What is the most powerful weapon he will wield on stage? In preparing for this fan meeting, Ong Seong-wu found the answer to this self-imposed question in "idol-like freshness." The rehearsal process leading up to the 2026 Ong Seong-wu Fan Meeting ‘Let’s go-ONG’ served as a testament to his musical spectrum and his strengths as a performer.

"My strength lies in freshness"... A challenge toward "Idol" Ong Seong-wu

The core keywords for this fan meeting are freshness, summer, and coolness. While Ong Seong-wu has previously explored musical experimentation through grand performances utilizing band sounds, he has decided to focus on his intrinsic strengths this time. Regarding the concept of this stage, he stated, "I decided on these songs because I felt that showing an idol-like, refreshing, and breezy side of myself could be my greatest strength on stage."

The movement in the practice room was intense. In the process of coordinating choreography formations and adjusting the flow of the songs, Ong Seong-wu faced physical limits. "Dancing continuously like this after such a long time made me realize how much training is truly required," he shared candidly. "I was so exhausted that I was stumbling when I got home after practice." However, even amidst this exhaustion, the process of the stage coming to life became a new source of motivation for him.

The final rehearsal in the practice room was conducted as a Run-through, ensuring a seamless flow of the songs. During the process of refining choreography details, he meticulously checked every subtle movement, such as closing his eyes or shifting his center of gravity. His seriousness toward the performance was evident as he checked the stability of his headset microphone and adjusted the intensity of his movements to match the mood of each song.

Above all, what drove Ong Seong-wu was his devotion to his fans. As this performance marks his reunion with fans after more than a year, the top priority from the preparation stage has been, "Will the fans like this?" Ong Seong-wu expressed his anticipation, saying, "From the moment the performance began to look complete, I kept thinking that the fans would love it."

Now leaving the practice room for the actual venue, Ong Seong-wu is preparing for the happy moments he will share with his fans. "I hope that through this fan meeting, you all will have a truly happy and joyful time," he said, signaling his upcoming reunion on stage.
