This paper aims to establish the local and global well-posedness theory in $L^1$, inspired by the approach of Keel and Tao [Internat. Math. Res. Notices, 1998], for the forced wave map equation in the ``external'' formalism. In this context, the target manifold is treated as a submanifold of a Euclidean space. As a corollary, we reprove Zhou's [Math. Z., 1999] uniqueness result, leading to the uniqueness of weak solutions with locally finite energy. Additionally, we achieve the scattering of such solutions through a conformal compactification argument.
