Song Kang enlists in active duty
On the 2nd, Song Kang will enter the recruit training center for active duty service in the army. According to the agency Namoo Actors, no separate official event will be held on this day. Song Kang will enter the hospital privately to prevent safety accidents due to on-site congestion.
The agency said, "We ask for the warm love and support of many people so that actor Song Kang can faithfully perform his national defense duties and return as a more mature and healthy person."
A day before his enlistment, Song Kang also confessed his feelings through a handwritten letter on his official fan cafe. He started by saying, "Songpyeon (fan club nickname)! I'm not sure where to start and what to say. You may have all seen it in the article, but I'm finally leaving."
Song Kang said, "Songpyeon, who has loved me since my debut in 2017 and even after that! I think I am who I am because you are always there. So many memories and time is passing by like a lantern these days."
Song Kang said, "I won't be by your side for a little while, but time comes back quickly. I hope to see you again in person with a grateful and healthy heart. When that time comes, I hope to see you in a happier state than now."
He also said, "There are many things I want to do when I go to the military, and one of them is learning a new language. I don't want to waste the year and a half. Our Songpyeons also have a lot of meaningful time during that period, such as doing things they want to do, finding themselves, etc. “I hope this happens,” he said.
Song Kang said, "The meaning of Songpyeon is song: river, and pyeon: fan. It is a meaningful name, so let's think of each other, and I will always be there! I will return safely, healthily, and happily! I love Songpyeons! Always."
Song Kang debuted in the 2017 drama ‘She Loves Lies Too Much.’ He then appeared in the Netflix series 'Love Alarm', 'Sweet Home', and the dramas 'I Know' and 'My Demon'.
