The recent status of actor Song Kang, who is serving in the military, has been revealed. Appearing in content from the Defense Media Agency, Song Kang has become more mature and exudes a strong masculinity, increasing expectations for his post-service career.
On the 9th, a video titled 'The Day When Song Kang Was in the Military: The Last Battle of the Daehan Empire Army that Occurred in Namdaemun' was released on the YouTube channel 'KFN'.
In 'The Day When You Were in the Military,' conducted under the concept 'Story of the Day When You Bite Your Tail,' Song Kang served as a storyteller and introduced his story friend Ha Sung-woon about the disbandment of the Daehan Empire Army, the battle of Namdaemun, and the last resistance to defend national sovereignty.
Song Kang conveyed that on August 1, 1907, the Daehan Empire Army was forcibly disbanded due to pressure from Japan, leading to the tragic battle of Namdaemun fought by soldiers resisting this action. This battle is recorded as the final struggle of the Daehan Empire Army to protect national sovereignty and a historical event showcasing their strong will to resist Japanese invasion.
Song Kang, who holds the rank of corporal, varied his emotions according to the flow of the story to enhance engagement. The spectacular and moving narrative felt like watching a movie, and Song Kang noted that although the battle of Namdaemun ended in defeat, the noble sacrifices and spirit of the Daehan Empire soldiers who resisted until the end to protect national sovereignty resonate strongly with us today.
Song Kang enlisted as an active-duty soldier in the Army on April 2 last year and is currently serving. With his discharge approaching on October 1, Song Kang boasted a tall visual with a short haircut, almost mocking the saying 'a man’s looks are defined by his hairstyle.' In particular, he now exudes a strong masculinity, contrasting the pretty-boy image he had before enlistment, capturing attention.
After his discharge in October, Song Kang is considering returning with a new drama titled 'Four Hands.' 'Four Hands' refers to the technique where two individuals perform together on one piano. As the title suggests, it is a work depicting the friendship, love, competition, and growth of youth who meet at an art high school.
It is reported that Song Kang has been offered the role of a piano prodigy in the drama. The agency Namoo Actors explained, 'It is true that we have received the project proposal, and it is one of the projects under consideration.'
Meanwhile, Song Kang debuted in 2017 through the tvN series 'She Loves Lies Too Much.' Since then, he has appeared in the drama series 'If You Like It, It Rings,' 'Sweet Home,' 'Navillera,' 'Nevertheless,' 'Korea Meteorological Administration People: Office Romance Tragedy Edition,' and 'My Demon.'
