Gong Myung "Worried about military service? I wasn't anxious."

Actor Gong Myung revealed that he had no worries about returning from military service.

On the morning of the 22nd, Gong Myung met with Ten Asia at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul and conducted an interview regarding the movie 'Citizen Deok-hee' and told various stories.

Gong Myung returns with ‘Citizen Deok-hee’. Although it was filmed before enlistment, it will be released after discharge, so we are working on a promotional schedule such as stage greetings and interviews.

On this day, Gong Myung said, “I feel lucky,” and added, “It feels really good to be able to do stage greetings and production presentations together before the release. I’m glad that it was released at a very appropriate time.”

Usually, male celebrities take a gap year after enlisting in the military. Was there any anxiety about this? He brought out laughter by emphasizing, "I'm not conceited," and "I've never lowered my self-esteem or confidence. I try not to think of it that way. I'm definitely not conceited."

He also mentioned his time in the military. Gong Myung joked, “My first thought was, ‘When will I be discharged?’” He continued, "It was a time when I realized the gratitude and importance of what I do. 'Hansan: Rise of the Dragon' and 'Killing Romance' were released while I was in the military. Rather than wanting to go out and act quickly, I wanted to be able to work on projects before I came to the military. “I was once again grateful to be there. I was inside, but I was grateful that the audience was able to see the work from outside,” he said.

'Citizen Deok-hee' is a thrilling chase drama that unfolds when Deok-hee, an ordinary citizen who has been subjected to voice phishing, receives a rescue request from Jae-min, a member of a scam organization. Gong Myung played the role of Jaemin, both the perpetrator and the victim, adding to the thrill of the drama.

Meanwhile, 'Citizen Deokhee' will be released on the 24th.
