Kangta, lead vocalist of old-school boy band H.O.T, was discharged from the army on the 19th, but is already diving head-first back into work. The 30-year-old singer/composer/actor has attended several fan meetings in Korea during this week alone. Additionally, his official website (www.kangta.smtown.com) was updated with pictures from a photoshoot and a personal voice message� for the many fans who awaited his return.

[From. KANGTA] It's been a while. (Voice message) [� To. Partner ] Hello~ It's been a while since I greeted you. This is Kangta. I have always referred to everyone as my partner, but I don't know if all of you have been doing well. Having been separated from everyone for 2 years, I am finally meeting you again through this voice message, but I feel awkward right now, more so than in the past. Throughout the 2 years in the army, I was always thankful and very happy for being able to receive the warm love from all of my partners. In the future, I will try to spend more time at close proximity with everyone. It was Lunar New Year a few days ago~ I wish everyone a happy new year in 2010, I, the retired solider Kangta, will return with good music and good image for everyone. Thank you everyone, I love you. Take care~^^
