Singer and actor Ong Seong-wu (29) is enlisting in the military.
On the 16th, his agency Fantagio released an official statement regarding Ong Seong-wu's enlistment. Fantagio announced, "Our artist Ong Seong-wu will receive basic military training at the training center on Monday, April 17th and then fulfill his national defense duties as an active-duty soldier."
He continued, "We ask for your understanding as the recruit training camp entrance ceremony will be private and no separate official event will be held. We ask that you refrain from visiting to minimize crowding at the site on the day of enlistment."
Lastly, he asked, “Please give warm support and love to Ong Seong-wu, who will faithfully carry out his national defense duties and return in good health.”
Meanwhile, Ong Seong-wu was active as a member of Wanna One, a group created through Season 2 of Mnet's 'Produce 101'. Afterwards, he received attention as an actor through various works.
