8 months definitely were like an 'Eternity' waiting for Ong Seong Wu's fans in Malaysia! Ong Seong Wu back to our shores for the 4th time but this time was for his first solo fan meeting, 'Eternity' tour. (ps: Ong Seong Wu was previously in Malaysia with his fellow members for Wanna One 'ONE: THE WORLD' tour held in July last year.) Over 4,000 ecstatic fans from Malaysia, Thailand, Australia and U.S attended Ong Seong Wu 1st Fan Meeting 'Eternity' in Malaysia held last Saturday (23 March) at Axiata Arena. Whether you were there or not, be sure to check out what happened last Saturday.
Impressive Dance Moves & Versatile Vocal
Ong Seong Wu kick-started the fan meeting with a dance cover of Bruno Mars's 'Treasure'. Performing alone did not dim Ong Seong Wu's spotlight as he showcased his impressive dance moves. Riding on the dance track, Seong Wu treated the fans with ballads such as Lee Sora's 'Please' and Kim Jin-ho's 'Love This Moment'. The moment when Seong Wu sang 제발 (Please) 제발 (Please) 제발 (Please) towards the end of the few notes, the emotional resonate with us so deeply that it triggered goosebumps.

What surprised us was Seong Wu's dance to a medley of Wanna One hits - 'Energetic', 'Beautiful', 'Burn It Up' and 'Day by Day' during the 'OngPlay' segment. When the opening riff of 'Energetic' began playing at the background, the fans went wild chanting and singing along with the lyrics, showing how much they missed the members' LIVE performances. (ps: Seong Wu even did Wanna One's official greetings - All I Wanna Do, Wanna One before the music played TT')
