Lee Jun-young enlists in the Army today (21st)... August

Singer and actor Lee Jun-young enlists as an active-duty soldier in the Army today (21st) to fulfill his national defense duties. Lee Jun-young will enter the recruit training center today to undergo basic military training and will continue his service as an active-duty soldier. His agency, Billions, stated that the location and time of enlistment will be kept private. This decision was made considering the congestion and safety of the site, as many service members and families will be present.

Ahead of his enlistment, Lee Jun-young greeted fans by posting a photo of his short-cropped hair on his social media. He had previously communicated with fans by announcing his enlistment news through a Sinner letter last month. At that time, Lee Jun-young shared his honest feelings, saying, "Until I knew the enlistment date, I just thought, 'I'm just going,' but now that I have the date, I find myself having many thoughts after a long time." He added, "I will go and come back safely and being myself. I sincerely hope everyone spends happy and meaningful times in their respective places until the day we meet again." His final greeting through the agency was even more cheerful. He promised a reunion with fans, saying, "See you the winter after next. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year X2 in advance."

From 'D.P.' to 'Reborn Rookie', a solid acting filmography built up

Born in 1997, Lee Jun-young took his first step in the entertainment industry by debuting in 2014 as 'JUN', a member of the group U-KISS. Since then, he has solidified his position as an actor by starting full-scale acting activities in 2017. Starting with the drama 'Avengers Social Club', he made himself known by appearing in various works such as 'Class of Lies', 'Please Don't Date Him', and 'Imitation'. In particular, he proved his versatile acting skills across genres through the Netflix series 'D.P.' and 'Mask Girl', as well as the films 'Brave Citizen' and 'Badland Hunters'.

Recently, he received critical acclaim for his stable performance in the JTBC drama 'Reborn Rookie', where he played a dual role in which the souls of Hwang Jun-hyeon and Chairman Kang Yong-ho coexist. The work concluded successfully, recording its own highest viewership ratings. In addition, he has firmly established his presence as a rising star by appearing in a series of talked-about works such as 'The Impossible Heir', 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', and 'Weak Hero Class 2'.

Waiting for upcoming works like 'Four Hands, Two Sonatas' to be released in August... activities continuing even during military service

As Lee Jun-young has maintained non-stop activities until his enlistment, he is already prepared to meet viewers even during his military service. This is because he has already completed filming for the new tvN drama 'Four Hands, Two Sonatas'. In 'Four Hands, Two Sonatas', scheduled to air on August 29, Lee Jun-young will showcase new acting as Choi Jeong-yo. A line of prepared upcoming works is ready so that the audience will not feel his military hiatus.

In addition, filming for the Netflix series 'Our Sticky Love' and the film 'Sinner' has also already been completed. Having moved actively between variety shows and dramas until just before his enlistment, Lee Jun-young plans to return to fans by sequentially releasing the prepared works after briefly fulfilling his national defense duties.

Enlistment announcement and final greeting to fans

Last month, Lee Jun-young first announced his enlistment news by posting a Sinner letter on social media. In the letter, he expressed his feelings of having many thoughts after receiving the enlistment date. He also left a message saying he would go and come back safely and being himself, and hoped everyone would spend happy times in their respective places.

On the day of his enlistment, in the early morning, he shared a photo of his short-cropped hair and shared his final greetings with fans.
