Rising actor and singer Ong Seong-wu has set a new standard for fan appreciation, making headlines for his thoughtful gestures on the anniversary of his fan club, WELO. To mark the occasion, Ong personally curated and organized reverse support events at three distinct cafes across Korea—his hometown Incheon Bupyeong, as well as Seoul’s Hongdae and Seongsu neighborhoods.

Exclusive Gifts and Heartwarming Moments

Fans attending the celebratory cafe events were greeted with a suite of bespoke memorabilia: two versions of photo cards featuring Ong’s selfies and handwritten messages, scenic photo postcards taken by Ong himself, and limited-edition cup holders. These gifts, prepared with great care, sparked enthusiastic reactions, with fans sharing their gratitude and pride on social media.

A Surprise Visit Makes It Memorable

The highlight of the anniversary came when Ong Seong-wu made an impromptu appearance at one of the cafes, spending heartfelt moments with lucky fans. He expressed, “I’ve always felt immense gratitude and strength every time I received a coffee truck from WELOs on set. I wanted to return the love and offer a special gift as a reliable artist, which inspired this event.”

Midnight Cover Song Release as a Gift

The celebrations did not stop there. At midnight on the same day, Ong unveiled a cover of Ha Hyun Sang’s ‘Lighthouse’ on his official YouTube channel, delivering his own gentle and warm interpretation of the song. Fans were deeply moved by the intimate performance, reflecting the deep bond between Ong and his fanbase.

Looking Ahead: Stage Debut

The actor shared, “I often reflect on whether my sincerity reaches WELO, and I sometimes worry if I might be missing anything. But I trust that, like a lighthouse always in the same spot, the coming days will continue to show our mutual affection.” Ong’s dedication to expressing his gratitude exemplifies the evolving relationship between K-pop stars and their communities.

Meanwhile, Ong Seong-wu is preparing for his stage debut as William Shakespeare in the upcoming play ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ set to open on July 5. This new chapter marks another exciting milestone in his versatile career.
