Actor Ong Seong-wu certified his deep love for fans with a touching return gift.
On the 24th, Ong Seong-wu held a return gift cafe event at three cafes, including his hometown of Bupyeong, Incheon, and Hongdae and Seongsu-dong in Seoul, to celebrate the birthday of his fan club 'WELO'.
Fans who visited the birthday cafe that day were provided with carefully prepared commemorative goods, including two types of photo cards with selfies and handwritten messages, landscape postcards taken by the actor himself, and specially designed cup holders.
As a result, he received great responses from fans, such as “I was so grateful and happy,” “Ong Seong-wu is the best,” and “I’m proud to be a part of WELO.” In particular, on the day of the event, Ong Seong-wu made a surprise visit to the birthday cafe, spending special time with fans, which deepened the meaning of the event.
Ong Seong-wu expressed, “I am always grateful and reassured every time I enjoy coffee and snacks through the coffee trucks sent by WELO at the site,” and added, “I thought about how I could repay WELO, and through this opportunity, I wanted to give a special gift as a reliable artist.”
His special gift did not stop there; at midnight on the 24th, when WELO's birthday began, he released a cover song through his official YouTube channel. Ong Seong-wu reinterpreted Ha Hyun-sang's 'Lighthouse' with his own calm and warm emotions, deeply moving his fans.
He shared, “I often wonder if my sincere feelings that I want to convey to WELO are well delivered, and if there’s anything I might have missed. However, we have countless tomorrows, and like a lighthouse that is always in the same place for each other, I believe that the many days ahead will prove our hearts to each other.” He explained the reason for choosing Ha Hyun-sang's 'Lighthouse' as his cover song.
Ong Seong-wu is set to play the role of 'Will Shakespeare' in the play 'Shakespeare in Love,' which opens on July 5, marking his first theater debut.
