Lee Jong Seok Starts Promotions for Thriller Movie VIP and Requests Postponing Military Enlistment Date

• Once he joins the army, everything will be ok.

  • I thought he is serving as public servant not in the army unless its the basic training you are referring to or there's a change?

    Just wondering how long will deferment normally be granted?

• he's also just newly appointed as korean tourism ambassador and still pursuing his master degree. whether serving as a public servant or in the army, he still has many things unsettled. I really hope koala stop posting LJS related articles . its a click bait for haters in this website. I was shocked reading some unfortunate comments about him in the past articles. I think he is a nice person.

  • Master degree isn’t an excuse. Stop excusing an adult man, who has had more than enough time to do his duty to his country. Many men do this without complaining, and many celebrity men have completed their duty with honor too. LJS is going to public service anyway. He isn’t special who deserves exemption.

    • A request of delay isn't an exemption. I don't see why he shouldn't have the the right to request a delay like anyone else.

    • actually education can be reason for delay. learn your facts first.

• He is the LEAD in his movie alongside the other three veteran, and the title of movie refers to his role which is a VIP from North Korea.

  • He is 4th LEAD if you want to put it that way

    Did he do something to his nose again? The side profile looks weirder than normal.

    • haha high five, you put my thoughts into words!

    • yeah sure he did something to his nose it couldnt possibly be somthing like i dont know MAKEUP or LIGHTING maybe

    • Makeup and lighting can push your nose upwards? In that case, he should fire his stylist, along with his plastic surgeon.

    • yeah sure lets just assume he did something to his nose couldnt POSSIBLY be makeup or lights surely

    • @amb, his nose is really plastic. It looked okay before but in these pictures. you can clearly see how much he got his nose fixed. Looks like a silicone mold. So no, it’s not just lighting and make up. Also, he gotta go easier with that makeup.. he’s got so much bb cream/foundation that he looks whiter than his other co-sars or even his drama female leads. Whiter (and more feminine) than pretty Suzy who herself has naturally milky white skin...

    • Most big productions like New world or battleship island have multiple lead. So yup Jong Suk is a lead in this film . And he is the eponymous VIP, the movie is centred around him

      Stay salty honey

    • That was meant for @ceci.

      @prettyautumn

      Shoo shoo. Go away you pathetic troll.

  • I agree with Shelter, it's obviously an ensemble cast. I don't get the hate surrounding Lee Jong Suk, he's a good actor imo. Kim Myung Min himself has acknowledged his talent.

  • prettyau tumn is so pathetic it is embarrassing.

• haters just hate, they are just to be ignored...

  • Totally agreed, just look at prettyautumn bashing about Lee Jong Suk's nose which has absolutely ZERO relevance to the news about him requesting for a postponement. Someone needs to look up the different between postponement and excemption. Anyway, I feel bad for the backlash he's getting, but I also think he was prepared for it. It's been a big issue recently with Yoo Ah In and Seo In Guk, so I doubt that he'd be unaware. He's a hardworking and dedicated guy, I don't find it hard to understand that he wants to settle some matters first. Sure not everyone does it, but it's a personal choice and should be respected. People need to get a life. Period.

• His nose looks so scary unnatural and plastic. Looks like it will melt down in his older days... he should just do his duty to his country without delaying it for another two years..

  • how mature of you bashing someone's looks. you yourself must look perfect

    • so it's ok to give praise to someone who is beautiful but not to someone who looks unnatural? his nose looks weird to me too... why can't we tell the truth??

    • yes its not alright there is a saying if dont have anything nice to say just dont say anything at all. everyone has differnt opinions but there's a difference in expressing your opinion and making fun of someone. If you dont like his acting or personality then thats another thing but making fun of someone for their face is simply rude and immature.

    • I am not totally disagreeing with you. But calling someone immature for a comment is a fact of "immaturely" to yourself! In my culture, we are open to criticisms whether it is good or bad, take it or leave it... can we all speak our minds instead of being faked? Isn't this the reason for the "Comment" section? Calling someone "immature" is also a mean of making fun of someone and be rude. do you know?

    • The person i am calling immature is an LJS hater but literally comments on every single one of his articles saying bad stuff about him over and over again, like isnt once enough? just count the number of comments she wrote just about his nose in THIS ARTICLE ALONE (which is about his code of conduct and not about his looks). I dont care to call someone immature over the internet but if calling this person that makes me immature as well, then so be it. ✌

  • i dont mind. his nose looks mighty fine to me plastic or not. I'm also glad he postpone his enlistment. I want him to act as many dramas as possible before that.

• I don't understand what's the fuss about it...Lee Jong Suk is a 89', he should still have time (like 1/2 years) before enlisting. For instance, Lee Min Ki has enlisted rather late for someone born in early 85 (August 2014/ Song Joong Ki who was born the same year enlisted in 2013 for comparison!)Did he get flack for it? No.

• Why are we complaining about a country's response to their own stars enrolling into compulsory military service or in this case public service? With the crazy NK dictator next doors, it is understandable he is getting flack for delaying his service until whenever. He can't even man up to say exactly when he will be entering the service???

• I don't understand why everyone is getting into a tizzy over this. It seems to me this has to be the norm for celebrities. Joo Won, Ji Chang Wook and Lee Min Ho are 87's and they just enlisted. SMH over all of this self-righteous indignation.

  • I give total respect to Kang Ha-neul who is a 90's child and is going to start his service this September.

• I knew the moment I read about possible delaying enlistment that he will get a lot of hate, because the reason to the delay is not due to something like health but related to work and school and to many this sound like an execuse. As for work he is not the only actor on both projects there are other actors and actress that can do the promo, as for his master he will be able to continue after his enlistment, is not something that if he does not do it now he will never do ever in the future. Anyway I wish him the best and when he does enlist hooe he stay safe and healthy.

• I think it also has to do with his company. YG artists (actors, idols, models) had had a lot of scandals before or during the enlistment, that people will think the worst. When I first read anout this my fisrt thought was, "Wow, they must be stupid, because the tons of backlash he'll face will be doubled because of YG"... TOP scandal is still currently hot.

  • Big I D I O T! what has YG have anything to do with their actors decision. LGS just stated his own decision related to his personal commitments, did he ever say his company forced him to postpone his duties?? you're a hateful fantard from other actors in other agencies, how immature you're looking, shame!

    • We've got a delulu YG stan here ☺

    • @prettyautumn, you should look in the mirror, its real you who's the real delulu hater here, you should just kill yourself if life is too sad for you, you're pathetic!
