(The live stream will begin in a few minutes)
Oh, mom!
I ate, what about you?
Vitamins? Yeah, I took them too
I'm preparing for news..
Stop sending me Kimchi
It just ends up rotting in my fridge
Hello, everyone
Bringing you the latest updates on Ong Seong-wu at lightning speed
I’m your anchor, Ong Seong-wu
First, we reported last month that Ong Seong-wu has completed his military service and returned to WELO’s side
Back in society, he shared that this new beginning feels exciting and nerve-wracking
and he promised to meet you all more often with an even cooler side of himself
Fans are eagerly anticipating Ong Seong-wu’s future activities and plans
In particular, he made a bold statement at his fan meeting, promising a spectacular performance
leaving the whole world curious about what kind of stage he has in store
Now, let’s connect with the WELOs on site
WELOs on site
Are you ready to have an amazing time today?
If you're excited, make some noise!
Looks like you all skipped a meal before coming
Alright, one more time
If you're excited, make some noise!
'Jjiniya'
Hello, this is Ong Seong-wu
How long has it been?
It's been so long, right?
I really missed you all, WELO
Hello, this is Ong Seong-wu
I really missed this cheering so much
Last time at the fan meeting,
we couldn’t shout out loud
because of the situation, remember?
All we could do was clap
which was still great, but at the same time, it felt a bit bittersweet
Today, so many WELOs are here
It feels like about 50,000 of you showed up
Why?
Wow, just listen to that cheer
Definitely the voice of about 50,000 people
Back when I did a concert at Gocheok Dome with around 20,000 people
I actually felt like the sheer force
of the cheers was pushing me back
Today, I might fly away
Will you make that happen?
Are you going to shout until your necks are sore?
Is that okay?
Unless we have singers in the audience
Any singers
that need to sing tomorrow?
If that's not the case
I want to hear you scream your head off
Now, those on the first floor, scream!
Yes, nice
Very nice
Those on the second floor, scream!
Thank you so much
I am so happy to be here
hearing all of you cheer me on
and very grateful
that I can be in front of you in person
And for those watching online
WELOs on-line
Online WELOs!
I hope you can have a great time as well
while feeling as if you were here
As you know, this meeting was delayed a bit
So while I was a bit disappointed
I think it made us more affectionate towards each other, right?
Missing each other but not being able to
Like when I was in the military
for a year and a half
All the moments where we couldn't meet each other
I think those moments
are what made us more affectionate
and will make this day one of the happiest day for us
Now, it is starting to feel like the beginning of 2025
Although I have done a lot of things since 2025
as you would have
I would like to consider today as the real beginning of 2025
So today
I am on the stage
performing alone
I am not sure if you can tell
but my hands are shaking
because I am so nervous
Off the stage, the staffs were saying
that they are getting nervous
because they could see me nervous
and told me to go up on stage quickly
because I am making them nervous as well
Hold on, I am even more nervous now
Please understand
It's been so long since I've been on a stage
meeting all of you
and because I worked really hard
to show you various things today
all those efforts
are making me feel even more nervous
Anyways, I will be performing alone today
I desperately need your cheers and support
Just react however you want
Even if it's not funny, just laugh
and if the vibe feels a bit off, just scream
The more energy you give me,
the more confidence I’ll have on stage
and that way, I can give you an even better performance
You got it, right?
Alright, let’s do a little catch-up talk
How have you all been?
Oh, I see, that’s how it’s been for you
It's the most... Pardon?
Are you from Hong Kong?
Wow, you came all the way here from Hong Kong to meet me?
Just to see me?
You’re just here to see me and then leaving?
Really?
You waited for me
Thank you so much
Does anyone have something special going on?
You snuck out without your mom knowing?
Wait, really?
How old are you?
Pardon?
Seventeen?
Seventeen? You should’ve gotten your mom’s permission
Anyway, today
Yes, mom
She's here right now
Is there anyone else who has something special?
Is it your birthday today?
Mom's birthday?
Congratulations so much
Maam, happy birthday
Is there anyone else who has something special?
Where?
Greetings on stage?
Oh, that’s right, a month ago
"Niko: Beyond the Northern Lights" was released
I did voice acting for it and got to meet everyone at the stage greetings
Is there anyone who saw the movie?
Who here has watched "Niko"?
Why are there so many not raising their hands...
This is Ong Seong-wu's fan meeting
You’ll watch it for sure, right? Maybe you just haven’t had time yet
or maybe you came with a friend
and didn’t get the chance
Make sure to watch "Niko: Beyond the Northern Lights"
At the stage greeting
I got to see WELOs again after such a long time
and honestly, I was really nervous
I tried my best to act like I wasn’t
I really wanted to capture that bright
hopeful Christmas vibe
so I tried to speak well,
keep my voice upbeat,
and make it sound as cheerful as possible
nd hearing so many good things about "Niko"
made me feel really proud
Did you like my voice acting in "Niko"?
Was it good?
Pardon?
Was I just like Niko?
Should I give you a little preview?
Ha!
