Actor Seo Kang Joon, often dubbed the "Face Genius" alongside stars like Cha Eunwoo from ASTRO and Jisoo from BLACKPINK, is making quite the anticipated return. After a noticeable hiatus, which raised questions among fans and industry insiders alike, it’s clear that directors were eager for his comeback.
Seo made waves when he first stepped onto the small screen, quickly proving that he was more than just a pretty face. His impressive acting abilities paired with stunning visuals propelled him into the spotlight. However, the actor temporarily stepped back from the limelight to fulfill his mandatory military service, which he entered in November 2021.
During his service, excitement among fans began to swell, particularly when he reemerged online with a heartfelt message and a video, revealing that he was overwhelmed with project offers while in uniform. His popularity during this time showcased just how in-demand he is as an actor.
In a recent interview with Esquire Korea, Seo looked every bit the star, reiterating his eagerness to jump right back into work after his discharge. “I want to start working immediately—even if that means no rest,” he expressed, reflecting his commitment to his craft.
A notable moment during the interview highlighted just how much attention he received while serving: a staggering 100 project proposals. “I was truly flattered,” he said, sharing his astonishment at the number of offers pouring in.
Seo hinted at exciting projects that could be in the works, teasing fans with the possibility of seeing him in new roles soon. “There are a lot of good projects proposed to me, and I’m thrilled about it,” he noted, adding to the anticipation surrounding his return to the screen.
After nearly two years away, Seo Kang Joon is officially back! Fans recently got a glimpse of him in Undercover High School, demonstrating that while it took thoughtful deliberation to select his comeback role, the wait was undoubtedly worth it. His meticulous approach shows not only his dedication to acting but also his desire to keep enchanting audiences. As the spotlight returns to him, the excitement around his next steps is palpable, leaving fans eager for what’s to come.
