Jung Il Woo Begins Alternative Military Service After Wrapping Up Basic Training


jung il woo

Actor Jung Il Woo completed basic training on January 5 and has begun his alternative military service. He entered the Nonsan army training center in December 2016, and has since completed his four weeks of basic training.

A representative of Jung Il Woo confirmed the news on January 9, adding that, “Jung Il Woo was extremely disappointed that he could not serve on active duty. He expressed the desire to fulfill his military service requirements, even if it has to be through alternative service.”

Jung Il Woo was given a “Grade 4 Alternative Service” verdict during his conscription examination due to a car accident he was involved in 10 years ago. In 2013, he was diagnosed with a cerebral aneurysm, which is caused by a swelling of blood vessel walls. The actor made the decision to decline a re-evaluation and a possible exemption, opting for alternative service instead so he could complete his military service duties.

Hi irilight, thanks for sharing this here. In Korea, men are obliged to go under a physical examination once they turn 19 by the Military Manpower Administration, which determines their physical fitness level, or grade, for military service. In physical examination, the check-up involves tests of psychological and physical health, while the administrative process assigns new entrants to different posts, based on their backgrounds and preferences - this is done before enlistment. After a few hours, the men are divided into five different categories, in order of fitness: active duty, reserve duty, secondary reserves, eligible conscription status and secondary conscription status.  Level 4 will serve as public personnel, but still go through the same basic military training and commuting from home. Those who have severe vision problems - farsightedness or astigmatism - will be categorized in the fourth class. Those who have breathing difficulties, like obstructive sleep apnea, will also to be placed in the fourth class, where they are assigned to work in social or civil service facilities for 24 months. :blush:

Actor Jung Il-woo enjoys popularity in Thailand

 

South Korean actor Jung Il-woo (Yonhap)

SEOUL, Jan. 13 (Yonhap) -- South Korean actor Jung Il-woo is riding a wave of popularity in Thailand thanks to a local TV series starring him, the drama's local PR agency said on Friday.

"Love and Lies," which marks the first Thai drama starring a Korean actor as the main character, emerged as a local internet sensation in the first two episodes aired on Monday and Tuesday via Thai TV network "true4U," the company Shall We Talk said.

Users of the channel's mobile application and website have surged as well, up to 2.6 and 3 times higher than usual, respectively, signifying the spotlight and love the show is receiving.

Jung, playing the male lead Tim, displays a colorful acting spectrum as he portrays various sides of the cold yet romantic PR manager of an entertainment giant.

The actor, who enlisted in mandatory military service last year, is currently fulfilling his army duties.

All able-bodied South Korean men are subject to compulsory military service for about two years in a country that faces North Korea across a heavily fortified border.
