Super Junior’s Kangin has returned to the army today (12th August) after having a 5 days 4 nights break.

Kangin, who is currently serving the army under the Water Prevention team as the signalman, went on a break on the 8th. He rested at home for 5 days 4 nights and had met up with friends during free-time, especially the Super Junior members who made a comeback with their new song “Mr. Simple” recently. It was reported that Kangin had helped the members generously.

Before Kangin took a break, videos of him providing aid for floods prevention to the locals at Seoul’s downtown areas in a warm manner were uploaded to the internet, which has also became a topic for the public. Part of the public had witnessed how Kangin had done the restoring job seriously while sweating hardly and they conveyed the content to the public through twitter.

A SM Entertainment spokesman expressed that “After having a 5-day, 4-night break, he had already returned to the troop safely”, he had also said that “It has been understood that he is currently living the military life healthily”.

In addition, Kangin entered the army on 5th July last year thus he will be out from the army on 16th April 2012.

Back in July 2010, Kangin (age 26, real name Kim Youngwoon) entered the army. He was the first Super Junior member who enlisted in the army and recently, he made an appearance during a flood relief.

Currently, Kangin is serving the army and he participated in a military’s flood relief from 28 July to 2 August.

A representative of the army revealed that Kangin was one of the 300-400 troops to be sent on duty to Seoul’s downtown area, which was greatly affected by the flood. The troops focused on rebuilding the area and providing aid to the victims.

During this period, it was not easy for the military equipment to enter the affected area. The army then volunteered to dig out the mud. They continued with the flood relief, without even resting during weekends.

Kangin volunteered to enter the army after being involved in a fight and a hit-and-run incident in 2009, causing the public to condemn him. However, Kangin has shown a positive side of him during this flood relief. He went into dirty water without any hesitation and worked doubly hard with his fellow team mates.

At the moment, Kangin is temporarily posted to the army headquarters to perform in military entertainment events, leading a fruitful army life. An army representative said, “Sometimes, Kangin will play the role of a good boy (in a joking manner). He gets along with his fellow mates very well. I think he will be able to succeed again after his military discharge.”
