But as you said, Sunho's character seems more compelling, and I mentioned this somewhere else, I believe YSJ's character underwent more major transformations, each stage delivered by him in an excellent way, and I believe both were given the chance to shine and show what they've got in a different way.

Hi, I just found out today about your interesting conversation from last year with mademoiselleasia about Se Jong and My Country. Although it's a bit late – and I feel sorry for that –, I wanted to add a few remarks.

 

I agree with your comment above saying that Se Jong's character underwent more major transformations than Seon Ho throughout My Country. Hwi's transformation is indeed spectacular and extremely touching, and Se Jong acted this brilliantly. I see no other actor of his age capable of that right now. The director seemed to know it since he wanted to have Se Jong so badly as Hwi, adding that it was a very difficult role.

 

As for me, I found Hwi’s character much more complex and compelling than Seon Ho’s. I understand why people would care for Seon Ho since the type of struggles he has to endure are clear from the get-go and well developed during the drama. However, although Hwi looks like a typical hero at the very beginning, he becomes more unpredictable and multi-dimensional as time flies. His change is very deep and striking up until the last episode, where he looks so mature but also so tired and vulnerable.

I like the fact that Hwi keeps his values even when he’s suffering so much, and even when he’s revealing his dark side while getting lost into his desire of revenge. By the way, I found Se Jong’s acting incredibly great in episodes 9 and 10, when he is looking for his sister after getting poisoned and then desperately confronts Nam Jeon. He is also marvelous in the last episodes.

 

I remember reading a lot of comments in Korean under the Naver clips of My Country. There was a lot of praise for Se Jong’s acting. A lot. Some praising his beautiful emotional acting, some finding him so cool with a sword, some admiring his chemistry with JH, etc. I even posted a few comments myself.

The Korean press articles were also full of praise for Se Jong’s acting. I read them with delight and I will re-read them again. I appreciated how well the journalists were able to put their finger on the unique points of his subtle performance.

I want to add that up until now, I’ve also read a lot of comments, in English or in my language, saying that they fell for Se Jong thanks to his performance in My Country. Some people had a real shock while discovering him in this drama.

It is true that there were also a few bad comments, but I think that some of them were coming from fans of his co-stars, since he was the lead above popular actors. I’ve observed the same pattern during the TOL era. There was a lot of bitterness ("he should be the lead", blablabla), whereas I’ve never seen Se Jong’s fans dissing any of his co-stars.

 

I agree with one of you saying that it is a bit early for Se Jong to win a Daesang now. From my point of view, he is already at this level, acting-wise, but it’s true that winning a big prize too early can bring unexpected damage to a career.

As for his popularity, I could write a lot about it. I am glad he doesn’t have SNS like other young stars. He is different. He is not selling himself for the sake of popularity, and this has become so rare nowadays. He also seems to be a very sensitive person, and SNS is especially bad for sensitive people. I hope he keeps protecting himself well like he already does. Of course, I can’t wait to seeing him in more projects, dramas and movies.

A night where Sejong is being missed. 5+ more months before Sejong returns...

Hi all,

 

After one year without any official news from Yang Se Jong, there is eventually some little update from our actor!

 

There is a rumor saying that Yang Se Jong could join Blossom Entertainment after his discharge, which is scheduled on 15 November 2021. Blossom Entertainment was founded by actor Cha Tae Hyun and his manager in 2012, and is currently Park Bo Gum and Jung So Min's agency. It was also previously Song Joong Ki's agency, so it is definitely not bad.

 

The news spread first through Sports Chosun yesterday. It was translated in English by Koreaboo.

Blossom Entertainement has not confirmed the news, but it is definitely the leading competitor in the race to win this fantastic actor.

 

As you know, Sejong's contract with Good People expired in December 2020. He had received many love calls from Korean entertainement agencies before going to the military, but we were still wondering if he would renew of not (despite the fact that GP's name was erased from his file on Namuwiki and some platforms). Now it's clear that he won't come back to GP.

 

I think Sejong has a unmatched flair for choosing great projects (many Korean journalists seem to agree with me on that), and I'm glad GP allowed him to do so as his popularity was growing. But now, he needs to move further in his career and to be promoted more. Fans were indeed angry at GP for not promoting our actor well.

 

So, let's wait for confirmation. His discharge seems not too far, now...

90 more days, Sejong will complete his military service. ^ ^

2021.08.27 Pride Republic of Korea Army (Narrated by Yang Se Jong)

 

Translation:

We are the Republic of Korea Army loyal to the country and people. 

1. We protect freedom and democracy and become a force for national unity.

2. We have become the victors of ground warfare through actual combat training.

3. We abide by the law and obey the orders of superiors.

4. We defend honor and loyalty, and are firmly united in friendship. I am the Army of the Republic of Korea.

 

Totally unexpected and so awesomely well-narrated!

[mademoisellesia]

As news of My Country co-star, Woo Do Hwan's military service coming to an end in Jan 2022 where Woo Do Hwan technically is now on vacation and does not need to return to the military base, Yang Se Jong who is due to complete his military service on November 15 should also be out by now. Hope to hear casting news from him soon!

2021.11.18 Yang Se Jong Left A Message & Photo of Himself for Fans at His Fan Club

 

Yang Se Jong's message:

 

To all those whom I love! Hello, this is Se Jong.

 

I said that I would come to find you one day and here I am. I’m sure you have a lot of disappointed feelings, but I cautiously believe that you’ll understand me. 

 

I really missed you. Everyone has been doing well, right? I’m happy and relieved to think that I can greet you again with a healthy image after this time has passed. Now that I’m writing this, the fact that I’ve been discharged feels more real. 

 

During my time in the military, I spent each day well while thinking about the people who are cheering me on with unchanged hearts. You gave me a lot of strength. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! 

 

To those who waited steadfastly for me, I will repay them with a good project. And I will keep updating you on how I’m doing. 

 

Everyone! Take care of your health in the cold weather. It’s a difficult and tough time, but I hope everyone will be happy. 

 

As always, thank you and I love you! Be healthy and healthy and happy!
