During his time in the military, Song Kang discussed his plans for activities outside of training. He stated,

“There are many things I want to do when I join the military, and one of them is learning a new language. I’m not going to let the year and a half go to waste. I hope that SONGPYEON (fandom name) will also spend the time in a meaningful way, doing what you want to do and finding yourselves.”