Hi!
Hi, I'm Niko!
I'm going to be the best pilot
I did something like this
It even ended up on TV this time
Please watch it a lot
Yeah..
So, I really wanted to make this event
a proper comeback announcement
You can feel it from the concert title, right?
Comeong!
What do you think about this word, Comeong?
Cute?
Comeong is back
The return of Ong Seong-wu, Comeong!
I’m back, not just as Ong Seong-wu,
but as WELO’s very own star
To celebrate the return of your star,
I chose Comeong as the title
So now that I’m back, we’ve got to move forward together
Yes, that’s why I went with the title Comeong
It’s cute but also bold, simple
yet charming and somewhat like that
I put a lot of thought into it
And the song I just sang
'Jjiniya'!
I sang Young Tak's 'Jjiniya'
I chose this song because
it was one of the songs I sang
the most during my military service
Since I was in the military band
we performed at a lot of events
And while putting on a cool performance is important
one of the most crucial things is
the energy
You need that excitement
to liven up the atmosphere,
especially in formal or stiff settings
We need that kind of energy
That’s why we performed songs like 'Jjiniya' and other trot songs
to bring that fun and uplifting vibe to our shows
So I’m sure you’re all curious about
how I spent my time during my military service
During my military service, I sang 'Jjiniya' so many times
that it became second nature to me
That’s why I chose this song Not to start off with serious vibe,
but to come out full of energy
and just have fun with all of you!
That's how I performed 'Jjiniya'
Looking back on this story
When I first joined the military band, after enlisting
and getting assigned to my unit
they asked me,
"You’ll be doing a lot of trot performances here"
"Are you okay with that?"
It felt like they were asking,
"Can you do it?"
"Are you okay with this?"
And I immediately answered
"I'm ready for trot"
"I'll do it"
"I love the song 'Jjiniya'"
"It's such a great song"
And from that moment on, I ended up
singing 'Jjiniya' so many times throughout my military service
If there are a few pauses here, please understand
Alright, shall we get into the different segments and really dive into them?
I'll sit down and get comfortable
Chair, comeong!
It's coming out from here
Thank you
Why do I still feel nervous even while talking?
Why?
Anyways, we're going to start the first segment
Please show what we have
(Ong Seong Ong Seong Fact Check!)
It's time for "Ong Seong Ong Seong Fact Check"!
Ong Seong Ong Seong Fact Check
For a star, attention always follow
It's exhausting
Ah, tired
A star is always tired
The attention is always there, following everywhere
So there are a lot of theories about these interests
Various questions,
witness stories, and so on
Things that need to be fact-checked
We're going to have a time
to check the facts one by one
I heard a lot of anonymous questions came in
Should I check it out?
Please show us the first one
There’s a rumor going around that Ong Seong-wu rushed back because he missed WELO so much!
I'm curious what's the one think you wanted to do the most with WELO?
Congratulations on your comeback
Let’s see each other more often
Yes, that was WELO's voice itself
Isn't it so cute?
Ong Seong-wu rushed back because he missed WELO so much
Yes, that's right
During my last military leave, I had a meeting with my company
to discuss my plans after discharge, what direction I should take
and what to focus on the most
And the very first thing I mentioned in that meeting was a fan meeting
I need to meet you, WELO first
I wanted to meet you all in person and share that time together
because I knew that would make the journey ahead even more meaningful
That’s why I said my top priority was
holding a fan meeting first
But it took a while
Jumping straight into
a performance right after discharge
would have been too rushed
here were so many things I wanted to show and do
but I knew I needed at least two to three months to prepare properly
So after discussing it
we set the schedule and made it happen like this
And that’s how I finally got to meet WELO today
There's another topic to talk about
Can you show another topic?
What was the first thing that came to mind when you saw WELO today?
Why? Don't you want to hear it?
The first thing that came to mind when I saw WELO today was
you’re all just as constant and unwavering as ever
You're always the same
After getting discharged, the thing I hear the most is,
"Wow, you haven’t changed at all"
Why do you look exactly the same after the military?"
I’ve heard that so many times
Do you agree?
Did I get younger?
Did I get cooler?
Have I gotten younger and cooler?
Oh my, what should I do?
Anyway, just like I keep hearing that
seeing WELO today
feels like
no time has passed at all
As we keep talking
I can feel my nerves
slowly easing, little by little
And now, I’m finally starting to see all of your faces more clearly
It feels so good
I can’t wait to see how much fun we’ll have together today
You’ve got to cheer louder
There's something we promised
Thank you
Then, I answered the question
Let's check out the next question
Please show us the next question
I heard that you performed at various events while serving as a military band
I wonder what kind of performance you remember the most and why
If you've met WELO, what's the most memorable episode?
The most memorable episode
Ah, the most memorable performance
The most memorable performance is...
