Taiwanese heartthrob Greg Hsu has been discharged from military service today (Aug 6).

The 34-year-old actor, who enlisted for his mandatory military service last August, was seen head-to-toe in black as he exited the Department of Conscription Administration building in Nantou county to waiting fans and reporters.

Addressing the media, he thanked everyone who had gone specially to welcome him.

Greg, who shot to fame in Taiwanese drama Someday or One Day (2019), said: "The past year has been enriching and healthy for me. I have had time to recharge and have also learnt new things. The residents here took a lot of care of me and would frequently give me additional servings when I go out to eat, I appreciate them very much.

"I think with the time this past year to collect and organise my thoughts, I am actually quite happy about it. I will bring this energy and work hard during filming."

He was also asked to give an update on his upcoming work plans, and he replied he would be preparing to start filming a new project soon and going for promotional activities.

"I hope that I will be able to get used to it quickly, since I haven't been working for a year," he laughed.

Greg's upcoming romantic-fantasy film Measure in Love was recently announced to be releasing in Taiwan on Oct 3 and he is expected to start promoting it soon.

The movie centres on Shu Zai (Greg) and An Qing (Angela Yuen), who belong to different timelines and gravity after a massive earthquake split Earth into two, overcoming their different time zones to fall in love.

 

A reporter also told Greg that some of his fans flew in from South Korea to welcome him back, which surprised him.

"Oh really? It's really quite far, why did they come specially for me? But I am really thankful," he said, adding he has received some fan letters from them.

When asked if he has anything to say to his supporters, Greg said: "Thank you everyone, I will work hard now that I am out and give back [to them]."
