The year 2024 brought a lot of bittersweet moments for fans of a lot of popular Korean actors and K-pop idols.
As we welcome BTS members Jin and Nam Joo-hyuk after being discharged from the military, we also have to temporarily bid goodbye to other South Korean heartthrobs as it's their turn to do their duties.
As reported by the news website Korean Herald, all-abled South Korean men aged 18 to 35 must fulfill their mandatory military service and will serve a minimum of one year and six months depending on their branch of the military.
Last September 26, it was confirmed that NCT heartthrob Jaehyun will be taking a temporary break from his commitment as a K-pop idol since he will be enlisting in the military in November.
Meanwhile, actor Song Kang, dubbed by his fans as the 'Son of Netflix' wrote a heartfelt letter dedicated to his fans before entering the military.
In the letter, Kang assured his supporters that he would return soon.
He wrote, “Lately I've been writing gratitude notes before I go to bed. There are so many things that I feel grateful to SONGPYEON for.
“I am so thankful that SONGPYEON filled my 20s with meaningful times including birthdays, anniversaries, fan meetings, etc.
“I won't be by your side for a while, but time will return quickly.”
Here are the other Korean actors and idols who started their military enlistment this 2024 in this gallery.