I have a funny story
The most memorable time is when I went into a military band and perform for the first time
Of course, since I was a private,
I was very nervous and hardened
When I heard that I was going to perform, I was looking forward to that part
So the first concert was
the consolation concert
When we went to the consolation concert, the soldiers worked hard and came to the concert
So as soon as I entered the unit
Since there's an event, the staff asked me to work hard
and show them a performance
I prepared a lot of dances, songs, and other things
So it was when I was about to go up on stage
There's a stage and there's a waiting room next to it
I was warming up there since I have to dance
So, about 40 or 50 people were waiting there
So, okay
Should I dance after a long time? Should I sing a song? I was warming up while thinking like this
A predecessor came to me
and tapped me on the shoulder
He said, "Ong Seong-wu, don't be nervous"
When I heard that
I was sure I'd done a lot of performances
At that moment, I felt a bit of cognitive dissonance
I almost lost my focus for a second
So I replied, "I'm not nervous"
I'm okay. I've done a lot of performances
I've already performed a lot
I've performed in places with more audiences than this
I'm okay
I was talking about it
and he went, "Ah, right, right."
So, while being in that space
It was a new atmosphere and immersion
I think he saw me not as a celebrity Ong Seong-wu,
but as a private, nervous Ong Seong-wu
When I heard that from the corporal
I thought I should do my best
There was an episode like that
Anyway
And there's also a behind-the-scenes talk about my favorite song that I sang at the event
My favorite song that I sang at the event... Sing a line in parentheses
That's what it says The best song I sang at the event was
It's 'Fly' by Lee Seungyeol
It was the OST of "Misaeng"
I prepared that song with my successor and performed it
But that's when I heard this song for the first time
It's so nice to listen to after that
The lyrics are so nice, too
That's why it became my favorite song
That's why I like Lee Seungyeol's 'Fly' the most
Shall we move on?
How was it?
Did you love it? Isn't the lyrics so good?
It's a song that gives you hope and strength
It's a song that gives you strength to cheer
So I gained strength while singing that song during my military service
Even after my military service, it became my favorite song
Shall we move on?
Next question, please
Your face is too small Please measure how small it is
Okay, then, check it out
My face is small, right?
Since my face is small
I need to measure how small my face is
I think it's my first time to measure my face
It's time to measure my face
The staff will help us
It's 18cm
This side? Oh, my width? Sorry, can you measure the width, too?
I'll measure it by my self
It's the other way around
Ah, I was the only one looking at the scale
It's 15cm
18, 15
Are you satisfied?
Let's move on to the behind-scene-talk
When did you think that you have really small face?
I think since I was very young
Since I was young.
To be honest, since I was young
I often heard that I have a really small face
Everywhere I went, I heard it
But it had mixed messages
Some were saying it as a compliment
while some were like "It's too small"
"Don't come near me"
"Don't stand next to me"
When we try to take photos together, "go away"
situations like these
So while there were mixed reactions to having a small face
I think having a small face has more positives than negatives
It's good
You can't see well because my face is too small?
Then I guess you have to see it up close
Can you see me better now?
Are you happy?
Am I blinding you?
Oh no
I didn't mean for that to happen
Should I go there as well?
Can you see me clearly?
Hello
Now you got to see me close in person
Is there any way for me to get to the second floor as well?
Anyways
Here, in the center!
Did you get a good look? Can you see me clearly now?
I will continue the meeting like this
Time for the next question
Back in my first year of college, I remember sprinting when I heard that Ong Seong-wu had arrived on the last day of the sports festival
I think you even brought snacks for the students that day
Were you always the type to take good care of your juniors during your school days?
And everyone who saw you back then said you smelled amazing
What kind of scent do you usually wear to smell that good?
I was an energetic student when I was in university
There were rumors that I was student president
even though I wasn't
but there were rumors like that..
Because I am a star
it can be exhausting
with all the rumors
Ong Seong-wu was a student president
I remember that rumor going around as if it were true
Yeah, I was there at the sports festival with snacks
I don’t think I was the type of student
who took extra good care of people or juniors
back in school honestly
Rather than specifically taking care of others
I think I just blended in well with everyone
Getting along, spreading laughter
all those times spent together made my colleagues and juniors like me
I think
They liked me for that reason
And the time I brought the snacks
it was because
when I was filming Produce 101, my university colleagues, juniors, and seniors
helped with the voting
by sharing on
Instagram, Facebook, and so on
promoting me
Telling others to vote for me
Vote for Ong Seong-wu
You have to vote now
You must vote
Their effort
helped me a lot
and because I thought I wouldn't be here today without them
to show gratitude
I wanted to repay them
by bringing the hamburgers from a brand
that I was modeling for at that time
I remember seeing a lot of people there and being happy
Also, the perfume
I smell good..?
we will discuss it in the next question
What perfume do you use?
Some say that I had a pleasant smell when they met me in person
I am not sure
I don't use perfume that often
I only spray them during special occasions
But when I have a schedule, I can't spray any perfume
because I can't spray anything on the stage clothing
So when I am in my stage clothing
I think what they smelled was the scent of myself
Scent of my skin
And about the scent question…
I wasn’t sure how to answer that one
It got me thinking
So, when I wear casual clothes or go to an important event
where I need to be a bit more put together
I do wear perfume
But I think what you might have smelled is the scent of my natural scent
When you like someone a lot, even their scent starts to smell good
I think that is what happened
It's been a while since I have done this, so I get embarrassed at times
So I would appreciate it if you could understand and continue to cheer me on
Am I talking too much?
