The authors give a characterization of WM property in Orlicz sequence space. A Banach space \(X\) is said to have the WM property if for any \(x,x_n\in X\), \(|x|=1\), and \(|x_n|\leq 1\) with \(|x+x_n|\to 2\) there is a supporting functional \(f\) at \(x\) such that \(f(x_n)\to 1\). Let \(\Phi\) be the Orlicz function and let \(\Phi^*\) be the complementary function to \(\Phi\) such that both satisfy the \(\Delta_2\) condition. Then the Orlicz sequence space \(l_\Phi\) endowed with the Orlicz norm \(|.|\) has WM if and only if the following conditions hold: If \([a,b]\) is any maximal segment on which \(\Phi\) is affine then (i) \(\Phi^*(\Phi'(a))<\frac 12\) implies that \(b\) is a point of continuity of \(\Phi'_+\), (ii) \(\Phi^*(\Phi'_+(a))+\Phi^*(\Phi'_-(a)) \leq 1\) implies that \(a\) is a point of continuity of \(\Phi'_+\), (iii) if \(\Phi^*(\Phi'_+(a))\geq \frac 12\), \(\Phi^*(\Phi'_-(b))<1\), and \(b\) is also left end-point of an interval where \(\Phi\) is affine then any sequence \((x_n)\) from the unit sphere with \(\Phi^*(\Phi'(b))+\sum \Phi^*(\Phi'_-(x_n))\leq 1\) satisfies that \[ \sum \Phi^*(\Phi'_+(x_n))-\Phi^*(\Phi'_-(x_n))<\Phi^*(\Phi'_+(b)) - \Phi^*(\Phi'_-(b)). \]
