The star greeted both fans and the press with a big smile on his face, looking great as always in his military uniform on the morning of October 31, at approximately 9AM KST. 

He said during his press interview (above), "During my service, I lived with countless imaginations in my head about what I would do or what I would want to do once I was discharged, but now that I've actually been discharged, I don't have any particular thoughts in my head. Even right now, receiving my discharge notice and my soldier badge and being in front of you all, doesn't feel quite real. I think that once I return home and greet my parents, and take some time to let it sink in, that's when I'll be able to accept the reality of it. All in all, I was able to return safely without any injuries thanks to your love and support this past year and nine months, and I was able to receive a lot of good energy in the special forces. With that energy and the learning, I will prepare so that I can greet you all as quickly as possible with work. Thank you to all who came out this morning, and before my discharge, there were several rumors about me being a stake in the military, or that I will not be discharged, etc, and I am thankful that people waited for me that much; I will prepare hard so that I can respond to that anticipation. Thank you." 

Welcome back, Lee Seung Gi!