Do you like it when I talk a lot?
I feel like
my speaking skills have gotten a bit rusty
I keep going off on tangents while talking
Is that okay?
There will be moments when I lose my way
but even in those moments, I hope you’ll keep showing me your love
Anyway, let's move on to next message
Among all the fan encounters, the most common things they say are
"Ong Seong-wu is incredibly handsome" and "He's super kind"
Some even say that sometimes, you offer to take photos first
But since our shy WELOs might be too nervous to say hi even if they see you
how about creating a special sign or gesture just between you and WELOs?
When people meet me
they often say, "He's really handsome"
or "He's kind"
Do you agree?
Let's skip the handsome part
and focus on kindness
There's something about that
If someone recognizes me by chance
there might be times when I can't interact with them
I might be in a hurry or in a situation where I can't stop
I feel really sorry for those moments
But when I do have the chance
I’d love to greet you all more brightly and, whenever possible
take photos and chat as much as I can
Not just because of my job
I know that meeting me is a special moment for you
and I really want it to be a good memory
That’s why I always try to be bright
saying, "Would you like to take a picture together?"
I even ask like this first
I think how I try to be
So, if I run into WELOs on the street in the future
I'll gladly take pictures for you
So it looks like you need a special sign for that
A sign
A sign that means "I'm WELO"
What should we do?
For example, when we meet
"Are you.. Oh my god.."
and I say like "Hello"
there should be a way to express that you're a WELO
Instead of just saying, "I'm a WELO,"
there should be a message
Maybe a hand sign or something?
What do you think would be good?
If I do the wave like this and pass it to you
WELO, you receive it and wave back
How is it?
Can you handle it?
No? It makes you shake your head?
Then how should we do it?
Good? Simply like this?
If we meet on the street and
when I say "Hello"
Fine with this?
If we do it like this, some might be like, "What is that?"
So, should we try it this way instead? Let’s make it cute
WELOng WELOng
Kind of like a clicking something, WELOng
Good? Let's do WELOng like this
Let's do a rehearsal
Hello
Oh, I see
Nice to meet you
You're a WELO, right?
I knew it right away
Nice, let's greet each other like this from now on
You all agree, right?
Now, it’s time for the last question
Show me
I heard that ever since I got back from the military, our telepathy isn’t as strong as before… Is that true?
Has our telepathy weakened?
It’s hard for me to accept that
I thought WELO and I still had great telepathy… Don’t you think so?
Do we still have good telepathy?
What am I thinking right now?
What did I eat yesterday?
Huh?
Right, I ate poke yesterday
So, we’ve got to test our telepathy properly now
You just have to guess what I’m going to choose
When I ask a question, you answer with O or X
Alright, give me the question
Ong Seong-wu eats bungeoppang starting from the tail
One, two, three
Those who chose O put your hands down
This is a game
so the last person raising hand will be the winner
Now, only those who chose X stay
Next question, please
Ong Seong-wu values breakfast over sleep
One, two, three
X
Those who chose O, put your hands down
Let’s move on
For me
morning sleep is more important than breakfast
I have a stronger desire for sleep than for food
Yes, so
Yeah, that's me
Next question, please
Ong Seong-wu sings in the shower
One, two, three
X
Why don't you believe me?
What do you know?
Do you know something?
I've never shown anyone how I shower
Did anyone choose X? Anyone who chose X?
Oh, a few people? A few people?
Only these people can participate
Moving on
Next question
Ong Seong-wu cried in the military because he missed WELO
One, two, three
I had a lot of thoughts at that moment
Are you upset? I'm sorry
But thinking about WELO should make me smile
Why would I cry, right?
Even if I'm crying, thinking about WELO makes me smile
When I see WELO's posts
When I feel like I can't do it, but then I see WELO's posts...
That's the kind of effect WELO has
I did not cry
Next question, please
Ong Seong-wu is more sexy than cute
One, two, three
Quite a few people chose X as well
It seems like opinions are split in half
Show what?
What should I show you?
Huh?
A sexy pose?
You can’t just make up programs on your own like this
There's a plan in place
Huh?
Oh, you need to check out?
I see
Then I'll show you sexy me
Now, shall we check the cute side as well?
Meow
Am I cute?
Then I guess it's been proven
We will conclude that Ong Seong-wu is cute
No objections, right?
Okay
How was it?
Did you feel like we were in sync?
So today, we played various games
had a Q&A session
Oh, does that sound too military-like?
Q&A session
Answered questions, played games
and tried to reconnect our telepathy
Lastly, does anyone have any questions?
I heard that Ong Seong-wu prepared a stage with his favorite songs, is that true?
That was supposed to be a surprise
The news spread too fast
There was an article about it
Oh, there was an article?
