Song Kang is preparing for this new chapter

Song Kang’s last public appearance was on February 6 at the GODIVA Samsung Town in Gangnam for the 2024 Valentine’s Day & White Day press event. Dressed in a romantic, all-white suit with a black tie and shoes, Song Kang charmed fans with his prince-like visuals.

During the event, he struck various poses for the cameras. He even saluted photographers while holding a heart-shaped box of GODIVA chocolates. Initially, Song Kang raised his left hand because he was holding the chocolates with his right. The photographers then reminded him that soldiers usually salute with the right hand. He quickly switched hands, smiling sheepishly at his mistake.

Since his debut in 2017 with the tvN drama The Liar and His Lover, Song Kang has captivated audiences the world over with his roles in popular series such as Love Alarm and Sweet Home, not to mention Nevertheless and Forecasting Love and Weather.

As the actor prepares for this new chapter, fans and supporters wish him a safe and fulfilling service period. – K-Pop News Writer

Confronted by a compelling voice that claims to have been eagerly awaiting his arrival, Hyun-soo remains resolute, seeking guidance on the path ahead.
