Lee Jun-Ki off for his military service

(Good lord, he looks TWELVE!)

Well, the time has come, and Lee Jun-ki (Hero, Time Between Dog and Wolf) is off to fulfill his mandatory two-year military service. He headed off to the Nonsan training center on the afternoon of May 3, where he will undergo basic training for five weeks and then move on to twenty months of active duty.

Lee expressed his thanks to his supporters, and was sent off by a large crowd of 500 fans (which is pretty large for this sort of event; other actor send-offs tend to number around 100 or 200).

Lee had received his enlistment papers on April 12, and had applied for a deferral in order to fulfill his commitments to the movie Grand Prix and the drama Faith, both of which he had agreed to do. However, he was not granted the extension and the final decision came on April 28. Grand Prix, which has already begun filming, now needs to find a swift replacement, while Faith has a bit more time to re-cast.

Ashes: It's kinda of sad to see Lee Junki off for his 2 years military service as he is really a good actor. I loved all his kdrama!

Actor Lee Junki (Time of Dog and Wolf, My Girl) recently released a teaser video for his upcoming music video, "J Style," and now he's released the artwork for his album jacket. The concept behind the photo shoot was "an homme fatale who combines angel with nightmare."

Lee Junki will hold his "Episode 2" fan concert on April 18, and will be releasing his solo album in time for the event which I am looking forward to. ;)

Is Lee Jun Ki a creep?

Lee Jun Ki, a creep?

No, I don't think so... I think he looks really cool in these pictures for the September 2008 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine (Korea).

Lee Joon-ki in historical drama Iljimae

I am so looking forward to catch Iljimae (一枝梅) by Lee Jun Ki which is airing on 21 May 2008, SBS.
I hope some kind soul will upload to mysoju.com so that I can catch this kdrama soon. Heehee...

Recently, Jun-Ki revealed his military enlistment plan. He is enlisting himself for the army next year.
In an interview during the photoshoot of his drama "Iljimae", he was asked when was he enlisting for the army, he said, "I have many work this year so it’s not possible. The plan now is to enlist next year." He added, "I don’t have a concrete plan now but I feel that since I have to go eventually and rather than delaying it, I might as well quickly go and then make a return."

If Jun-Ki (born in 1982) enlists himself in the army at the age of 27, it’s kind of late compared to commonfolk. But it’s earlier than most Korean stars who only enlists themselves when they are near 30 years old. When asked if "Iljimae" would be his last work before enlistment, he said, "I will continue working before my enlistment, thus Iljimae is unlikely to be my last. But I will not delay my enlistment plan just because of work definitely."

Hmmmm... ... ...
When I read this news, I can't help but wondered when will be Rain's turn to be enlisted into the army as Jun-ki is of the same age as Rain.
I know I will get 'kill' by a lot of Rain's fans to have such thoughts but somehow I agreed with what Jun-Ki said on eventually he has to serve army (which is a must in Korea & also in SG) & rather than delaying it, why not complete the 2 years army services quickly & make a return. So, I feel Rain should get enlisted early & return early. ;)
