Actor Jo In Sung said his goodbyes to civilian life as he started serving his nation from today.
Jo In Sung reported at 1pm this afternoon at the Republic of Korea Air Force Education and Training Command in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province where he will receive 6 weeks of basic military training. Thereafter, he will then serve out the remainder of his 26 months of national service with the military performers section (band, music, MC work, etc).
Jo In Sung had enrolled for the military performers section during the enlistment exercise last November. He was supposed to enlist in January 2009 but delayed the call-up to 6th April. due to promotions for his movie Frozen Flower. He wrapped up his schedule with his last CF for clothing brand Aiden recently and had also took part in fan meetings in Japan and Korea last month to say goodbye to his fans who hated to see him leave.
Jo In Sung spent the entire day with his family yesterday and left for Jinju this morning. Fans from his fanclub including Japan, etc were present to send off Jo In Sung.
His enlistment comes amidst high tensions on the Korean peninsular where South Korea, Japan, China and America are closely monitoring North Korea attempted missile/satellite launch which failed and landed in the Sea of Japan over the weekend.
