Actor Song Kang, who recently joined the military, gave fans a glimpse into his life just before enlisting, including the emotional moment he shaved his head.

On June 12th, Namoo Actors' YouTube channel posted a video titled "Song Kang receives a birthday gift from 'Songpyeon'," showing the actor's preparations before his enlistment.

In the video, filmed before he joined the army, Song Kang celebrated with his fan club, 'Songpyeon', by making a cake and a mood lamp. He also shared updates about his life and future plans.

When asked what he's been up to at home, he said, "I've started studying English again. After I get discharged, I really want to live in Europe for a month. It's my dream."

He added, "Learning about cultural differences is exciting for me, and knowing English will help me communicate better."

This year marks the 8th anniversary of Song Kang's debut. Reflecting on his career, he said, "Now that it's been 8 years, the company feels like home."

Despite the years, his passion for acting remains strong. He admitted, "I usually lose interest in things quickly, but that never happened with acting. Acting makes me feel alive, and that's why I keep pushing forward."

Song Kang also wrote a heartfelt letter to his fans, expressing his feelings more accurately through writing.

In the letter, he said, "By the time you get this letter, I won’t be with you, but I’ll always be with Songpyeon in spirit. Time will pass, whether it feels short or long." He encouraged his fans to stay healthy and promised they would reunite with happy hearts.

The video also showed Song Kang's head-shaving process before enlisting. Heading to the salon, he shared, "I went to the gym right after waking up and then came here. This is the second time I’m shaving my head; the first was before high school. It feels nostalgic."

At the salon, Song Kang first cut his bangs short and looked at his reflection with despair, saying, "Oh! Do I look like this?" He tried taking a selfie but then decided against it, looking downhearted.

After the full shave, he seemed to find his new look awkward, constantly touching his head. However, he quickly showed determination, saying, "I'll work hard and do well. Now that my head is shaved, I feel more at ease. Take care, Songpyeon," as he bid farewell to his fans.

Song Kang officially enlisted in the Army on April 2nd.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
