On October 1, Song Kang finally completed his eighteenth month of service, and will officially return from military service to acting.
Song Kang began his mandatory military service as an active-duty soldier in April 2024.
He joined active duty in April of last year. Song Kang maintained a public presence throughout his service, appearing in a promotional video for the Ministry of National Defense titled "Call for Defense Assistance." His military service period also made headlines when photos of him with fellow soldier V, BTS member, were revealed.
Song Kang began his acting career in 2017 with the K-drama The Liar and His Lover with Lee Hyun Woo, Red Velvet's Joy, Lee Jong Jin, Lee Seo Won, Hong Seo Young, and Kim Seung Jo.
Song Kang landed his first major role in 2019 in the Korean Netflix drama “Love Alarm”. His continuous work on the platform has earned him the title “Netflix’s son.” He achieved international fame for starring in three seasons of the hit series “Sweet Home,” where he acted with Lee Jin Wook, Lee Do Hyun, Lee Si Young, Go Min Se, and others.
Even when Song Kang was in the army, he still graced his presence with a special appearance in the movie Escape starring Lee Ji Hoon, Ko Kyu Hwan, Hong Za Bin, Seo Hyun Woo, Lee Sung Wook, and Yoo Tae Joo.
Even before his military discharge, Song Kang had already received several project offers to return to the industry.
Last June, media reported that Song Kang's next K-drama would be "Four Hands", which would be directed by Park Hyun Suk (director of "Thieves' Song", "The Stranger Season 2", and "Uncontrollable Love").
Meanwhile, Song Kang has not announced which project will mark his official comeback.
