Actor Song Kang shared his thoughts on his upcoming military service plan.

Netflix’s original series “Sweet Home 2” depicts a world where humans with desires become monsters centering on Cha Hyun-soo (Song Kang), a Green Home survivor and a special infectious case who can go back and forth between monster and human forms, and his struggles when facing new beings and mysterious phenomena in a new place.

While talking about his future plan in an interview after the release of “Sweet Home 2”, Song Kang mentioned his military service, saying “I’m not upset about the timing of the enlistment. It was also my choice to not enlist in the past years. My life motto is not to regret my own choices. It’s my decision so I don’t regret it at all. I did my best in every moment so there is nothing to regret.”

When asked about the character he wants to challenge after getting discharged from the military, the actor shared, “I want to play a simple villain. I also think the role of a soldier would be very interesting”.

Regarding his feelings about not being able to participate in the promotion of “Sweet Home Season 3” because of his military service, Song Kang confessed, “I think I’ll be very sad. It’s too bad that I can’t be there with the team although I also worked hard on the drama with them. However, I hope Season 3 comes out well and there will be many changes. I may feel lonely but I’m satisfied to see the results.”

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
