Song Kang is showcasing his status as a top trendsetter with his roles in the drama 'My Demon' and the Netflix series 'Sweet Home' Season 2. Both projects have ranked high in the Netflix TOP 10 series in countries like South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan. T

hey have also achieved high rankings in the comprehensive actor popularity rankings published by Good Data Corporation on their official platform FUNdex (Fandom Index). Moreover, Song Kang's personal SNS follower count is continuously rising, proving his global popularity.

In 'My Demon' and 'Sweet Home' Season 2, Song Kang displays his versatility as an actor, ranging from sweet romantic comedies to intense creature features. In 'My Demon,' he plays the role of Jung Gu-won, a perfect and deadly demon. His unintended arranged meeting with the devil-like heiress Do Do-hee (Kim Yoo-jung) starts a relationship that grows closer through unexpected events.

In this role, Song Kang enhances Gu-won's charm with his deep melodramatic gazes, expressions, comic actions, and stunning visuals, intriguingly portraying the romance between these two fated characters.

Meanwhile, in 'Sweet Home' Season 2, he continues the emotional journey of his character, Cha Hyun-soo, from Season 1. Song Kang portrays Hyun-soo, who chooses a lonely life as an infected individual, going to Bamseom Special Disaster Base to find a solution to the monster crisis and end it. 

His portrayal particularly captures Hyun-soo's internal conflict as he hides while protecting Eun-yu (Go Min-si) without revealing himself, as mentioned in an interview. This deep understanding and study of the character bring to life Hyun-soo's dedication and sacrifice to protect people in a devastated world where the lines between humans and monsters, good and evil, are blurred.

Song Kang has captivated the public with his distinct charm and personality in both roles. In addition to these roles, his ongoing challenges in various genres such as romance, creature, and human drama in works like 'Nevertheless,' 'Navillera,' and 'Love Alarm' are diversifying his filmography and raising expectations for his future projects.

Meanwhile, 'My Demon,' starring Song Kang, airs every Friday and Saturday at 10 PM on SBS, and 'Sweet Home' Season 2 is currently streaming worldwide in over 190 countries exclusively on Netflix.
