5 August:

Super Junior’s panda bear, Kangin (26; Kim Youngwoon) enlisted in the army last July and recently made a public appearance.

Currently in the military as a active-duty soldier, Kangin committed to supporting the flood recovery from July 28th to August 2nd.

According to a military official, the Hyungchon Village in Seoul was the area where Kangin and his group were assigned to. This area had been damaged the most from the recent storm and was put under intensive flood recovery operation; nearly 300-400 soldiers were assigned to support the citizens.

During this operation, soldiers had to go down to the basement and dig up the mud themselves without the use of equipment; the soldiers worked hard all throughout the weekend to help out in the recovery.

Meanwhile, Kangin, who had voluntarily enlisted after admitting guilt to his DUI and assault charges, didn’t hesitate in going into the dirty mud water and even took the initiative according to his fellow soldiers.

A military official stated, “In Kangin’s case, there was the possibility of some trouble because he is older than most of the soldiers who are also higher than him in ranking. But he’s getting along with the others very well and acts as the youngest soldier of the group”. He also added that he wishes that Kangin will safely finish whats left of his military service and succeed in making his comeback as a singer.

Super Junior’s Kangin and actor Lee Junki, celebrities currently serving their mandatory military service, have been spotted working alongside other soldiers in relief efforts following deadly and damaging floods and landslides in Seoul. Over 400 Army troops traveled to Seoul to help eliminate mud, search for missing civilians, and drain water from flooded land.

So far, the floods and landslides have been blamed for at least forty-one deaths, with others still missing. They have also caused massive power outages, town evacuations, business closings, and extensive property damage in the Seoul area.

Korean news sites reported that Kangin worked dutifully, not hesitating when faced with more difficult tasks. An Army official said, “Kangin is older than other soldiers, so in a lot of cases, other soldiers could feel uncomfortable working with him. However, he usually approaches others first and makes them feel easy to work with, creating good camaraderie.” This is the first time Kangin has appeared in the news since enlisting after a string of arrests and scandals in 2009 and 2010. He sang one song, “A Short Journey”, for Super Junior’s “No Other” repackaged album, but was otherwise barred from the group’s 2010 promotions.

Lee Junki, an actor who shot to stardom through “The King And The Clown”, was also spotted helping with relief efforts. The Korean Defense Media Agency has posted pictures of soldiers in Seoul on their blog, and fans spotted Lee Junki among other soldiers digging up mud around the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts (NCKTPA). As the army continues to assist with flood relief, conditions in Seoul will hopefully improve.

More footage of the army’s relief efforts can be viewed below:

Kangin: I saw the scene through the TV. It’s very devastating and fearfully, it’s not very good information to hear. So immediately, as the incident wasn’t that late, so that people can go back home again to have a good rest, our soldiers did the best that we could do, so that our flood recovery efforts would also pay off.

18 Maret: Super Junior Kangin reveals his current situation after enlisting in the army, claimed to have been reborn

Super Junior Kangin disclosed his current situation. Kangin uploaded a recent photo of him through the army's website and revealed his life in the army via a video interview. As he was talking about his life after enlisting in the army, he said “before entering the army, I have let my family and people who cared about me down, causing them to be disappointed and for this, I have reflected on it many times. Besides that, every night I fall asleep thinking “Will I be able to regain those love and care?”

“I have lost a lot of weight, became healthier and have also come to understand the country better. Although us soldiers often have to go through hardships, need to strive hard and are always on high alert, we will ensure that the citizens of the country will continue to have a peace of mind and have more confidence towards the country.”

“I hope that I can be unselfish, and become someone who does not constantly think of the past mistakes, and at the same time be more understanding towards others. Although I have only enlisted in the army for 6 months, I can already feel that I’m a changed person.”

At the end, Kangin expressed that “fans, I really miss everyone, when I stand before all of you once again, I will stand tall without an ounce of shame. I will be someone who is healthy inside and out.” Although Kangin looked thinner compared to before entering the army in the published photo, he is looking much healthier. Kangin joined the army last July and became a soldier responsible for communication.

17 Maret:

Through Korea’s army magazine, “Army Zine“, Super Junior’s Kangin revealed special photos from his days in service and shared some of the thoughts that have been running through his mind since he last updated fans of his whereabouts.

Asked to describe his feelings after entering the army, he stated, 


“I’m reflecting a lot on the fact that I wounded and disappointed my family


 and all of those who loved me before I enlisted… I go to sleep every night


 wondering, ‘Will I ever be loved again?”

He continued, “I’ve lost a lot of weight since then and have regained my


 health. My thoughts towards our nation has changed a lot as well. I feel that


 the citizens of our nation are able to be at ease and trust our nation because us soldiers must always work hard


 and never once lose focus amidst hardships.”

When asked about what he hoped to learn through his service, he revealed, “I hope to become a


 person that puts others before me. Someone that isn’t selfish and doesn’t think wrongful thoughts. It’s only been


 six months since I’ve entered, but if I were to discharge with the determination I have now, I’m sure that I’ll be


 able to show how much I’ve changed.”


To conclude, Kangin left a message for his fans by writing,“Our fans! I really miss you all so much. I will 


be standing before you all as someone who is both healthy and confident inside and out, so that I won’t be 


embarrassed (of myself) when I greet you. I hope that you will wait for me, and I hope that everything you pursue 


will come true. Please wait for me until my discharge.”

SJ Kangin, Lance Corporal goes to Gangnam for leave, anxiously meets with friends

It is reported that Kangin, who enlisted in the army in July last year, has been honestly and responsibly spending life in the army. At around 7 March, Kangin was awarded with a long-awaited leave and met his friends near Apgujeong-dong to eat.

In regards to this, (he) received enthusiastic responses from fans, “Hope that (you could) have a good time with Super Junior members and your friends”, “Leave some photographs as proof” etc.

Around October last year, Kangin was awarded leave after being in the army for 100 days and published a photograph (of him) with Super Junior member Heechul, which raised discussions. Especially through the photograph which showed (him) looking thin and weak, which lead people to sigh (and say) “Losing weight makes (him look like) a gentler man”.

In addition, after the hit-and-run drunk driving incident last year, Kangin has self-reflected. He enlisted thorugh the army training in Nonsan, Chungnam. After 5 weeks of basic training, Kangin’s request to become a performing arts soldier was rejected, (he is) now serving in the Signal Corps Service Unit.
