Yoo Seung Ho Quietly Enlists in the Military

And just like that…..he’s off to the army. As he said he would do, Yoo Seung Ho enlisted for his mandatory military service today without a single media or fan member present to send him off. That’s quite a startling contrast to the majority of star enlistments, especially stars of his degree of popularity, where the media is camped out and his dedicated fans from all over Asia show up to wave their favorite oppa goodbye for nearly 2 years. For one thing, Yoo Seung Ho is probably not an oppa to 99% of his fans. He’s also not enlisting towards the tail end of the enlistment period but is rather enlisting when the majority of Korean men serve which is around 20-21 years old. Below are pictures of Yoo Seung Ho sporting a buzz cut at a farewell party this past weekend. He also released a short video on his fan café apologizing for enlisting so quietly but he didn’t want to distract from other enlisting soldiers by the media presence because serving his military duty at this stage in his life is what he wanted to do. Yoo Seung Ho makes me love him more with every career decision he makes whether its choosing supporting roles for the variety and breadth of experience or electing to experience military life with most Korean men in his age group rather than delaying until the very end. I’ll miss him dearly but it’s with a happy heart I send him off. Be good, get some army abs, and noona will be here waiting for you in two years. He has been really busy acting the last two years alone, leaving four dramas and a movie behind. There is the thriller Blind with Kim Ha Neul, the sageuks Warrior Baek Dong Soo and Arang and the Magistrate, the weepy melodrama Missing You, and the time-traveling romance Operational Proposal. There is bound to be something for everyone to rewatch while waiting for him to return.

  • Awww I'll miss him! But I'm SO PROUD of the way he decided to enlist - no need for grandeur but instead stepping up to the call and handling it like a man. When he returns he'll be totally leading man status - older, more matured physique and mentally - which is GREAT. 2 years will pass by in a whiz :)

  • I am actually proud that a boy who has grown up in the k-entertainment world has still managed to stay so grounded and humble. Even though he will be missed, I have no doubt that he will come back a even better man and continue to wow us with his integrity and good nature.

  • Wow! He is one classy person. I just love that he hasn't made a big deal out of enlisting, and that he wanted to go quietly. Not only does it make me respect him more, but I think it shows how mature he is. I am sure he will endure the military well, and come out ready to take on even more projects, and just continue to be fabulous and awesome! Yoo Seung Ho hwaiting!

  • I haven't really watched anything he's been in, but he seems like a good kid. And smart to given the recent issues with celeb soldiers to do it like this. He'll probably be owning everything in 2 years since all the 86,87 and 88er actors will be leaving and he'll be coming back at 22/23 without the MS issue hanging over him.

  • I actually have tears in my eyes...
    I think mostly because he is such a baby and has to go put up with all that institutionalized bullying.

    He did already fake experience it in OP, so maybe he will blink and it will be over.

    What a class act, our YESH. Stay healthy!!

  • He still looks good with a shaved head! I'm glad he's chosen to go ahead and to get this part of his life over with. Such a talented young man... he'll be at the top of the casting list when he returns.

  • Awwwww gotta have a lot of respect for him. See you in two years and your noonas will be here to celebrate!
