Korean heartthrob Chun Jung-myeong joined the Army on Wednesday for two years of mandatory military service.
The 28-year-old actor began a five-week basic training course in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, after bidding farewell to his fans and reporters.
Chun said that he chose to perform his duty as an "ordinary" soldier, not as an "entertainment" soldier. Entertainment soldiers is a term given to celebrities dispatched to a new Armed Forces unit that provides programming for military TV and radio broadcasts.
Chun had been delaying his entry to military service, because of his unfinished film "Hansel and Gretel."
