Lee Dong-wook enlists
Lee Dong-wook headed off to fulfill his two-year military service requirement on the afternoon of August 24, sent off with love and chocopies. (Is there a better way to go?) He arrived at the training center in Nonsan, Chuncheong province, to undergo the usual five weeks of basic training there before being assigned to active duty. A crowd of approximately 100 fans showed up to wish him well.
In order to complete work on his latest film, Bean Paste, Lee arranged to film through his last day, wrapping his part in the movie on the 23rd.
Lee Dong-wook made his screen debut in 1999 in MBC’s Best Theater series, after which he acted in movies like horror film Arang and romantic comedy Perfect Couple, and television series like the trendy romance My Girl and dark drama La Dolce Vita.

bye bye wookie…i’m going to miss yah!!!tnx DB for the upload!!!..he’s just so cute!
Gosh, I am sad to see him go & will miss him dearly! I loved his character in Partner. LDW idk, doesn’t look so great in the buzz cut lol. We shall see you in 2 yrs Lee Dong Wook!
wookkiiiee!!! gosh he looks like a primary student in this pics..all he needs is the white collared shirt and brown shorts teehee
*smiling*
he looks like a little kid with his haircut…..a cute kid!!!!
he just wished to enter quietly, that’s why his agency released the news only 1 week prior to his enlistment. he likes to stay low profile.
the Chinese media commented, despite in short hair, Lee Dong Wook still looks charming
stay put, Wookie ! starts to count down …
Sniff .. Sniff… Hixhix bye Dong Wook.. He is one of my favourites… with stable acting and roles.
Hope 2 years will be gone very soon..
Going to miss him tons…2 years till we meet again! FIGHTING!
I’ll miss you baby… come back manlier(not that you are any less now)… take good care and HWAITING always….
I always want to write them some personalize love letter or something whenever one of the babies I love get enlisted…
On a bright note, Gong Yoo is coming back soon or somewhere in 2010… cutest gagman Haha and smokin Shinwa’s Eric… so well I always comfort myself when someone get enlisted, someone is finishing service soon…
And I love chocopies!
Hiks.. I just finished watching Partner, and I”m in love all over again with him. Be careful Wookie, stay away from the big scary guys. They might think you’re pretty just like we all do.
I will miss him! <3
He just looks so cuteeeeeee regardless of what he is doing/wearing.
A lot of people are saying that time flies by easily and that two years can pass by without us noticing it. But how come I feel like it’s too long? Geez. Call me crazy.
Anyway, I just hope he’ll have a good comeback after his military service. There are actors who were not able to put up a good comeback after serving the military. I just hope this won’t happen to Lee Dong Wook. He’s too talented and not being able to comeback to acting is a waste. So fingers crossed for his comeback!
…and of course, I hope he’ll be safe! Be healthy!
Going to miss him!
PS: I envy the fans who were able to see him before he entered the training. Lucky! If I were only living in Korea, I’d definitely go and see him! Lol.
I don’t like his hair…
….:(…. it was half his charm
see y0u in next tw0 years…
g0nna miss y0u..anny0ng lee d0ng w0ok shi..
o boy he is so damn good looking. btw his lips in the fist pic, is that natural…..
i m bowled over
NOOOOOO!!!
Boo Hoo
*waves* Wookie I’ll miss your cute smile! Take care ok? *waves*
He really looks young in that first pic! Adorable as ever though. And choco pies to help send them off? Sweet!
It is quite good to see the recent enlistments of Wookie and Kim Rae Won where the enlistee seems postive, cheerful and happy on the day they enlist. As a fan will miss seeing their projects for the next 2 yrs. Am sure it is not the easiest adjustments to enlist – but both these guys make it seem like a postive thing not a ‘oh c$#p this is interrupting my money making opportunities!’ (which probably is true too LOL)
But it could just be that these are guys who are in a special class of their own. They are both cute and adorable in their own way. Their respective smiles on their enlistment days make me think that – yep they will be fine. I look forward to the day they come out.
Awww…..good luck LDW.
awww… I really like him & gonna miss him laods…
Wookie…i’ll miss you! I hope you could come back soon. ~sobs~
we’ll be here in 2 years, ldw! fighting!
So, he’s still using the same handphone’s strap that cause the rumours between him and Lee Da Hae. Lee Da Hae also still using the strap sometimes.
Will miss him for sure and I’m rewatching MY GIRL again to bring back the old good feeling.
NNNOOOOOO! :’(
he really looks like a kid with that chopped haircut — he looks cute! i miss him already! why do they have to do this in Korea? hurry back cause you can’t do this to us for 2 solid yrs? God bless you & the others who left ahead of you LDW! take care and bogoshipo!
Goodbye OPPA
im goona miss him as an actor but before we know it 2 years will be up
I think out of all the guys so far I’m saddest to see him go. His acting has really improved over the years and I would like to see how taking a couple of years off will bring even more maturity or facet to his acting.
