'New Recruit 3' returns with a stronger camaraderie.

The production team of the Genie TV original drama 'New Recruit 3' (written by Yoon Gi-young and Kang Go-eun, directed by Min Jin-ki and Jo Je-wook) released cheerful behind-the-scenes cuts filled with joy on the 1st.

'New Recruit' is a series that has received great love across genders and generations for its unique characters, the actors' performances that maximize realism, and a delightful blend of comedy and relatable reality. Returning with high expectations, 'New Recruit 3' depicts the unpredictable transfer of two new recruits and the return of an unprecedented villain, creating a crisis in the Myth Battalion, while Private Park Min-seok (played by Kim Min-ho) faces a challenging military life ahead of his promotion to Corporal. The 'New Recruits' Kim Min-ho, Nam Tae-woo, Lee Sang-jin, Jo Jin-se, Lee Chung-gu, Kim Hyun-kyu, Lee Jeong-hyun, Jeon Seung-hoon, and Lee Soo-ji once again hard carry with their evolved military life cheat codes. The performances of the much-talked-about 'new faces' Kim Dong-jun, Oh Dae-hwan, and Kim Yo-han are also drawing attention. Particularly, the collaboration between director Min Jin-ki, who has broken down the barriers between drama and entertainment with the 'military content' genre, and comedy master writer Yoon Gi-young excites drama fans even more.

Among the released behind-the-scenes cuts, the actors showcase their strengthened camaraderie, which has grown with their increased experience. Kim Min-ho, who has the nickname 'the useless one', exudes a completely different atmosphere. His serious demeanor during monitoring is striking. Meanwhile, Nam Tae-woo, who is cheerfully giving a thumbs up, and Jeon Seung-hoon and Lee Soo-ji, who are smiling brightly, captivate attention with their charm that differs from their characters. On the other hand, Lee Sang-jin, Oh Dae-hwan, Jo Jin-se, and Kang Hyo-seung are showing off their unexpected cuteness with peace signs. The bright smiles of all these individuals hint at a warm atmosphere on set.

The new faces are also deeply immersed in their passionate mode to capture the audience's laughter. Kim Dong-jun, transformed into the 'national spoon', does not take a break from monitoring even during short breaks. Kim Yo-han, who plays Park Min-seok's useless junior Moon Bit-na-ri, also shows high concentration during rehearsals. As the laughter special forces return, curiosity is heightened about what kind of performance they will showcase this time, captivating viewers with a military content that is more real than reality.

The production team of 'New Recruit 3' stated, "'New Recruits' will deliver a different level of laughter with upgraded camaraderie. Thanks to the new faces' performances, the story will unfold joyfully once again," raising expectations.

Meanwhile, the Genie TV original drama 'New Recruit 3' will premiere on April 7 at 10 PM on channel ENA, and will be exclusively available for free VOD on KT Genie TV right after the main broadcast every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM. It can also be watched on the OTT platform Tving.
