Song Kang, also known as the 'Son of Netflix', is making his highly anticipated return for Sweet Home Season 2. However, fans are saddened to learn that he will be enlisting in the military before Season 3. Like many other popular K-pop idols and actors, Song Kang is fulfilling his mandatory military service in South Korea as he has reached the age limit for enlistment. It is common for actors and celebrities to complete their required two years of service.
Before Song Kang dons the uniform, fans will have the chance to see the actor on the small screen for a while. He will not only be appearing in Netflix's My Demon, but will also reprise his role as Cha Hyun-soo in Sweet Home Season 2.
Given the announcement of the actor's hiatus from K-drama for two years, fans are left wondering if he will come back for Sweet Home Season 3, which has been approved by Netflix.
Will Song Kang star in Sweet Home Season 3?
Netflix announced that Sweet Home Season 2 and Season 3 are confirmed, with Song Kang reprising his role as Hyun-soo for both seasons. During the press conference for Season 2, the actor disclosed that it will be his final project before entering military enlistment.
Kang recently stated to Filmfare, "It's my obligation, once I complete promoting Sweet Home 2, I will fulfill my mandatory duties and return healthy."
Although fans will miss him, Kang won't be entirely absent from the small screen. Sweet Home Season 2 will be the last K-drama he promotes in person, but Sweet Home Season 3 has already been filmed with him. In 2022, it was confirmed that the cast would film both seasons back to back according to Soompi.
Kang won't keep fans waiting for long. Reports from X/Twitter users indicate that Netflix has updated the page for Sweet Home, with Season 3 slated for a Summer 2024 release.
