Military releases Kang Dong-won

After two years of mandatory military service, actor Kang Dong-won finished his final day at the Seoul City Research Institute of Public Health and Environment in Yangjae, southern Seoul, on Monday.

Although his agency told the press he wouldn’t be working his last shift, Kang reportedly went to work as usual and stayed the whole shift. Apparently, the Hallyu actor wanted to say goodbye to his co-workers.

A spokesperson for the research institute told News N that Kang stayed until 6 p.m. like the rest of the public servants who work there.

Kang managed to remain under the radar by entering and leaving the institute through the parking lot.

On the same day, Kang treated his fans to a three minute YouTube clip of him in various locations throughout the city.

The “Gang Dong Won in a Day” video was a surprise for his fans who had waited for Kang since November 2010.

Also set to be released soon is actor Hyun Bin, who will be discharged from the Marine Corps next month.
