Seo Kang Joon Shares Thoughts on His Mandatory Military Enlistment
Seo Kang Joon held a live broadcast on Instagram to give his fans a final update before he enlists to fulfill his mandatory military service.
The actor stated, "I'm going to fulfill my military duty, which every healthy Korean man must do. I wanted to say farewell before enlisting in the military soon."
As his live stream was held on the same day as the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) 2022, the actor also narrated his own experience taking the exam. He shared, "It's been exactly ten years since I did it. After it was over, I was relieved."
"I felt empty, too. The CSAT ends your elementary, middle, and high school life. I had a lot of concerns on what to do next. I also remember feeling regretful I did not prepare for it really well," he added.
He closed the topic with encouraging words, "The CSAT is not everything in life. Don't get too stressed over it and I hope you spend your 20s well."
The actor then talked about his new short haircut. Seo Kang Joon said he'd been wanting to cut his hair short but didn't have the opportunity.
