Genie TV's original drama 'New Recruit 3' (directed by Min Jin-ki and Jo Je-wook, written by Yoon Gi-young and Kang Go-eun, based on the work by Jang Ppijju, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by A2Z Entertainment and Story Island) has released a main poster announcing the comeback of the New Recruits, who are sure to solidify the comedic discipline.
Returning with high expectations, 'New Recruit 3' unfolds a dynamic portrayal of the skyrocketing military life of Park Min-seok (played by Kim Min-ho), ahead of his promotion to corporal, amidst the unexpected transfers of two new recruits and the comeback of a legendary villain, creating a state of emergency for the Myth Unit. The 'New Recruits' Kim Min-ho, Nam Tae-woo, Lee Sang-jin, Jo Jin-se, Lee Chung-gu, Kim Hyun-kyu, Lee Jung-hyun, Jeon Seung-hoon, and Lee Soo-ji once again carry the hard work with their evolved military life cheat key, as their experience grows. The addition of 'new faces' Kim Dong-jun, Oh Dae-hwan, and Kim Yo-han excites drama fans even further. Most importantly, director Min Jin-ki, who pioneered the 'K-military content' genre, has teamed up with comedy master Yoon Gi-young, raising expectations for the new season.
If the previous teaser video aroused curiosity with the comeback of the legendary villain Seong Yoon-mo (played by Kim Hyun-kyu) and the transfer of a problematic new recruit, the main poster released that day is sure to excite viewers for the returns of the 'Laugh Special Forces' New Recruits. First, the sight of the Myth Unit members filling the area from top to bottom captivates the viewer's attention. With a bright smile, 'military spoon' Park Min-seok stands at the forefront, while Choi Il-gu (played by Nam Tae-woo) captures attention with a different pose as a veteran sergeant. The awkward yet endearing squad leader Oh Seok-jin (played by Lee Sang-jin), the rarely seen poker face Lim Da-hye (played by Jeon Seung-hoon), and the reliable and lovely Park Min-ju (played by Lee Soo-ji) bring back the maximum aura of the New Recruits' unique charm. Notably, 'Love Enthusiast' Jo Baek-ho (played by Oh Dae-hwan), who leads an extreme visual contrast among the new recruits, and the extraordinary presence of Jeon Gyeong-jae (played by Kim Dong-jun) and Moon Bit-na-ri (played by Kim Yo-han) is intriguing. Audiences are eager to see the activities of the 'Laugh Special Forces', who will maintain laughter without leaving any gaps. Furthermore, the inscrutable expression of Seong Yoon-mo, who in the last season directly headed to prison with unprecedented actions, amplifies curiosity even more.
Kim Min-ho returns to play the military spoon 'Park Min-seok,' who is positioned to advance to corporal. He experiences a sharp increase in the difficulty of his military life with the arrival of the 'national spoon' New Recruit Jeon Gyeong-jae and a new recruit Moon Bit-na-ri, who reminds him of his low-tier days. Nam Tae-woo plays the character 'Choi Il-gu,' who continues to face turbulent times even as a veteran sergeant, while Lee Sang-jin plays the warm-hearted squad leader 'Oh Seok-jin', ensuring realism. Returning to the show, along with Kim Hyun-kyu as 'Seong Yoon-mo', who caused a state of emergency in the Myth Unit, and Jeon Seung-hoon as the poker face Private 'Lim Da-hye', brings joy to audiences. Additionally, Lee Soo-ji shines as Park Min-seok's sister and formidable instructor 'Park Min-ju,' showcasing powerful mental strength and physical ability.
The activities of the 'new faces' Kim Dong-jun, Oh Dae-hwan, and Kim Yo-han, who will share the turbulent times as Park Min-seok transitions to becoming a senior soldier, are also anticipated. Kim Dong-jun portrays the global star 'Jeon Gyeong-jae', who has outstanding looks as well as personality and sensibility, while Oh Dae-hwan plays the loving but surprising company commander 'Jo Baek-ho,' newly appointed to the second battalion. Kim Yo-han transforms into the unusual low-tier new recruit 'Moon Bit-na-ri,' who has a timid personality and poor stamina, reminiscent of Park Min-seok's earlier days and showcases his unique acting.
Director Min Jin-ki noted, 'The charm of season 3 comes from the enriched character play with new characters and the enhancement of situational comedy, leading to a more diverse range of incidents.' He added, 'You can also expect a perfect collaboration between the original cast New Recruits and the new actors.'
