Lee Min Ho To Enlist In The Military Early This Year
Hallyu star Lee Min Ho might be saying goodbye to his fans sooner than expected as he'll reportedly be enlisting in the military in March or April.
The handsome actor might turn in a sad surprise to his fans as he bids them an early farewell in the upcoming months and joins the growing list of top male celebrities who'll be entering the military this year.
According to Sports DongA, insiders revealed Tuesday that Lee Min Ho plans to hold his fan meeting February 18-19 as his last official activities before enlisting in the military.
"No specific date has been settled yet," allkpop quoted an affiliate of the actor as saying. "We are currently waiting for notification from the MMA. As soon as the official date is given he will be entering his military service. He is currently preparing for his fan meeting."
The actor has been registered as a public service worker due to the physical injuries he suffered from a serious car accident with fellow actor Jung Il Woo in 2006. Jung Il Woo, who already enlisted in December 2016 also as a public service worker, was diagnosed with a cerebral aneurysm after he suffered severe headaches following the car accident.
Lee Min Ho plans to meet with 6,000 of his fans in Seoul for a two-day crowd-pleasing event at the KungHee University's Peace Hall. This will also be his way of celebrating his 10th year anniversary in the industry last year.
The actor expressed his confidence in his fans while he's poised to leave the limelight for about two years.
"I am like an incomplete book," Inquistr quoted the actor as saying. "I am a work in progress. Therefore, the end is still vague. However, I think the pages that I'm writing now will last forever. It'll be remembered definitely. So no, I'm not worried. I just feel I have to work hard to share my love with everybody."
