Once actors go off to fulfill their two years of military service, it’s not often that we get to see them in the public eye until their discharge. So it’s nice to see a few of the currently enlisted entertainers together onstage for the 2009 Army Concert, which took place in Seoul on the evening of October 31.
Some of the celebrities who participated were actors Jae Hee (Three Dads One Mom), Jo In-sung (Frozen Flower), Lee Dong-wook (Partner), Kim Jae-won (Hwang Jini), and Ohn Joo-wan (Chosun Police). On the kpop side, there were singer-actors Yang Dong-geun (I Am Sam), Lee Jung (Hometown of Legends), and Kim Jung-hoon (Goong), as well as singers Sung Shi-kyung, Tony An.
Despite rainy weather, there were approximately 7,000 people in the audience for the outdoor concert. Jo In-sung and army broadcast MC Sohn Eun-ah acted as hosts for the event.

Awwww….I miss them all!
I like Lee Dong-wook and Jo In-sung’s uniforms… very handsome!
woah it’s weird seeing tony an with normal-color, normal-length hair! i didn’t recognize him.
everyone else looks so handsome! but where is my lee jung?
OOOO…two of my favorite actors Jae Hee & LDW singing (?) together! I miss Jae Hee on the big screen…seriously, he was one of the big reasons why DGCH was so enjoyable! I think Jae Hee has another year to go right?
ah, for those interested, i found him!

Oops, I forgot to post Lee Jung’s pic! Will fix now.
what do the different color uniforms and different styles signify? they all look so serious!
Awww…my Kim Jung-Hoon looks like he’s twelve! *sigh* So cute.
My only comments looking at those pictures: The jackets look huge on the majority of them…apparently they don’t care about having uniform jackets fit the wearer. And damn, are they looking good.
Jo In Sung, Lee Dong Wook, Ohn Joo Wan, Tony An = Air force
Kim Jung Hoon, Kim Jae Won = Navy
Lee Jung = Marine
I’m guessing that leaves the red uniform (worn by Sung Shi Kyung, Jae Hee, and Yang Dong Geun) to be the Army?
i think it is quite funny to see them like this…..
They look really good as manly men.
I still can’t help but think about the time they must go in hiding after their release from service to grow out/style their hair and whiten their skin.
im biased here Lee Dong Wook is one of my favorite actors but don`t like him in the pics i like Lee Jung. Im a US Marine so gotta support all who have the Marine title jajajaj
Kim Jung-hoon look so different I barely recognize him ):
All of them look so serious, make me think that for once they do feel like normal people besides this ceremony in the two years of service.
Where’s the other Kim Won? And my fangirly first love Jo Hyun-jae? I see Gong Yoo has one foot out the door already, with his discharge so near. Everyone looks very sharp! My fave is of course the Air Force uniforms, and Jo In-sung is rocking his hard. I have a soft spot for jet pilots.
…am wondering how come Gong Yoo & Jo Hyun Jae were both absent from the event? so too w/ Kim Rae Won…I miss them both so much!!! Heard that Lee Dong Gun too is entering the army… my only consolation is Gong Yoo’s about to go back to us, his fans , come Dec.8!!!
oh my! TONY! O_O;; did he gain weight? keke;;;;
btw- Sung ShiKyung is SUCH a giant compared to Kim JungHoon! LAWL.
these men all look so serious (which makes sense of course)… so I can’t say this is “eye candy” for me.. but it is quite nice to see them all again! (: I had no idea Kim JaeWon and On JooWan were currently at goondae!
oh.. and lawl to Lee Jung’s hair ^^;;
lol… Tony what are you doing there? you look like you are the only person gain weight in the army.
Oh my. I do love a man in dress uniform. Add handsome Korean actors and we get one speechless gallivanter.
@ 8 Andromytta
exactly my reaction when i saw his photo.. *sigh* (my eldest will be 7 soon)
mmmmm, my other 2 faves, JIS & LDW, are looking good. thanks JB!
I miss all those that are from the pics… I wish Kangta, Jaewon and Woohyuk were there too. It’ll be a H.O.T. reunion…
i can only recognized lee dong wook. and jae hee.
the rest of the guys looks so different.
it would be good if there were some pics of them during their active entertainment days side by side with the current pics… just my wish
and yeah… once they are released from the army they’ll go into hiding to restyle themselves, right? i wonder how long does park hyo shin had to hide to grow out his hair?
It’s so depressing. All the men I love are in the military. *cries*
where’s Jo Hyun Jae? would have been nice to get a glimpse of him. last time he showed his face to the public was in August this year when his interview by the Army came out. miss him so much. wonder why he’s not included in this event. i am sure he’s busy doing more serious stuff…..
yeah, where’s JO HYUN JAE? miss him too.
where is kim rae won??… aww… i miss seeing them on the screen…
happy to hear Gong Yoo will be discharged soon…
is that Tony An?? all this time i was wondering how he would look with normal attire, LOL…
aaaw i miss them all! JIS and LDW look mighty handsome!! *soft spot for air force* xP we need to get these manly men back in the entertainment scene fast! LOL happy to see they’re looking healthy though
aaah.. i miss Eric Mun -_-
thanks for sharing!
when i saw the post title, i was so excited thought i will see Jo Hyun Jae but his name are not listed in the tags
so I’m back to deflated again…..
thanks JB for the translation above..
I can see Jae Hee again, yay!!!!
and… what does the red uniform mean??
It’s nice to see to Lee Dong Wook, Jae Hee and Kim Jung Hoon again (:
Gong Yoo will be getting out in December! [Insert fangirl squeal] (:
JO HYUN JAE’S absence in this event – does it have something to do with the fact that he is a regular soldier and not an entertainment soldier?
omo, lee dong wook, how i’ve missed you.. LOL…. guys, where’s gong yoo?? has he been discharged already?!
how come kim jung hoon;s outfit is soo adorable. lol
LEE DONG WOOK HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOU ;_;

I completely forgot that Lee Dong Wook recently enlisted (think it is due to the You’re Beautiful giddiness)!
Is it just me, or are some of the Uniforms just that little bit big for some of them? Or is that denial that they are not going to be in kdramas/kpop for awhile yet? hmmm still men in uniform
Lee Dong-wook…Jo In-sung…gosh, I MISS THEM BIG TIME
Is there no post about Rain? I heard that he’s also about to be enlisted…

JHJ is an actor, not an entertainer. He is currently conscientiously serving as a regular soldier in the Korean army; he is not an “entertainment soldier”.
Where’s Eric and the other Shinhwa guys? Also Kim Rae Won?
