On the 1st, Song Kang posted a handwritten letter on his fan cafe
Below is Song Kang's full letter:
Songpyeon!
I'm pondering where to begin...!
You probably saw the news, but I'm finally going!
To the Songpyeon who have loved me since my debut in 2017 and even after that!
I feel like I exist because you're always there.
These days are passing like a dream, filled with many memories.
I always write a gratitude diary before bed these days.
There are so many things to be thankful for to our Songpyeon.
Birthdays, anniversaries, fan meetings, and other significant times in my twenties were all filled with meaningful moments thanks to you.
I won't be by your side for a short while now, but time will fly by quickly.
I hope to see you again with grateful and healthy hearts.
I hope that when that time comes, I'll be even happier than I am now.
I have many things I want to do in the military, and one of them is learning a new language.
I don't want to waste this year and a half.
I hope our Songpyeon will also have meaningful times during this period, doing what they want to do and finding themselves.
The meaning of Songpyeon is SongKang+ Pyeon: the Korean word for one’s side. Fans will always have his back, such a meaningful name, so let's think of each other, I'll always be here!
I will return safely, carefully, and happily!
Love you, Songpyeon! Always.
