Kim Dong Jun’s secret set to be uncovered in “New Recruit 3”!

“New Recruit” is a black comedy drama that delves into the lives of young adults in their 20s, exploring the culture, secrets, and absurdities of South Korea’s military. Season 3 throws Shinhwa unit into turmoil with the arrival of two unpredictable new recruits, the return of a notorious villain, and Park Min Seok (Kim Min Ho) facing an increasingly chaotic path to promotion, filled with more twists than ever.

In the previous episode, Sergeant Choi Il Gu (Nam Tae Woo), who is nearing the end of his military service, faced a frustrating mishap. His prized combat uniform, which he had saved for his final leave, was ruined when Moon Bit Nari (Kim Yo Han) accidentally washed it with tissue inside. The result: the uniform was covered in shredded paper. When younger soldiers asked if he was okay, Choi Il Gu simply told them to stay quiet.

Meanwhile, the residents of Dorm 3 pretended not to notice Jeon Se Gye (Kim Dong Jun) being excused from all duties after joining the military’s promotional unit. To make up for it, Jeon Se Gye handed out gifts sent by his fan club. Now, viewers are left wondering: what secret is Jeon Se Gye hiding?

Newly released stills show Park Min Seok (Kim Min Ho) going undercover, keeping a close eye on Jeon Se Gye, the unit’s so-called ace. In stark contrast to his usual sharp, disciplined demeanor around senior soldiers, Jeon Se Gye is seen casually talking on the phone, hands in his pockets, and posture relaxed. Upon listening in on the conversation, Park Min Seok looks utterly shocked, sparking curiosity about what he heard during the call.

Other stills capture Sergeant Choi Il Gu making the most of his time before his final leave. In one photo, the soldiers smile for a celebratory photo with Company Commander Jo Baek Ho (Oh Dae Hwan), clearly enjoying the moment. But Choi Il Gu’s happiness won’t last long—he’s about to face a tough challenge, one that promises to be his biggest test yet.
