Korean actor-singer Lee Joon-young is set to enlist on July 21 and will enter the Army Training Center for basic military training before beginning active-duty service, with no official enlistment event planned. He posted a selfie of himself cutting his hair and shared a handwritten letter to fans expressing that he will return healthy and as himself. Across reports, he is noted for his rise from U-KISS member in 2014 to a recognized actor with roles in projects such as D.P., Mask Girl, and Weak Hero Class 2, and he is slated to appear in tvN’s Four Hands, which is scheduled to air on August 29. Several articles also indicate his discharge is expected around January 20 of next year, highlighting that his career will continue to unfold during his military hiatus. Despite the service, multiple sources emphasize that he remains active in the industry with upcoming works and project commitments post-discharge.