This was supposed to be confirmed on stage
My favorite songs...
Right
Among my favorite songs, I chose ones that WELO would enjoy
I also chose
the setlist to be diverse and dynamic
I think you'll like it
Each song holds a special meaning as well
Since
we're on the topic
should I
sing a song for you?
Are you ready?
Then, cue the music
'Hold My Hand'
Yes
Yes, that was IU's 'Hold My Hand'
You all know this song well, right?
It's such a famous song
and it holds a lot of meaning
When I watch IU's
concert videos
my heart races just from the footage alone
Singing those songs and connecting with fans at the venue looks so good
One of the reasons I chose this song is
because
we were apart for a while
During my time in the military, we were a bit distant, but now we've reunited like this
To me
I wanted to capture the feeling of holding hands and moving forward together
That’s why I really wanted to sing this song for you
Holding hands means we’re moving forward together
If we’re holding hands
we can’t say goodbye
So, holding hands means we're holding on
and moving forward together
So I was away for a while, but…
Hey I’m here
WELOs, I’m here!
Hold my hand and don't hesitate
Don’t try to dodge it
Let's go!
Babe, let's go
With that meaning in mind, I chose to sing 'Hold My Hand'
How was it? Was it okay?
And additionally, for something special today…
In a very special way…
I got to perform with a band
I mentioned in a spoiler that they are my dear friends
Who do you think they might be?
Yes, my military band!
They are my military band friends
The year and a half we spent together in the military
And for some of them, one year spent together There are also some seniors here too
Some of them are my seniors
As much as I’ve spent time with those…
A meaningful performance together
And these friends are still young
Young, right?
Anyway, they’re in their mid-20s
As they step into society in mid-20s
I thought it would be amazing if we could start this journey together and move forward
And most importantly, if I’m going to put on a performance
a fan meeting, the quality has to be top-notch
But I had complete faith in them
I trusted them so much
When I first joined the military band, I was really surprised
Since I didn’t join by applying…
Since the division military band isn’t a battalion-level unit that people specifically apply for
I kind of expected it to feel more like a school band
I kind of had that thought for a moment
But as soon as I arrived, there was a performance
and when I saw the band play
I was like, "Wait, what?"
"Why are these people here?"
"Where did they come from?"
"How are they this good?"
Aren’t they really good?
From that moment, I started thinking
When this is over, if I team up with them, it would make for such an amazing performance
So I made a request to my company, and that’s how this all came together
Can I briefly introduce each one of them?
Okay, so for the drums…
This is Kang Isaac, who was my colleague in the military
He was one of the pillars that helped me get through my military service
He’s really funny
He’s not only really funny but also amazing at playing the drums
Since we were in the same batch and spent so much time together
He was someone I couldn’t be without until the end of my service
It was almost to that extent
Now, on bass, this is Lee Dohoon
Yes, he has a very intense look
He was a senior
He was my senior, but now he’s like my younger brother
He’s the one who plays the bass guitar
This friend is very shy and reserved
So I’m worried about today now
During the performance, he needs to feel the rhythm
loosen up, and really enjoy it
Let's see if he can pull it off
Give him a big round of applause for support
You can’t just stand there frozen like this
Next up, we have Hong Yoonpyo on the piano
Yes, he’s Hong Yoonpyo on the keyboard
Yoonpyo is also my senior
He was my senior and also the squad leader in the barracks
Since he was the squad leader, we were really close
We spent a lot of fun time together in the same squad
Thanks to him, I have memories of being able to serve in the military comfortably, laughing a lot
He is also tough
Next is
a guitarist
a bandmaster
and an arranger
Cheon Yoobin
He is also my fellow conscript
Among all the fellow conscripts, he was the very first to come into the military
So he was also the first to go home
Watching him leave
I thought, "It's almost my turn too"
But as time passed, I realized, "Wait… I’m still here?"
But he went home, smiling and waving
He has so many different talents
He's amazing at songwriting and composing
and his drumming is top-tier
He arranged the songs we performed together
He even took a role as a bandmaster, too
Cheon Yoobin, he is such a reliable one
So next, Yoo Yechan on guitar
He was also my senior
So mant seniors, right?
I called you to do this
He plays classic guitar
Ah, I'm so sorry, jazz guitar
He's a jazz guitar major
He is a very excellent musician, too
I almost cried when he was discharged from the military
I was like, "What do I do without you?"
To the point where I asked him not to go
Pardon?
Don't go...
Okay, let's move on
Anyway, to the point where I asked him to do that
It was a pity to break up that I told him not to go
I did a lot of fun things with him, too
I had a fun time in the military
Being able to share the stage with my friends today
makes me feel so proud and grateful
I hope you show a lot of support
Since I have a band, there are many things I can do
For fun, we can even do some improv jam sessions
A few days ago, I suddenly thought of this
I thought it'd be nice to do this spontaneously since there's a band
Do you want to try this?
But there are things that are popular these days
It's a trend
It was remixed and the video was spreading in a fun way
Should I show it to you?