Aww… he is so cute… good bye and see you in 2 yrs… hopefully he will still look as good as he is now.
Oh no .. I love Lee Dong Wook, all his dramas all so good.. my girl..la dolce vita and partners..
I hope he would be alright in the army training…
OMG!!! ALL my crushes are in the army now!!!
Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook. Jo Hyun Jae, Jae Hee, Chun Myung Ryung…they’re “all in” except for… Hyun Bin (& he’s already taken)!!!!
what’ll a poor Korean Drama Addict, like me… going to do now?
he looks like a young teen with that haircut! gosh, it seems so fast- it feels like just yesterday we found out he was going off for military service! good luck, lee dong wook!
He is so adorable… but the buzz cut must be one of the worst I’ve seen… it looks like a bowl cut..
Good luck to him!!!
I hate Militar service…
Heartbreak.
My only consolation is that my baby Gong Yoo gets out soon.
Yay!
Dang, he’s so pale….and so adorable too!
Goodbye LDW, and come back soon! *sobs*
On a brighter note, only one more year till Jae Hee comes back! Woot!!!!
Noooo. Sadtimes ~!
Partner made me want to watch La Dolce Vita and I was blown away by it. I am haunted by LDW’s JS. I wish they had kept the OST instrumental. The pop songs were too cheesy and jarring for the otherwise terrific drama. What a fantastic cast.
Seeing these sweet happy pictures of him is almost a relief after watching him as the tragic JS.
This is too much! two years is wayyy too long , i feel like im going to cry! god im gonna miss him =(. Like honey lee said, anything he wears looks good on him (commenting on his hairstyle). oh im so gonna miss my wookie, i wish him luck and hopefully he’ll get back to us in to time =)
FAREWELL MY WOOKIE!!! *waves*
WAHHH!! Wookie looks adorable even w/a short buzz cut! (sigh) Gonna miss him.
Ohhh, I can’t believe this, 2 years seems too long.
Why is the Military Service so long ???
Well, now I’m waiting for Gong Yoo.
this is so sad..i really love his work
NOOOOOO!
not another one!
first kim rae won and not this….
*sigh*
i’ll miss you wookie!
So soon!!! I just barely heard about his enlistment last week and now he’s gone on to serve his two-year military duty? How sad.
In my opinion Lee Dong Wook is one of the underrated actors in Korea. He swooned me in My Girl and I very much enjoyed his movie Heartbreak Library (or whatever its official title is, but you guys know what I’m talking about right?). I haven’t had the chance to see most of his works, but because of My Girl I’ve always tuned in for news about him.
Even with the buzzcut he still looks good! He looks so much younger, but he doesn’t look strange, which I suppose could only mean that he’s so good looking that any type of haircut looks good on him. haha.
I’ll def. miss him.
hope he enlists as a regular soldier like JHJ, so he’ll tan up a little, he’s soooooooo pale. stay healthy!
I love him. I became his fan after Dolce La Vita. Such a great drama!
The hair looks cute.
Good luck to him. =D
OMG i m going to miss him so much i hope he finish the two years fast, we are waiting for you FIGHTING
soo weird seeing him with that buzzed hair….
i will miss him!!
I’m so going to miss Wookie too. love his personality. will we ever have Partner 2?
I’m going to definitely miss him a lot (I’m still in a huge Wookie withdrawal since Partner finished). One of my favorite actors…with LDW gone, there’s going to be a huge void…
LDW Fighting! I’ll see you back in two years! (starts to count down)
2 years seem so long..
Wish LDW well..
Goong- post 11
I agree about the whole “after military comeback.” I really hope that LDW and GY will have good comebacks after their military service- cause for all we know ,
SSH with East of Eden was just like the wrost comeback ever and with all the scandal involving it, and he still got the Daesang award. so sad….
and then SJS with Cain and Abel, now that was not as horrible as SSH’s attempt.
But actors coming back from the military and getting comeback dramas boasting high budgets and great cast just disappoint after all the hype.
Sorry for reminding everyone of the past, but really great “military comebacks” just don’t happen. I am just curious, did any actor’s military comeback prove to be a success?
huhuhu… im gonna miss LDW. two years is a long time. good thing he was so adorable in partner and he’s got bean paste coming out eventually.
… but then, Chun Jung Myung will be out by year-end…. yehey!!!!
i love his acting, ahh so gonna miss him!
Call me crazy but I downloaded a countdown add-on for my browser. More or less, 728 days to go before Lee Dong Wook’s return! Yay!
Bye-bye Wookie… will miss you dearly
His acting skill has improved in Partner. Was hoping to see him in another drama before he got enlisted. What a pity…
Wookie, see you in 2 years’ time!
We’ll miss you, LDW! You’re handsome, adorable and funny, and frankly the world needs more of that.
I’m soooo sad…you will be miss so much…..take care
sooooo cute with his new haircut. Good luck and take care. i’ll always miss you so much. really envy for those who have a chance meeting you personally. Hope someday my turn will come. Love you……..GOD BLESS U..
