Yes! My favourite Shinhwa (Hangul: 신화; Hanja: 神話) member and actor Eric Moon (real name: Mun Jung Hyuk; Hangul: 문정혁) is finally discharged from the army (on October 30th) and ready for showbiz after a long two-year wait. Eric enlisted as a civil service worker on October 9, 2008 after his exemption from active duty due to his back injury during his filming of "Wolf." He was the first member to serve, and fellow member Kim Dong Wan (Hanja: 金东万) followed soon thereafter. With the exception of Shin Hye Sung (Hangul: 신혜성; Hanja: 申彗星), all other Shinhwa members are now serving in the army.
Eric has been confirmed for the upcoming drama Poseidon in which he plays the character of Kim Seon Woo, a cheerful and tough coast guard officer who is selected to become a part of the coast guard commando team. I have watched Eric's roles in kdramas "Fire Bird" (aka BulSae or Phoenix) and "Super Rookie" (Hangul: 신입사원; Hanja: 新入社员 (菜鸟上班族)), and several Banjun dramas (反转剧); and swoon over his amazing charisma in 《情书》aka "Love Letter", a popular Korean variety show. He is totally charming and talented. I'm so looking forward to this new drama.
As reported, Poseidon is Korea's first TV series about the daily struggles coast guards face. This drama will be co-produced by Oh Sang Won and director Yoo Cheol Yong, whose works include dramas "All In" and "Heat", and will be written by scenarist Jo Gyoo Won of blockbuster hit series "IRIS" (this drama glued my bf's eyes to the screen).
Eric will be joining actors Kim Kang Woo and actress Kim Ok Bin who will act as one of the female special forces soldier. TVXQ member U-Know Yunho is also confirmed for the drama. The supporting cast members of "Poseidon" include Son Hyun Joo, Kim Gab Soo, Park Won Sook and Jin Hee Kyung. The cast is currently undergoing special forces and rescue training and preparing for the actual filming.
