Lee Dong-gun enlists next month

With the year half-over, expect more 28-year-old actors to cram in last projects and head off for their mandatory military service, since 1981-ers who have not yet completed their requirement will have to fulfill it this year. Actor and singer Lee Dong-gun has announced that he will be heading off to serve in active duty next month.

Lee recently received his papers and will go without further postponement. His last event as an entertainer will be a fanmeeting to take place on July 18 in Seoul. In contrast with some actors who have busily packed their last months with project after project, Lee has kept fairly under the radar over the last year, ever since wrapping 2008’s MBC drama series When Night Comes (aka Every Night) with Kim Sun-ah. He did release a single album in Japan, but hadn’t really had the chance to do much promotional work for it. The only time he surfaced in the news recently was when it became known he is dating A Star’s Lover actress Cha Ye-ryun.

Meanwhile, actors who have headed off this year for army duty include Lee Jin-wook, Jo In-sung, Kim Jae-won, and Jo Seung-woo. Those yet to enlist who are expected to do so soon include Kim Rae-won, Lee Ki-woo, and Jo Han-seon.

So males in Korea HAVE to enlist by the age 28? Didn't the 29 (or 30?) year old Eric Mun enlist this year or am I mistaken? ^^;

Thanks in advance for any additional info.

Gee a wave of my 'first wave' of kdrama favs are leaving........*sob* gonna miss Kim Rae Won! Agree with Green Freak - Lee Dong-gun is not the most handsome, but something about him makes him very watchable. Must be the leftover magic of 'Lovers in Paris' :)

Thank goodness for those who have already served - Kang Ji Hwan (!!!!), Won Bin, Ji Sung (so looking forward to 'Swallow the Sun' or as the pics seem to show 'Ji-Sung is Rambo'! LOL) and my latest fav So Ji Sub! Phew plenty of hotness left. Not to mention the upcomers like Kim Bum. Yum yum~

This raises the following queries:
Has Hyun Bin served yet? Or should I enjoy the upcoming 'Friends, the Legend' slowly? Has the 'Triple' guys? Surely Lee Jung Jae ('Triple')or Lee Byung Hun (upcoming 'Iris')have right????

about the age limit to do your military service, I have heard of actors citing reasons to put off their service, normally with bad PR results so maybe the age of 28 is the limit, unless you have 'acceptable' reasons to delay it.
And of course some men can do their time in white collar civil work and not 'grunt' army time. Though I am not sure of the whys and wherefores, long as it is deemed service to the country it is counted.

Take Care LDG - you're one of the most 'gentle' Korean actor (from Lovers in Paris to sweet 18, etc, etc. etc.) I've ever known. I hope you return soon.

Lee Dong Gun is seriously sexy! He is also one of my favorate actors! Maybe its his smile or his eyes( whew) or the way he leans in to kiss his female lead, but something about him makes you watch him, I am drawn to his eyes, something in them are sincere...you just want to love him up!
Its sad that he is going into the military service, but i know its a service he must forfill, he will be missed on dramas and movies, I have enjoyed watching him in; stained glass, when at night, lovers in paris, changing partners, and lovers like them. I hope he will come back and show all what talent he has!!! I want to wish him all the luck during his tour of service! Love you, The sun will shine again!
