Actor Kim Min-ho expressed his feelings about meeting viewers again in "New Recruit 3."
On the 7th, a production presentation for the Genie TV original drama "New Recruit 3" (written by Yoon Gi-young and Kang Go-eun, directed by Min Jin-ki and Jo Je-uk) was held at The Saint in Sindorim-dong, Guro District, Seoul.
"New Recruit," which originated from the mega-hit animation of the same name, is a hyper-realistic military comedy that portrays the story of a 'gold spoon' new recruit enlisting in a place where all sorts of characters, from good guys to bad guys, come together. The unique characters, the actors' performances that maximize reality, and the delightful comedy seamlessly blend with relatable reality, appealing to the tastes of the public across gender and generation, leading to great love for the entire series.
Returning with the third story amid high expectations, "New Recruit 3" features an unprecedented situation with the transfer of two new recruits and the return of a legendary villain, creating a crisis for the mythical unit. The escalating challenges of military life for Park Min-seok (Kim Min-ho), who is on the brink of promotion to corporal, will unfold dynamically. Above all, director Min Jin-ki, who broke down the barriers between drama and entertainment with "military content," collaborates with comedy master Yoon Gi-young to excite drama fans even more.
Kim Min-ho will once again shine as the 'gold spoon' Park Min-seok, who is a corporal. The difficulty of military life rises sharply as he faces new recruit Kook Min-soo, who threatens his position, and his past with the rookie Moon Bit-na.

Kim Min-ho said, "In season 1, I felt the pressure of being the main character. I was new and the original work was popular, so I approached it aggressively, but I was thankful for the love I received, which exceeded my worries. I relied on other actors to the point that I didn't feel the burden of being the protagonist. We all have the mindset that we are main characters, so we have blended together without pressure or greed," and added, "As seasons 2 and 3 came, my biggest concern is that time has taken a toll on my face compared to season 1. I say I'm managing, but the director buys a lot of drinks, so aging is speeding up. That's why I'm relying heavily on the makeup team. Park Min-seok is now 21, but I am trying to portray that feeling more dramatically by acting as if I were much younger, around elementary school age."
The Genie TV original drama "New Recruit 3" will premiere on the 7th at 10 p.m. on channel ENA, with exclusive free VOD releases right after the broadcast every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. It will also be available on the OTT platform Tving.
