Girlfriend 

잔잔하게 다가온다                                              
소리가 들려온다
보인다
말을 한다
뛰어온다
파장이 커진다
흥분한다,
꼬인다,
복잡해진다
잠시 바라본다
다시 녹는다
그리고 원점
끝나는 것인가?
아니 시작도 안했다
생각이 깊어진다
그러다 또 다시 파장
머리가 쭈뼛
놀람
질주
세계의끝
여자친구

[ENGLISH]

Approaches quietly
the sound is still audible
look
talk
runs
the heartbeat increases
excited,
entangled,
it's complicated
Look for a moment
melts again
and origin(?)
Is this the end?
it has not even started
thinks deeply
then again the heartbeat
the mind is hesitant(?)
surprised
scampered(?)
World's End

"Kim Nam Gil, he's coming back soon".

Kim Nam Gil who is currently in the public service and soon to be discharge on July, celebrated his birthday last March 13. His fans organized a surprised event.

According to Kim Nam Gil's agency, fans posted a poster in Metro subway line 7 at Gangnam-gu Seoul with the phrase written ‘김남길, 그가 곧 돌아옵니다’ (Kim Nam Gil, he's coming back soon). This voluntary advertising event will proceed until April.

Also in Japan, they celebrated Kim Nam Gil's birthday along with the Shin-Okubo event to promote the Japan-Korean joint production drama "Red and Black" (Bad Guy)

Even those overseas fans from Hungary also sent their congratulatory videos. Kim Nam Gil who's been congratulated by his fans said, " After my public service, I will return to my fans and I promise to have a better side then".

And already, the company has been working on a lot of advertising proposals for Kim Nam Gil, as well as overseas promotions.

It's really good to see that despite the absence of Kim Nam Gil in public, he's still being well-loved and remembered by his fans not just in Korea but all over the world. He's comeback is indeed highly anticipated. I really can't wait for July to come...

Discharged in July and August

Big fish are returning to the entertainment biz where there is currently a famine in actors.

Kim Nam-gil and Kang Dong-won who are serving military duty as public service officers are being discharged in July and August. Several movie, drama and advertisement productions are busy on their feet's trying to get them to star in their projects.

Kim Nam-gil who will start being active since July will start promoting his drama "Bad Man" which he starred in before his admittance to the military. Details of the schedule are still under negotiation. Kim Nam-gil has become popular in Japan through the drama "Queen Seon-deok" and he plans on targeting the Japanese market as well as the international one once he's out and active again.

Kang Dong-won is very likely to come back with a movie once he is out. Several movie companies have offered him deals since the start of the year. Kang Dong-won is known to have many loyal fans through his movies, "Jeon Woo Chi: The Taoist Wizard", "Secret Reunion" and "Haunters". His continuous appearances in advertisements also helped it feel like he was never gone that long on military service, therefore the reason why he hasn't been forgotten among many medias and productions.
