Actors produce albums to make up for long breaks

Male stars who are to enter military service at the end of 2008 are busy with last-minute activities. Seong Shi-kyeong and Jo Hyeon-jae are preparing albums, and Eric Moon, Lee Dong-geon, and Kim Rae-won are in dramas.

Jo Hyeon-jae, who ended "Three Dads, One Mom" is busy with Japanese fan meetings and album preparations. He met Japanese fans, in Osaka on the 22nd, Tokyo on the 23rd, and Nagoya on the 27th. He is also secretly preparing an album. His songs he revealed at the Japanese fan meetings, 'Beside You Like the Wind' and 'Words You Said', are ballads that were revealed through soundtracks and digital singles.

Kim Rae-won, Lee Dong-geon, and Eric Moon are the main characters of the Monday-Tuesday dramas. "Gourmet", "When It's At Night", and "Strongest Chil Woo" are all their last works before military service and more meaningful. Although there will be only one winner for ratings but all three will remain in our memories.

For male stars, two years of inactivity is a burden. They feel pressure at the mere fact that they're resting for two years and that they must make an outstanding comeback. Breaks give economic damage to the companies, who invested a lot of money in the stars' contracts.

For this reason, singers try to make up for long breaks with albums. Although they are not there, we can still listen to their music. Actors participate in noticeable projects so they can confirm their place as accomplished actors. That way, their comeback after military service becomes easier. But of course, these include monetary relations.
