kdramamilitaryobligations

What a blow to K-drama fans! The newest list of eligible stars who may be serving military service this year is shocking. At first this list was suspected of being a hoax, but the stars listed are at about the right age. Here’s a list of the actors who have been named by Korean media as soon to be taking their military leave, including their birth dates.

1. Jang Geun Suk (August 4, 1987, will be 27 this year)

3. Park Yoo Chun (June 4, 1986, will be 28 this year), 4. Kim Jae Joong (January 26, 1986, already 28), 5. Kim Junsu (December 15, 1986, will be 28 this year)

 

Oh no! The entire JYJ group?

Fans are crying their hearts out already!

It is interesting how close these superstars are in their ages and even birth dates.

 

In South Korea it is an obligation of all males between the ages of 18 to 35 to serve their military service. The length of service varies depending on the military branch: 21 months for Army and Marines, 23 months for Navy, 24 months for Air Force. The non-active duty service, e.g. civil service or public service worker, is from 24 months to 36 months. Athletes who win medals at the Olympic Games or gold medals at the Asian Games are granted exemptions but still have to serve four weeks in basic training.

 

Aha, I see a loophole for Kim Soo Hyun: Someone who is at least 400 years old doesn’t have to serve in the military, right?

During the episode of tvN’s ‘Taxi – Reply 1994 Special’ that aired on the 23rd of January, Sohn Ho Joon appeared as a special guest with Do Hee and Baro, and opened up about his famous friendship with U-Know Yunho.

Sohn Ho Joon said, “Yunho used to go to school with a junior I was close to. Back when Yunho was having a hard time, I used to get an allowance from my parents. When I used to come to Seoul, I would give Yunho any money I had left. After Yunho became a member of TVXQ, he took care of me really well.”

[TRANS] 140110 Kim Hee Chul Says, “Hero Jaejoong – U-Know Yunho, Came To Me In Tears About The Name ‘TVXQ’”

heechuldbsk

While explaining the special powers of EXO, Kim Hee Chul mentioned TVXQ and H.O.T.

During the episode of JTBC’s ‘Sseoljeon’ that aired on the 9th, a ‘How Much Do You Know About EXO?’ segment was held to discuss why EXO is so popular.

Kim Hee Chul, who is a senior under the same label as SM, said, “Super Junior also planned to promote in China, with our Chinese member Hankyung, but it was extremely difficult for us. Hankyung left the group, and it became difficult for the Chinese unit of Super Junior to promote in China. So EXO has taken on the strategy of completely splitting up into two different groups to promote, but coming together when they need to. That’s why they film two different music videos.”

He continued to state, “I knew that EXO would become a topic of discussion on this show, so I called the company and said, ‘I heard that EXO have super powers. Please explain them to me’. But while hearing their explanation, I said, ‘I once said that I enjoy the super powers on ‘Running Man’ for their childish nature,’ so what do you think I have to say about this?’” Regarding EXO’s super power concept, Kim Hee Chul said, “I’m pretty sure Lee Soo Man was the person who came up with it. He’s the one who always comes up with the names and concepts of teams. When TVXQ’s name was created, U-Know Yunho and Hero Jaejoong were close to tears. Shindong and I laughed at the name. But they ended up making their debut as TVXQ. TVXQ ended up being a hit, as did Super Junior, Shinhwa and H.O.T. But now, names are not enough. So they need to come up with a storyline with super powers.”
