 votes.

Ong Seong Woo was born on August 25, 1995 in Incheon, South Korea. He had an 8-month internship at Fantagio Entertainment before participating in the survival show Produce.In an interview with GQ Korea magazine in 2019, he said, "While studying at Hanlim Arts High School, many companies came to my school, found me and gave me business cards. I refused, and after about 9 to 10 times, they said, "Why is that? Our company is good." What good companies they are. I replied, "I don't intend to be a celebrity. I just want dancing to be my hobby." When I was younger, I had only one dream, but it was too harsh and it was just a wound. But the interesting thing is, even though I have that wound, I still dance, still sing and act. Even though I was hurt, I wanted to do those things."

Seong Woo graduated from Hanlim Multipurpose Art School. In 2014, he enrolled in the 11th course, Department of Acting Arts at Seoul Dong University with a major in acting.

After becoming an idol singer and acting as a member of the b.oy band want to One. Ong Seong Woo's heat is getting stronger and stronger. Possessing grace, humor and handsome appearance, the guy constantly receives invitations to participate in variety shows. The male idol continuously reached the top of the brand rankings during his time with the group.

After want to One disbanded in 2019, Ong Seong Woo went solo as a solo artist. He also debuted as an actor with his debut film, The Moment of the Age of 18. Despite being the first lead role to open his professional acting career, Ong Seong Woo has received a lot of praise from moviegoers.

Following the success of his first film, he continuously appeared in many other drama and movie projects such as: More Than Friendship (2020), 20th Century G.irl (2022), Take Me Find My First Love (2022), Chase Seoul (2022) ...

Most of the works that Seong Woo participated in, he took on the main casting role. The latest is the most anticipated movie of 2023: Strong Gang Nam Soon. Following the success of Strong G.irl Do Bong Soon since 2017. 6 years later, season 2 was born with a new story about Do Bong's cousin sister Gang Nam Soon.

In the drama, Ong Seong Woo plays Kang Hee Shik - a strong, solid male police officer who stands out with a handsome, masculine appearance. Kang Hee Shik will be the one to conquer the heart of Nam Soon (Lee Yoo Mi), who possesses tremendous strength, due to her family's genetics.

However, although the drama initially attracted a lot of attention from the audience thanks to the success of the previous film and the appearance of the couple Park Hyung Sik - Park Bo Young, the script later showed more and more holes. The film circuit is judged too slowly, while the construction of plots and contexts for the male and female leads lacks attraction.

The male lead Gang Hee Shik (Ong Seong Woo) becomes the "stepchild" in the entire story, and the person who occupies the most attention is the supporting actor Ryu Shi Oh (Byun Woo Seok).

The time the drama began airing was also when Ong Seong Woo began to enlist in the military. Therefore, he cannot participate in important events of the film, which is also a small factor affecting film media in Korea.

Although in the last 2 years, Ong Seong Woo has been working movies and films have also been released continuously, but the audience is still not satisfied and really interested in any of his roles. In terms of acting, the former want to One member is still well appreciated and has a lot of potential for development in the future. However, the script he chose was not really impressive. Audiences hope to see more diverse roles in the future, as well as soon see a b.oom in one of his new films after his discharge.

In addition, fans who have watched Ong Seong Woo since he was active as an idol singer have expressed their desire to see him on stage again. Possessing good singing ability, a voice with its own color, along with outstanding dancing skills and charismatic charisma, it would be a pity if the aspects were forgotten for too long.

However, recently, the audience of Ong Seong Woo's idol version was extremely excited when he performed with a few other idols on stage during a music show in the military.

The audience appreciated the passage of time, but Ong Seong Woo's "demagoguery" on stage did not diminish at all. On the contrary, there is also a strong feeling, more attractive than the previous day.
