Actor Ong Seongwoo is wrapping up his mandatory military service after about a year and a half. He enlisted in April last year and served in the Army's 6th Infantry Division Band. He also hosted a mental resilience training program called "That Day, Military Stories," created by the Ministry of National Defense and the Defense PR Agency (KFN).

In a statement through his agency, Fantagio, Ong expressed his feelings about finishing his service. He said, "I have great respect for the officers and soldiers dedicated to our country and for the many seniors who have completed their service. It was a time filled with experiences and emotions that I couldn't have in life. I gained strength thanks to my fans, family, and friends who waited for me."

Ong reflected on how he is closing out his twenties with this chapter of his life and looks forward to starting his thirties with the valuable lessons he's learned. He hopes his fans will continue to support him in his future activities.

Ong Seongwoo first gained attention as a singer on "Produce 101 Season 2" in 2017. He has since shown his talent as an all-rounder, starring in popular dramas like "Moment at Eighteen" and "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon," along with the film "Life Is Beautiful." His drama "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon," which aired while he was in the military, kept him in the spotlight even during his break from acting.

Last October, during his service, he performed a medley with artists Ha Sungwoon, GOT7's Jin Young, and MONSTA X's Minhyuk at the "2023 Ground Forces Festival" in Gyeryong City. This performance gained a lot of attention on YouTube and social media.

Now that he’s back, Ong Seongwoo is ready to show a more mature and developed side of himself, and fans can’t wait to see what he does next. To celebrate his discharge and connect with his fans, he plans to hold a live broadcast on his official YouTube channel on the 17th at 6 PM.

Ong's journey through military service has been a significant experience for him, and fans are excited to support him in this new chapter of his life!
