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.

Just a word of warning – the movie does deal with adult content, so I would like to respectfully ask people to stay away if they cannot be mature about the discussion. Thank you!

Another 28-year-old actor (or, in this case, he’s a few months shy of 28) — who’s been hyping up his army departure for months, with a “last movie” (Frozen Flower), a “last fanmeeting” (in Japan), and a “last photo shoot” (for a clothing ad campaign) — finally heads off to complete his roughly two-year service in the military.

Jo In-sung (Frozen Flower) is finally headed off to fulfill his mandatory military duty — his official enlistment comes in just one more day, on Monday, April 6.

Before he steps out of the media spotlight, Jo has released his latest photo spread, which marks the close of his five-year tenure as the brand model for menswear brand Trugen.

With Jo’s departure, the baton has officially passed from one generation’s “flower man” to the next — taking over as brand model from Jo is Boys Before Flowers star Lee Min-ho.

Whoa there, Jo In-sung. These photos from a recent Japanese fanmeeting are just begging for a caption contest, although with that Who-like hair, the thoughts that immediately sprang to my mind are perhaps best expressed in the words of Dr. Seuss. Like, for instance:

From there to here,
from here to there,
funny things are everywhere.

Or how about…

I’m sorry to say so
But, sadly it’s true
That bang-ups and hang-ups
Can happen to you.

On the other hand, you can look at this positively:

Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
