Actor Ji Chang-wook has returned to the free world after completing 20 months' mandatory military service on Saturday.
He proudly
walked out of his military base
in Cheorwon, Gangwon Province, with a bright smile on Saturday morning, bowing to fans and reporters.
“I feel like it's surreal that I was discharged,” Ji said. “I thank all my colleagues for making my time in uniform special and meaningful.”
While his release has set off a race of TV and movie directors to cast him, the actor said he would enjoy free time for a while.
Ji debuted in 2008 in a supporting role in the TV drama “You stole my heart” (2008) and has featured in several hit dramas and films, including “Suspicious Partner” (2017) and “Fabricated City” (2017).
