SA kauna-unahang pagkakataon matapos ang kanyang military discharge last April 27 ay humarap na si Ji Chang Wook sa camera at nagbigay ng update sa kanyang mga fans.

Last May 15 ay nagkaroon ng live streaming ang aktor sa V-live at nakipag-chat sa kanyang mga fans. Ibinahagi niya na kasalukuyan na siyang naghahanda para sa kanyang comeback sa small screen via Melt Me ng tvN.

“After my discharge, I met up with a lot of people and did some chores that had been pushed back. I’m working on various things and preparing for my drama. Filming will begin soon. It’s for a drama called Melt Me. It’s about frozen humans, and I think it’ll be really interesting,” pagbabalita ng aktor.

Nagkuwento rin siya ng ilang karanasan niya habang nasa loob ng military.

Kuwento ni Ji Chang Wook, may pagkakataon daw na apat na araw siyang hindi nag-shower.

Kuwento ng aktor, “There was an instance in which we were dispatched to Cheorwon, and many things happened there. I did my first outdoor training, and for four to five days I didn’t sleep or wash up. It was difficult, but it was fun.”

Ang isa pa niyang ibinahagi, tumaba raw siya habang nasa military.

“I gained 12 kilograms while I was in the military. Because I gained that weight, I worked out a lot to lose it before I (was) discharged,” he said.

May mga fans na nag-comment na “Thank you for protecting your face while in the military” at sagot niya, “I did my best, but the effects of time are inevitable. I’ll work hard to maintain my appearance and protect my face even better.”

Napag-usapan din ang upcoming first event niya after discharge at ito ay ang kan­yang fan meeting titled Invitation: Late Spring, Early Night (literal translation) na gaga­na­pin sa May 19 sa Blue Square iMarket Hall in Seoul.

May mga fans na nagko-complain na wala na silang makuhang tickets dahil sa liit ng venue at nagpaliwanag si Ji Chang Wook tungkol dito.

“I think this is my fault. My agency suggested that I do it in a large space, but I was worried that tickets wouldn’t sell because it’s my first fan meeting in a while. So, I told them that I wanted to do it in the smallest place possible. I think it’s because of me, so I’m sorry,” saad ng aktor.

Pero kahit naman daw maliit ang venue, sini­siguro niyang masisiyahan ang kanyang mga fans.

“I personally picked the set list for the fan meeting. It’s the result of lots of contemplation as to what songs would be nice to sing for you. After thinking about it, I thought it would be good to sing together,” sabi pa ng favorite K-actor ni Jinkee Pacquiao.

Kabilang daw sa repertoire niya ang kanyang track na I’ll Protect You from the Healer OST (Original Sound Track) at ang “Good” ng Daybreak.

Excited na rin ang aktor sa kanyang guesting sa Channel A’s variety show na The Fishermen and the City kung saan ay makakasama niya ulit ang senior actor na si Lee Deok Hwa na isa sa mainstays ng show.

“Lee Deok Hwa is like my father, and he has said for a long time that we should go fishing together. I also haven’t fished in awhile, so I thought I should go fishing with him after my discharge and chose (to go on the show). I’m nervous and looking forward to it,” pahayag ng aktor.
