'New Recruit 3' Kim Min-ho and Nam Tae-woo face fears that trigger PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

On the 14th, the production team of Genie TV's original drama 'New Recruit 3' (directed by Min Jin-ki and Jo Je-wook, written by Yoon Gi-young and Kang Go-eun, based on the work by Jang Ppijju, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by A2Z Entertainment and Story Island) revealed the crisis faced by Park Min-seok (played by Kim Min-ho) and Choi Il-goo (played by Nam Tae-woo). It raises curiosity about what changes Seong Yoon-mo's (played by Kim Hyun-kyu) tearful prayer will bring to the first living quarters and what will happen to the veteran soldier Nam Tae-woo.

In the last broadcast, a new recruit, Moon Bit-na-ri (played by Kim Yo-han), who gives off a bad vibe, appeared in the first living quarters. Moon Bit-na-ri, who reminds everyone of Park Min-seok's recruit days, started her military life with a series of mistakes, beginning with a rite of passage where she punched the veteran soldier Choi Il-goo. The return of Seong Yoon-mo, who was cleared of charges due to insufficient evidence, turned the Myth Unit upside down. However, contrary to concerns, Seong Yoon-mo secretly helped Moon Bit-na-ri and surprised everyone with his changed demeanor, shedding tears of remorse.

With military life expected to become increasingly difficult, the released photos hint at another upheaval. Park Min-seok, seemingly in disbelief, is shocked by something he sees. Where his finger points, Seong Yoon-mo is present. His earnest tearful prayer, as if reflecting on past mistakes, is intriguing. Meanwhile, Moon Bit-na-ri's unusual behavior has also been captured. Despite Choi Il-goo's order to exclude her from the training, she secretly follows Seong Yoon-mo, who helps her. Her gaze towards Seong Yoon-mo, who is like a ray of hope in her tough military life, is complex and ambiguous. It is thrilling to see what kind of influence Seong Yoon-mo will have on Moon Bit-na-ri.

The following photos also capture Choi Il-goo in a state of soul escape. Choi Il-goo, who has been called for reserve training, faces the 'fearful seniors' Kim Tae-hee (played by Cha Ji-hyuk), Jeon Dae-han (played by Lim Jong-hyuk), and Jang Deok-kyu (played by Heo Geon-young), whom he does not want to meet. As the seniors approach him with smiles, it seems to trigger memories of 'PTSD' from his time as a private, leaving the veteran soldier Choi Il-goo frozen and devoid of his usual composure. What could be the hidden past of veteran soldier Choi Il-goo, and will he be able to complete the training safely? All eyes are on this.

The production team of 'New Recruit 3' stated, "Seong Yoon-mo, who has been excluded from the training, brings confusion to the unit with actions that defy everyone's expectations. Please look forward to what changes Seong Yoon-mo, who even showed a tearful prayer, will bring to the first living quarters," adding, "The hidden story of veteran soldier Choi Il-goo facing the seniors he absolutely did not want to meet will also be interesting."

Meanwhile, the third episode of Genie TV's original drama 'New Recruit 3' will premiere today (14th) at 10 PM on channel ENA, and will be exclusively available for free VOD on KT Genie TV immediately after the broadcast. It can also be watched on the OTT platform Tving.
