Another celeb gets his army papers
October 18th, 2008 // by javabeans
Ryu Soo-young (18 vs. 29, Bad Couple) is a star who hadn’t been on my radar for upcoming army enlistment, but he’s getting ready to report for duty. His physical exam results indicated he was fit for active duty, so he’ll begin training on October 27 and serve for 24 months.
Ryu will give one last fanmeeting before heading off, which will take place on the 25th. His role in last year’s Bad Couple was a particular hit in Japan, and a contingent of Japanese fans are expected to attend.
He joins a number of celebs who have gone off for duty already this year, including Shinhwa’s Eric (Que Sera Sera), Jo Hyun-jae (Three Dads One Mom), Jae Hee (Witch Amusement), and singer-actor Yang Dong-geun (I Am Sam).

first?
I liked him in Bad Couple and he is funny in The Lawyers of The Great Republic Korea.
Didn’t like the ending though.
haha that’s a really bad picture of him
wow. he kind of looks like jae hee in this picture.
Whoa.. for the next two years.. who are we having as stars? Oh wait we have Seung S, Kwan Ji (hong dil gong, I think I spelled their names wrong sorry) … So Ji Sub.. oh okay so not so bereft… but I think I’ll miss Jae Hee the most…
Gong Yoo has been on duty for a few months too.
Hmm, so many celebs are or are going to be on duty soon. Do you think Rain is going to join their ranks soon?
Good luck to Ryu Soo-young!
OMG, I thought he was in his early 40’s. I didn’t know he was youngish.
^ for real, i thought he was older too. he seemed 30ish in Lawyers.
I thought he was older as well. At least in his thirties.
he seems older but at times he has a young side
and i really really like him omg >< haha
so i’ll miss his acting
OMG… totally wasnt expecting him next. but he’s a pretty good actor.
his best i think was seoul 1945. but his cutesy roles were good too.
gahhh so many people leaving.
oh my favorite RSY!
Love him in 18 vs 29, Bad Couple and Lawyers…
Oh, that picture is not so flattering, I agree …
I’m sure you will do well in the military, Soo Young – shi!
