In addition to a possible award win "A Moment at Eighteen" has also been good for Ong Seung-wu's career in that it earned him another leading performance in the upcoming drama "More Than Friends", which is currently being filmed. In both dramas Ong Seung-wu plays a teenage girl's first love, although in "More Than Friends" he is playing the role over a much longer timeframe.
Ong Seung-wu is cheerful about the apparent typecasting, which even extends to a film project- "Life Is Beautiful - 2020" which was filmed last year. He has said that it's a good feeling knowing that he can evoke such a specific emotion. Ong Seung-wu has also discussed nervousness in regards to doing a song with famed singer Baek Ji-young, and emphasized broad emotions and experiences for the sake of developing his career to come.
