today let me rant about ong seongwoo. I could write for hours about him as an artist and as a human but I won’t because that’s not the point of this rant. The point is his situation.
Just in case you don’t know, Seongwoo is a trainee of Fantagio Entretainment. Fantagio is more known as an actors’ agency and so it is their main focus.
The agency debuted a boygroup recently, ASTRO, a group with a cute and innocent image for the moment. That’s alright, but what does that mean? That they probably don’t plan on debuting another boygroup anytime soon. Since Fantagio is not a huge company they need to focus in the already debuted group and not generating competence themselves. Besides that, it is rumoured that they don’t have enough male trainees right now.
That’s alright you may think, maybe Seongwoo can join ASTRO. And yes maybe it is an option, but it is really a good option? As a Ong stan, and this is my personal opinion, I don’t think so. He doesn’t fit the current concept at all, and if he is added to an already formed group he would get hate and be questioned a lot. Plus he would have to change his style completely and dress, act, dance and sing differently than how we are used to and how he LOVES to. Plus the group is not really popular, even tho it is growing, if he joins it could disband soon and then Seongwoo would be heartbroken.
And you may say: but he can debut as a solo artist. And yes, I guess he could, but how hard would it be? Solo singers are not even half a popular as boygroups nowadays. Plus, I repeat, Fantagio is a small company. Even if he got to debut, he would probably flop and be left aside.
So, how does this story ends? With Seongwoo as an actor. And he would be an awesome actor, but let me tell you something, Seongwoo didn’t work his ass off for years now to not even have the chance to debut. He only has been in Fantagio for a short while, but he has been training forever with other agency and preparing himself in dancing academies and singing in f* church chores.
So basically his only opportunity to achieve his dream is through this contest. He is truly desperate and he doesn’t even show it. He doesn’t want us to vote for him out of pity, but because we think he’s worth it. Even when he knows what will happen if he doesn’t debut with pd101, he keeps going with a smile on his face, making us laugh and making us happy.
I say let’s give it back to him, let’s make him happy, let’s help him achieve his dream. Not because he’s a handsome guy that is also nice, but because, as an artist, he’s really worth it. He doesn’t only dance, he makes great choreographies and his singing voice is so special and beautiful. And yes, he is also the handsomest man alive. And yes, he is also the nicest person alive.
So please knetizens, vote for this amazingly talented boy, this is truly his last chance. He’s not like most of these pd101 young beanies that have their whole youth ahead to shine, he’s already 22, and 22 in the kpop industry means old. Some artists such as Lee Taemin already had 7 years of experience when they were 22.
SO PLEASE VOTE FOR ONG SEONGWOO, HE DESERVES IT SO MUCH AND THE INDUSTRY WILL LOSE A REAL GEM IF HE DOESN’T DEBUT.
