Actor Song Kang is all set to swap his acting hat for a military helmet. He recently took to his fan cafe to share a heartfelt letter, expressing his mixed feelings about his upcoming enlistment.
Kicking off with a candid confession, "I'm not sure where to start," Song Kang didn't hold back. He acknowledged the news of his enlistment, which fans would have caught wind of, and expressed his deep gratitude to his fan club, Songpyeon.
He reminisced about his journey since his debut in 2017, saying, "I feel like I exist because you all are always there. So many memories, time is passing by like a film strip."
He also shared a sweet ritual he's been following lately - writing a gratitude diary before bed. He's been counting his blessings, especially the love and support from Songpyeon. From birthdays and anniversaries to fan meetings, he feels his 20s have been filled with meaningful moments, thanks to his fans.
Song Kang reassured his fans, saying, "I won't be by your side for a while now, but time will come back quickly, so I hope to see you again with a grateful and healthy heart. I hope to see a happier me than now when that time comes."
He also revealed his plans for his time in the military, one of which is learning a new language. He's determined not to let the year and a half go to waste and hopes that his fans will also spend this time doing what they love and finding themselves. He promised to return healthily, carefully, and happily.
In the meantime, Song Kang is scheduled to enlist as an active duty soldier in the army on April 2nd. His agency, Namoo Actors, announced that there will be no official event on the day of his enlistment due to safety concerns.
They urged fans to continue showing their warm love and support as Song Kang fulfills his national defense duty and promised that he will return more mature and healthy.
