Pagkatapos na mag-serve sa kanyang mandatory military service, ang photoshoot para sa Esquire Magazine ang kauna-unahan daw na official work ni Lee Jong Suk.
He was finally discharged last January 2, 2021.
Ang siste, kahit na nagsimula bilang isang modelo, inamin ni Jong Suk na nanibago raw siya sa photoshoot.
“I was very nervous,” pag-amin niya.
“I used to be a model, so I tend to be very comfortable with pictorials. But I was so nervous today that I didn’t know how I moved my body during the first photo.”
Natawa naman ito nang purihin siya sa photo shoot at sabihin mas better looking siya ngayon. Personally, nakita namin siya nang mag-fan meeting sa Pilipinas ilang months bago siya mag-enlist na sobrang payat. Ngayon, mas bagay sa kanya na nag-gain siya ng timbang.
Ayon sa actor, “I think it got a lot better as time went on. I really hope it comes out well. This is the first time my fans are seeing me in two years. I gained 10 kilograms (approximately 22 pounds), so I went on a strict diet that was almost to the point of fasting for days before the photo shoot. This diet was especially hard because we can’t go work out [at the gym] these days. I had to lose weight through home training and a diet regimen, so it felt like my body was drying up.”
Dahil pandemic pa rin tau, limitado lang ang puwedeng gawin at puntahan ni Jong Suk. Pero wala naman din daw siyang gustong gawin ngayong discharged na siya.
At yung time raw niya sa military, nagamit din niya yun para maging relax lang.
Sabi nga niya, “I didn’t have any unique leisure time before the military either. So I don’t really feel bored about not being able to go outside because of the pandemic. I’ve always been thinking about my work and activities. So I was relatively relaxed because I was able to let go of those concerns. All I had to do was my given tasks.”
Tinanong din si Jong Suk during the interview kung meron daw ba itong hindi makakalimutan na karanasan habang nasa military siya.
“Since I was a public service worker, I became interested in social welfare. I also thought about getting a social welfare certificate while serving. I gave up because I had to do 120 working hours on site.”
Hindi rin daw niya makakalimutan na may nag-complaint dahil nakilala kung sino siya at tinutukan kung talaga bang nakakapag-comply siya sa service niya. “In my case, there was someone unique. At the beginning of my service, one person recognized me and sat in the civil service room before I went to work and stayed until I got off work. It was as if they were checking if I got there on time and was doing my duties properly.”
Ang huling drama ni Jong Suk bago pumasok ng military ay ang “Romance is a Bonus.” Sa ngayon, hindi pa raw niya alam what ahead his future in-terms of his career. Inamin nito na dati, naging very hard daw siya sa sarili pagdating sa acting niya.
“I don’t know what will happen in the future. I hope I can be more comfortable than before. There was a time when I looked at the camcorder and re-watched my acting a 100 times. I became more distressed because I blamed myself.”
Natatawang sabi pa niya, “I’m trying to do that less now in order to love myself. I think I’ve been treating myself harshly because I thought that was self-objectification.”
So far, wala pang nababalitang comeback niya sa telebisyon. Pero sa pelikula, pinag-uusapan na gagawin niya ang “Decibel” kasama sina Kim Rae Wion, Jung Sang Hoon at Park Byung Eun.