Ok, let's get started
Yeah, I'm going to drink some water
Did you have fun?
I imagined it for fun while practicing
I thought, "Hey, why don't we try this?"
During yesterday’s rehearsal, we tried this on stage
and I thought, "What if the vibe gets awkward?"
"What if it’s not fun? That would be a disaster"
I didn’t want it to end up being something we shouldn’t have done
So we decided to test it out in the first show
just to see the reaction
What do you think? Should we do it again for the second show?
Do you think we can do it?
If I do it one more time, my voice might give out
I might not be able to sing the next song
Anyway, I prepared one more performance
It's my favorite karaoke song
and I sang it briefly in front of you before
I'm going to officially sing it for you this time
It's Lee Juck's
'I didn't know yet'
I'll sing it for you
'I didn't know yet'

(Heart racing... 3 seconds until I meet Ong Seong-wu)
(Heading to Ong Seong-wu with a lot of excitement)
Oh, you're here
(Ong Seong-wu waiting for WELO (ft. Imagination))
It's very cold, right?
Babe, let's go!
(Food court is still pretty quiet What should I eat?)
What do you want to eat?
Pasta?
Shall we eat pasta?
OK!
(Debating about Pasta vs. Omurice... Final decision: Omurice!)
Bon appetit
Before I eat
WELO first
Say "Ah"
How is it?
Is it good?
Why are you getting it all over your mouth?
(Staring)
Shall we eat?
(The weather's so nice that we came to Sky Park)
(Natural light + Ong Seong-wu = Perfect!)
Oh, good
(The weather is lucky because we're together!)
Shall we listen to music?
(Ta-da Ta-da)
The song is nice, right?
It’s exactly what I want to say to you
You're like a picture
Do you want me to take a picture of you?
I'll update
your cyworld today
Stand right there
Say cheese!
(Passionate Ong-tographer for WELO)
Oh, my god
You look so good
(Someone interrupting his date with WELO at this time...?)
Hello?
I'm on a date with my girlfriend
Don't get in the way
Let go!
(Ong Seong-wu & WELO came to take control of the arcade)
((Self-proclaimed) Appearance of a pump master)
(Starting the engine)
(So passionate that he even took off his outerwear!)
(Ong-maestro is leading the beat with his brilliant footwork)
(Expecting results as much as passionate)
(Taking out frustration on the poor drum)
(Ong Seong-wu (Age unknown) / Former football player) You used to be a football player, right?
Do you want me to show it to you?
(Numbers don’t lie)
This is broken...
(A deep sigh escapes naturally…)
I think this is broken
(A chance to redeem that broken score)
If I make this, you have to grant me a wish
My wish is
to be with you forever, WELO

'Welcome to the show'
That was 'Welcome to the Show' by DAY6
The reason I chose this song is
because after a long time, we’re together again
So, welcome to our show
Also, it's exciting and energetic
While discussing the song from various angles
we thought 'Welcome to the Show'
is a must-have for a band performance
And DAY6's songs are so good
So, those legendary songs
I'm Gen Z
Legendary songs
I thought we should definitely sing those legendary songs at least once
So we chose 'Welcome to the Show'
to kick off the fan meeting with a grand and exciting opening
How was it? Did you like it?
Can you make your voices a bit louder?
Louder
Yes
Nice
Sorry
Anyway, the VCR just played
I don’t know who that was
Someone...
Someone appeared
How was it?
Did you like it?
Thank you
While planning the VCR
Since Y2K vibe are
trending
why not shoot an
old-school vlog-style video?
But rather than just lowering the video quality
without any structure,
I felt it would be better to add more content,
make it more conceptual,
and more other things too
So I went
all out
wearing old-fashioned clothes
styling my hair asymmetrically
you know, diagonal bangs
To make it more fun
so I styled like this
But I feel a little embarrassed
I was shocked watching the video myself
I was really surprised
Ugh
Eww
So, the intention was met
It was meant to be
kind of annoying, you know?
Like, "Ugh, this is frustrating"
Did it annoy you?
Yes
Was it okay?
2009
In 2009, I was 15 years old
What was I like at 15?
At 15,
I was especially
shy, just a quiet, introverted kiddo
I don’t remember everything exactly
but I think I had a pretty fun life when I was 15
I played hard, ate well, ran around a lot, got hurt often,
and got scolded by my mom just as much
My mom is here
Anyway
I was like that
I’ve always been like this
Even now, I just do whatever feels the most fun and exciting
So, looking back
I think I’ve grown up well, thanks to
the amazing guidance of my parents
In 2009,
Oh, this can be very sensitive
How old were you guys in 2009?
I'm gonna pass for this question
I gotta protect my WELO!
Each one has different stuff
Okay, let's move on to the next segment
This time, I prepared
ONGsting call
Cheers for ONGsting call are absolutely hot
While preparing for this performance, I really felt
how much WELOs had been waiting for my comeback
Also my future activities
I heard that WELO directors were flooding in with casting offers for me
Is it true?
