According to the Korean tabloid Soompi, the conference was also attended by PD (producing director) Yoo In Sik and cast members Han Suk Kyu, Ahn Hyo Seop, Lee Sung Kyung, So Ju Yeon, Jin Kyung, Im Won Hee, Yoon Na Moo, and Lee Hong Nae.

During the conference, Kim Min Jae was asked what Han Suk Kyu means to him, to which he replied, “He is a mentor that I want to take all the good adjectives in the world to describe him with.” Further, Han Suk Kyu also expressed his gratitude sharing, “I feel like I’m suddenly tearing up. I am so grateful to Kim Min Jae.”

As the report notes, Han Suk Kyu then continued without knowledge of Kim Min Jae’s undisclosed military enlistment plans, and said, “When I met Kim Min Jae during Season 1, there was a point where I told him, ‘Hurry up, and go to the military,’ but he is going to the military in July.” Seeing Kim Min Jae’s flustered expression, Han Suk Kyu added, “Was that something that shouldn’t have been said?”

Kim Min Jae then sweetly responded, “I think this will become the last project of my 20s. Of course, it is not definitive. I was thinking a lot about how to convey [this news], but I think it is a relief [Han Suk Kyu] shared it. I think this project that I began my 20s with will also be the last project [of my 20s].”

Soon after on April 26, Kim Min Jae’s label YAMYAM Entertainment clarified reports about his enlistment and shared, “A warrant was issued earlier this year, but I applied for a delay due to the filming of the work. It’s true he’s considering joining the military in the second half of this year, but it’s not been confirmed as July.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Romantic 3 premieres on April 28 at 10 p.m. KST.
