Song Kang dreamt of acting as he watched TitanicŌĆśs Leonardo DiCaprio and later debuted in the drama, The Liar and His Lover, Āin 2017. As ŌĆ£the Son of Netflix,ŌĆØ he made his presence as an actor while broadening the scale of his appearance through NetflixŌĆÖs original series Love Alarm Āand Sweet Home. Song Kang previously played the role of Sun Oh, an innocent boy, in ĀLove Alarm Āwhich was revealed in 2019. Originally a comic book by Chon Kye Young, the drama illustrates the romance between three people as they come across an app that notifies users once someone within the vicinity of a 10-meter radius has romantic feelings for them. As Song Kang demonstrates high synchronicity with the original character, it was later proven that the competition in the audition for Sun OhŌĆÖs role was 900 to 1. His role of Sun Oh is the one popular boy that is in every school, and Song Kang has brought the protagonist of the high-teen romance to life as he effectively portrayed a certain confusion that arises when falling into a love triangle. While the character could have seemed silly, particularly with heart-fluttering lines like ŌĆ£IŌĆÖll get upset,ŌĆØ and ŌĆ£How are you pretty even while youŌĆÖre eating?ŌĆØ he immersed himself in the character to portray multi-dimensions. Though he was greeted with reactions somewhat disappointed at his acting, he ended the controversy about his acting skills in a year. He came back in 2020 as ĀSweet HomeŌĆśs teenage loner who has not recovered from traumatic experiences from his home and school. As a small human being, Song Kang fantastically depicted the character going back and forth between the Evil Hyunsoo who drives HyunsooŌĆÖs hatred to its maximum, with bold actions and emotional performances of owning his desires. Sweet HomeŌĆśs popularity renewed its record by being the first on ŌĆśNetflix Top 10 ContentsŌĆÖ in 11 countries including South Korea, right after its release. As an actor in his fourth year since debut, Song Kang caught the eyes of international viewers as he illustrated a ŌĆ£monsterfied human being.ŌĆØ Song KangŌĆÖs schedule for the upcoming year is also actively filled with work. First, the release of Love Alarm season 2 Āis planned. A more mature appearance of him is expected, as he said that the acting inspiration for the character was between Jo In Jung and So Ji SubŌĆÖs characters in Something Happened in Bali. Furthermore, he will collaborate with experienced actors such as Na Moon Hee and Park In Hwan as he is cast as a 23-year-old who had just joined ballet with a lately realized but extraordinary talent, in tvNŌĆÖs new drama Navillera (literal title). Editor Seo Hayne: I like actors as they faithfully lead through their long running-time. I also like idols who accomplish everything on stage within 3 minutes.