I heard that WELO directors
have come here today to scout me, checking out
various challenges and acting performances
to see if I’m cast-worthy
Is that correct, WELO directors?
I’m going to give it my all in
today’s audition for the WELO directors
Thank you
Now, to meet the directors’ expectations,
I will perform the requested scenes
A unique aspect is that one line in the scene is missing
and I have to guess and fill in the missing part before acting it out
Since I’ve been out of touch with trends for a while, I’m a bit worried
But star does everything he has to do
If the directors want
I’m ready to show everything I have
Alright, I’ll give it a try
Please show me the first scene I need to reenact
(WELO, Me)
WELO, (blank) me
I think I know this one
It’s obviously “WELO, hug me,” right?
That’s correct
This was something I did during
a photoshoot for Esquire
Since some of you said
you wanted to see it in person
I’ll be recreating that moment for WELO directors right here
WELO, hug me
Hug
Huh? You want me to do it again?
Was it too energetic? How should I do it?
Cute?
But that’s not how it’s originally done, right?
I honestly didn’t know
I was just lying on the bed when they told me to say
“WELO, hug me,”
But they told me that’s not the way to do it
Is that right?
I don’t know, anyway
Let’s try it again
WELO, hug me
I need WELO’s reaction!
Shall we move on to the next scene?
Show me
(I told you not to say "Hey" when we fight)
What is this?
I told you not to say "Hey" when we fight?
I really don’t know this
Let's make a guess
I told you not to say "Hey" when we fight, right?
Right? It’d be a little upsetting if someone just said, “Hey!”
Since "Hey" feels upsetting
what should we say instead?
Honey
While fighting?
Huh?
Babe
So I told you not to say "Hey" when we fight
babe
Is this it?
Is that right?
I told you to call me "babe"
Oh, so even when we fight, we should always use the exact term "Babe"
It means we shouldn’t make each other feel hurt
Okay
Let’s immerse ourselves in this by applying WELO
I told you not to say "Hey" when we fight
I told you to call me "babe"
Huh? Babe
Babe
Babe, what do you mean "Hey"?
Huh? Babe, is this right?
I told you not to say "Hey" when we fight
No matter how emotional we get, don’t say "Hey"
Babe, I really want you to keep this
Got it, babe?
How was that? Did you like it?
Is this how it’s supposed to be done?
Is it?
Are you scared?
When I fight…
Should I make it cuter?
I told you not to say "Hey" when we fight, right?
I told you to call me "babe"
Is it like this?
Is everything good?
Then let’s move on to the next scene
After finishing my military service, I realized… I have no idea what’s trending in challenges anymore
Challenges and things like that
Before meeting you all, I quickly practiced some famous challenges
There are so many challenges these days, right?
Challenges that just pass by quickly
Do you want to see them?
Do you want to see me doing those kinds of challenges too?
Alright, then I’ll show you
WELO directors, this is an opportunity
A chance to be recognized
Alright, then show me the first challenge
(Maru is a Puppy)
I can do it, I can do it
Give me your energy please
It's "Maru is a Puppy" challenge
"Maru is a Puppy"
I was not familiar with it
Well, in a cute way
This is a cute thing
Let me try
"Maru is a Puppy"
When I put the mic down, the music will begin
What do you think?
I haven't been connected with cuteness yet
After a while, you will see proper cuteness
Let me try the next challenge
Show me the next one
(The First Snow)
It's a "The First Snow" challenge by EXO
This is a perfect challenge for this season
As we had snow yesterday
It was not the first snow of this year, but anyway we had snow
To celebrate our meeting on a white, beautiful day
Shall we begin "The First Snow" challenge?
The First Snow challenge
Shall we?
Let me start
Okay, how was that?
"The First Snow"
Does this match the vibe of the snow falling right now?
Did you like it?
Challenge... wow...
It's quite a challenge
Let me try the last one
Show me the last one
Okay
"Smoke"
It's a Smoke challenge
I have done this Smoke challenge once
I've did Smoke challenge at Ground Forces Festival
Back then, a fan who requested it
even came up on stage and danced along
We did the Smoke challenge
together
But this time you guys want me to dance alone
So I will dance alone
Let me start
Sorry, hold on
I forgot the middle part
Hold on a second, let me do a quick choreography check!
Let me try again
Let's go
I tried the Smoke challenge
How was it?
Did it look okay?
Did you all like Ong Seong-wu’s challenges?
Would you cast me?
Finally, I am casted!
Would you?
But I feel a bit of regret
Because I still have a lot to show you
This evening
I have another show
I will show more to those WELO directors
Well
I'll sing one more song
to attract your attention
Sorry?
I'm in?
Thank you
Let me drink some water
Why?
I'll show you an emotionally touching show
The lyric will be very impressive
So I want you to dwell on the lyric of this song
Let's begin
'Forest'
Okay
Did you enjoy it?
It was 'Forest' by Choi Yu Ree
It was 'Forest'
Based on the main message of this song
What to convey through this song
I was thinking what to tell you WELOs
While thinking it over
our bandmaster suggested
"How about the song 'Forest'?"
