After serving two years as a gunner in the Chulwon GOP unit, singer/actor Kim Jung Hoon returned to civilian life on the morning of February 28th. After greeting his 300 fans, who were cheering and welcoming the star warmly, the newly-discharged serviceman expressed, "Two years ago, when I first entered the military, I did not really feel what was happening. Now that I see all of the fans who have waited for me, I feel a lump in my throat. I completed my service safely, and although there was nothing special as it is something everyone else must do, I hope that my juniors and seniors will remain healthy and do well." He added, "I felt the power of girl groups after I entered. In Chulwon, whenever SNSD appears on TV, there's literally nobody left in the halls. Girl groups are like energizers for soldiers." When asked to choose a favorite girl group, he replied, "I like them all." Kim, who previously acted in the hit drama "Goong", went on to state, "I watched 'Secret Garden' re-runs over the weekend and felt jealous of those who could act. I really was just jealous over the fact that they were able to act, and I desperately wanted to do so as well. I believe I'll begin filming for my next drama in late Spring." Kim will be juggling a busy schedule in the upcoming months. A Japanese fan meeting at the Saitama Super Arena is scheduled for March 14th, followed by various Chinese fan meetings. On April 8th, he will be releasing a new album, followed by Korean activities and fan meetings on the 10th.
