2PM member and actor Ok Taecyeon has returned to his fans after completing his approximately 20-month service in the White Horse Division.

Ok Taecyeon greeted fans in front of the White Horse Hall in Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, on the morning of the 16th, having completed his service.

Hundreds of fans had gathered at the site since early morning to see Ok Taecyeon.

Fans waited with excitement, preparing flashy placards.

Not only domestic fans but also a considerable number of international fans visited the site, showcasing the popularity of "Hallyu star Ok Taecyeon."

Ok Taecyeon appeared at 8:45 AM, wearing his military uniform, looking more dignified than before he enlisted,

and was met with loud cheers from his fans. Ok Taecyeon smiled at the fans who had waited for him for a long time,

and although there were no separate events, he expressed his gratitude to the fans and reporters who visited early in the morning.

First, Ok Taecyeon saluted powerfully with "Victory!" and said, "I couldn't sleep well. I'm nervous.

It's been so long since I've stood in front of a camera, I don't know how to pose. I still don't feel it's real.

Maybe I'll feel it when I hear my alarm tomorrow morning."

He also said, "First, I am grateful to all the fans who waited for me,"

and added, "I can't believe so many people came today. I will show you my face again soon."

Regarding being selected as a model soldier during his service, he said humbly, "Many soldiers in my unit helped me.

I became a model soldier because of them."

When asked if he was "suited for military life," he continued, "I heard the phrase 'suited for military life' so many times.

My senior comrades said that." He added, "I guess I can take off my military shirt now."

When asked if he knew the nickname "Captain Korea," Ok Taecyeon replied,

"I know it. It's a very burdensome nickname. I don't think I deserve it,

but I will try to become more worthy of it." He added,

"I think people who saw photos of me working out a lot at the time gave me that nickname. I'm thankful."

The people he misses the most are the 2PM members and the junior group TWICE.

Ok Taecyeon said, "I miss the remaining 2PM members. Currently, two members are serving in the military, but

I really miss the rest of the members. My beloved members, let's get together soon and show you a great performance!" he said to the camera.

When asked which girl group he wanted to see the most, he replied, "I wanted to see TWICE the most.

We couldn't meet due to scheduling conflicts, but they sent me videos. Thank you," he said, expressing his affection for the juniors at his agency, JYP Entertainment.

Notably, 2PM member Chansung appeared on this day, drawing attention.

Ok Taecyeon shared a warm hug with Chansung, sharing the joy of their reunion.