I loved the idea
The lyrics were beautiful, and it felt perfect
So he showed me a video of
'Forest' sung by Hong Issac
That's the version I brought to you today
How was that?
While singing, what I thought was
now I'm in the entertainment business
and there's something ideal to me
I want to be a forest
I think, "I want to be a forest"
Also I hope others support the process while I become a forest
I hope they support me for good
but then there are times when I feel agitated
There are joyful moments, but there are also times when things feel tough, when sadness hits
and when it feels like everything might fall apart
and feels not confident
Emotions come in waves
and at some point, I might lose my way
Asking myself, "Which forest was I looking at?"
"What did I want to be?"
"What did I want to do?"
These questions keep circling in your mind, coming back again and again
In those moments,
WELO, you always become
a huge source of strength for me
It’s really fascinating
Emotions and feelings are intangible
Those don't
physically exist
yet they have such incredible power
The support, messages,
expressions,
and the things I feel while spending time with you like this
make me feel like you’re saying, "Ong Seong-wu, it’s okay"
"You can do it"
"I'll cheer for you"
"I'll root for you"
"You can do it"
"No matter what path you take"
"or what you decide to do, I'll be there for you"
"Just go for what you want"
That strong trust and belief you give me brings me so much comfort
and I find myself being deeply encouraged by it
In those moments, I find my direction again
"Right, that’s what I wanted to become"
"I can do this"
"I can get there"
I feel like I can become a forest
I think that's really well contained in this song...
I think there are a lot of lyrics that touch me
So I sang this song
With this song
I feel like I’ve shown you almost everything I prepared for today
No?
Since this was my first fan meeting after being discharged, I put a lot of thought into it…
but I’m not sure if I did well today
Did I do well?
I was too nervous
and felt a bit clumsy at times
But from this point on, I’ll keep moving forward
and improving
As I continue meeting you
and working hard
I’ll grow, mature,
and bring you even better performances in the future
We won't have to say goodbye from now on, will we?
All we have to do is see each other
We have to see each other often, right?
So, I want to do many things that WELO wants
Is there anything you want from me?
What?
An album?
Album
Do you want me to release an album?
A concert?
A musical?
Something else?
A play?
A play
Oh, play
Is there something else?
The next work
Ah, the next work
The next work
Don't ask that
I'll tell you later
It's hard to tell you in detail
So I hope you know
that I'm working hard right now
I want to tell you good news in a drama
or even if it's not a drama
a play, an album, a musical
A concert... Hold on...
Can I hold my concert?
Of course, 50,000 people came today
but a concert...?
I can do it!
Okay
I’ll seriously discuss it and give it some thought
And actually, I practiced something
just for you all today
There are a lot of things that came out during the practice process
That's... Um...
Why don't we show them playing the instrument?
What instrument could it be?
A flute?
That's so embarrassing, isn't it?
I didn't expect that at all
A flute?
Not flute
It's here right now
What do you think it is?
Right, there's a drum
Since we have drums here,
I thought, "Why not give you a little drum performance?"
So, along with my friends, I’ll show you a short set
Drum
Okay let me see
I'm drummer Ong
Let me show you
Let's go
Oh I'm nervous
Drum
That was fun
How was my performance?
It wasn't so bad was it?
How was it drummer?
He gave me thumbs up
The vibe is just right
and we’re all warmed up
How about we wrap things up with a group photo time?
Shall we take a picture?
Let's take a picture
Me and band sessions together
I'll take one with them, then alone
They said they wanted to do this
Are you ready?
You can take the picture
Okay let's take a picture
Three two one
And I'll take one alone with WELO
WELO's happiness Ong Seong-wu, we waited well, right?
Thank you for waiting
Okay let's take a picture
Okay, we took pictures
And with that, we've reached the end of the first Comeong show
It's sad
Thank you so much for welcoming me back after so long
and for giving me the strength to stand on this stage today
Some of you must have come from faraway
Some of you must have waited a lot to meet me
like the ones from Hong Kong here
Is it correct? Was it Hong Kong?
There are fans from Hong Kong
but time flies, doesn't it?
Time really do fly
but I'll be meeting WELO at the evening concert
and I'll make the chance to meet again in the future
Let’s look forward to our next meeting
Please get home safely
Now, I’ll wrap things up with my final performances
I feel like this might be the song you’ve been looking forward to the most
and the one you love the most
I hope it becomes my final gift to you
With that, I’ll say my goodbyes here
This has been...
I know it's sad
No
Don't go
Let's meet again
What? No?
Shall I continue like this until the evening concert?
Non stop?
Let's meet again
We'll be meeting agin, right?
You guys said you will be here until I hold a dinner show
You'll be here until there's a dinner show, right?
Is it right? Dinner show?
You guys will be here until there's a diner show
I feel like we'll be meeting a lot until then
I'll be back to show you a variety and better me
I'll say goodbye now
This has been Ong Seong-wu
Thank you
'WE BELONG'
(The performance has ended Thank you for watching)
