Singer Ong Seong-wu stars in the JTBC drama "At Eighteen," marking his solo acting debut. He graces the cover of the April 2019 issue of Star & Style magazine (@star1) alongside the brand's stars. The pictorial, featuring the Swiss luxury watch brand Omega, showcases Ong Seong-wu's masculine charm and handsome appeal. Regarding his first acting challenge, Ong Seong-wu stated, "I'm thrilled to be promoting under the name Ong Seong-wu." He added, "It's not a short film or a sudden role; I'm a little nervous about taking on a leading role in a serious drama, but I'll do my best," demonstrating his ambitious and determined spirit.
Seong-woo, who plays Choi Joon-woo in "At Eighteen," said, "Although the character I play, Choi Joon-woo, is a lonely person, the audience can enjoy the story of what happens to him and how he changes afterward." He added, "In particular, Joon-woo and I are strikingly similar." This response has made people even more eager to see the character.
Ong Seong-wu, who received support from the Wanna One members for his first starring role, said, "I felt very grounded and comfortable." He added, "Because we've always been as close as family, I thought it would be painful to be separated from each other, but our trust in each other has only grown deeper," showcasing the strong friendship among the members.
