SEOUL, Korea - Wednesday June 19, 2024 - The South Korean actor Na Inwoo will begin recruiting for his official fan club, NWOO-RUNGJI, through b.stage, a total fandom business solution.

Fans of the actor will be able to sign up for the fan club through the link announced on his official website built with b.stage. Those who join will have access to membership-exclusive content and will be able to interact with Na Inwoo himself through live chats and private messages via b.stage POP, a real-time fandom communication feature.

Prior to the official fan club recruitment, Na Inwoo held a global fandom name contest on b.stage using the Survey feature. Na Inwoo personally reviewed the various opinions submitted by the fans and participated in selecting the fandom name. The official fandom name, NWOO-RUNGJI, chosen by Na Inwoo himself, symbolizes a bond between the actor and his fans that is strong on the outside and enduring on the inside, like pressed "nurungji" (scorched rice). It also refers to fans who have become "nurungji" by staying close to Na Inwoo.
