K-ent Looks Forward to the Discharge of Four Male Actor Leads in the Next Few Months: Park Bo Gum, Woo Do Hwan, Yang Se Jong, and Yook Sung Jae

The year 2021 is winding down and another batch of enlisted male lead level actors are returning from nearly two years away in mandatory military service. That means the casting calls for next years K-dramas and/or movies will have returning names to shake up the scene. The biggest name return is also the last to come back in this batch – Park Bo Gum will be discharged in April of 2022 and of course he’s already receiving love calls based on industry buzz. Woo Do Hwan will be returning on January 2, 2022 and he’s confirmed for the Netflix drama Hunting Dogs (Hounds) so he’s set for his post-return project. The first one back is next week with Yook Sung Jae on November 14th but so far no word yet from his agency on whether he’s hustling to dive right back in or will take his time to assess. And last but not least, Yang Se Jong follows in discharge on the following day November 15th and I’m expecting to see him back on the small screen for sure in 2022.

When is Seo Kang Joon enlisting? I can’t think of any other young stars who should be enlisting soon.
if im not wrong he enlisted early before starting his career
Noooo!!!!! Not Shin 3!!!!
He is scheduled to enlist on Nov 23, according to Soompi. T__T
He just finished shooting a drama for Disney+ early November, and he shot a movie earlier this year, so he has been rather busy and there is stuff to tide fans over.
SKJ is enlisting on November 23rd, according to Soompi. He recently finished filming for a drama for Disney+ and the “Happy New Year”-movie, which will be released next year.
Looking forward to Park Bo Gum’s military discharge in April 2022. Expecting more demanding and strong character in movies with a lot of substance or content.
Waiting for bogummy.i so miss this dude.hope,earlier as planned.. So excited for bo gum…
yang sejonggggggggggggg cant wait to see him in my screen again 😀
OMO, he s gonna be out soo, time flew so fast.
So excited to see him also
Yay Bohummy will be back soon! I’ve missed him. Hopefully he’ll pick a better quality and more interesting project for his comeback drama. His choices have all been rather questionable these few years.
Cannot believe how time flies in terms of end of their military service and yet at the same time how time seems to slow down because of the pandemic. I feel like those who enlisted during the pandemic might have been better off in terms of seemingly minimal impact to what they have missed in k-ent due to pandemic restrictions.
Wow, times flies so much. Now It’s Seo Kang Joon line times I think. Wonder WHy he hasn’t enlisted yet?
Hasn’t Yook Sungjae been discharged early? It’s been a month I think.
Sungjae is technically on vacation and still technically enlisted. He still can’t have activities until his official discharge. As explained by leader-nim Seo Eunkwang
Compared to when LMH, LJS, KSH, JW were being discharged this line up is pretty weak. Only PBG is relevant here the rest are still not big stars. The next big lineup of popular actors will be when SK, LDH, NJH and KYD enlist. Can’t believe the 94-95 line will be up for enlistment soon.
Yook Sung Jae? I’m surprised in his this list. He never really had a main role. Mystic Pop-up Bar, it was more an ensemble of cast. He never had to carry a drama. I don’t say he can’t. I just don’t know.
I realized it’s very different. Some actors are really good in second role but failed in lead ones like Ji Soo (before his scandal) or Jang Ki-yong, they are overshadowed by the other actors.
The time flies fast. I’m happy for them to come back to their life 🙂
It’s bcs he’s rejected a lot of project before bcs he’s want to do more activities with his group. Maybe you don’t know but he’s an idol and in a group called BTOB. You said he never carried a drama but I’d say he carried ‘Who Are You School 2015’even tho he’s a second lead. FYI, Sungjae is really big in Korea and he’s one of the highest paid actor despite having less drama or movie project.
I know he’s an idol. But I don’t think it’s a reason, a lot of idols can do both. And he was an entertainment shows like We Got Married or Master of the House.
It was Kim So-Hyun who carried Who are You School 2015 by playing 2 roles! I agree that he was better than NJH.
He’s acting since 2014, he’s not a newbie anymore.
Okay, am I the only one that confused Yook Sung Jae with Seo In Guk, Yeo Jin Goo with Kim Min-Jae, Wi Ha Joon with Kim Kyung-nam? Seriously, someone needs to do a drama/movie where they act as siblings, seriously. Also, Park Sieun and Park Bo Young.
Omg , u said everything. I always get confused between these 4 pairs.
That’s fast! Seems like they just enlisted.
