"See You in the Winter After Next!"… Lee Jun-young Enlists in the Army Today (21st)

Singer and actor Lee Jun-young is temporarily leaving his fans to fulfill his mandatory military service starting today (21st).

Lee is set to enlist in the army as an active-duty soldier today, entering a recruit training center. To prevent congestion and ensure safety, no official events will be held, and the enlistment process will take place privately. Previously, Lee shared the news of his enlistment directly through a handwritten letter filled with affection for his fans, receiving an outpouring of support.

Debuting in the entertainment industry in 2014 as "JUN," a member of the group U-KISS, Lee has showcased his versatility across both stage and screen. Since beginning his acting career in earnest with the 2017 drama "Avengers Social Club," he has built a unique filmography with a broad acting spectrum that transcends genres, including "Mr. Temporary," "Please Don't Date Him," "Imitation," "D.P.," "Mask Girl," "Weak Hero Class 2," and "When Life Gives You Tangerines," as well as the films "Brave Citizen" and "Badland Hunters."

In particular, in the JTBC drama "New Employee Chairman Kang" aired this year, he proved his multidimensional acting skills by perfectly pulling off a dual role as characters whose souls coexist, Hwang Jun-hyun and Chairman Kang Yong-ho. The work also achieved a successful conclusion by breaking its own highest viewership ratings.

Continuing his hard work right up until his enlistment, he even finished filming the new tvN drama "Four Hands" without any setbacks, ready to soothe the disappointment of his fans during his military hiatus.

Ahead of his enlistment, Lee left a short but witty farewell through his agency, Billions, saying, "I will return in good health. See you in the winter after next! Merry Christmas in advance, and Happy New Year X2," bringing smiles to many.

Meanwhile, the new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama "Four Hands," in which Lee stars as the lead character Choi Jung-yo, is scheduled to premiere on August 29.
