Ong Seong-wu, 30, Shares Life Philosophy: "Focus on What I Can Do Now"

Wanna One member Ong Seong-wu (30) shared his life philosophy of staying present in an interview with fashion magazine 'Harper's Bazaar' Korea. After enlisting in the Army in April 2023, he was discharged last October and has been focusing on his acting career. Cast as the cold-hearted hotel CEO Kang Min-hwan in the upcoming drama 'Creepy Romance,' Ong explained his acting philosophy: "Despite the character's professional, businesslike dialogue, I kept thinking about how to convey the character's impulses." He recalled first dreaming of becoming an actor while watching the play 'Equus' during university, and expressed his current mindset: "I'm concentrating on my present work and reminding myself to do well what I can do right now." Having gained recognition through 'Produce 101 Season 2' in 2017, Ong debuted with Wanna One and is recognized as one of the team's representative visual members alongside Hwang Min-hyun, Park Ji-hoon, and Bae Jin-young. The photoshoot and interview can be found in Harper's Bazaar's July issue and official website.
