Lee Jong Suk's Enlistment Date Has Been Revealed

Lee Jong Suk will be enlisting in the Korean military on March 8, 2019.

This is just one week after he wraps up his current drama, Romance Is A Bonus Book. Though this is sooner than expected, we all knew the actor had plans to enlist this year. During a press conference, he revealed, "I think I'll end up enlisting this year. That's why I have to finish this drama well. I wanted to show this to fans. It's my first time trying the romantic comedy genre. I received a lot of help from Lee Na Young so I'm filming well."

When he was 16, Jong Suk tore his ACL during a car accident, which "deemed him unfit for service as an active duty soldier." So instead of active duty, he will be working instead as a public service agent. 

He will be discharged on January 2, 2021. Let the countdown begin!
