Farewell Yoo Seung Ho! Yoo Seung Ho Officially Enlists in Army

[exo-cath.livejournal.com]

Heartthrob actor Yoo Seung Ho (age 20) has recently and officially enlisted in the army for his mandatory military service.

Yoo Seung Ho was enlisted on March 5 at around 2PM, sent off by his agency’s CEO and his family. Sources from Yoo Seung Ho’s agency spoke with My Daily and said, “There was nothing special. It was the same as usual. He just said, ‘I’ll do a good job and come back.’”

They continued, “He did not choke up or anything at the place. I don’t know if he tried to hide those kinds of feelings but he seemed bright and cheerful.”

On this day, Yoo Seung Ho posted several photos and a video clip on his fan club before he enlisted to say his final words of goodbye to his fans. The photos and video showed Yoo Seung Ho’s newly buzzed hair cut as he said, “I feel sorry that I have gone without telling my fans the enlistment date,” and “The army is a natural part of everyone who is around my age and this is something that I wanted very much.”

He continued, “For more than ten years of my career, I received a lot of stress and even thought that I’d like to escape this repetitive cycle of my life,” and “I wanted to have a new experience.”

He also said, “When you see this, I’ll already be enlisted,” and “I thought quietly enlisting without telling anyone would be better for all the other soldiers who were enlisting on the same day.”

He also added, “I can’t express everything I’m feeling with words but I am so excited right now,” and “I will try my best as a soldier for 2 years and I will meet you all after I get discharged. Don’t forget me till then!”

loool

[lenra.livejournal.com]

lmao what a difference

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

At least he'll still be considered young (by industry standards) when he is back and he'll have a long career ahead.

[921227.livejournal.com]

MTE. He is being really smart about this

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Aww he still looks cute with that buzz cut. I'm glad he had a quiet enlistment and was there with his family.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

20? Leeteuk would never.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Not without a parade.

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

omg the first half of the title freaked me out i was like NOOOO NHF DEATH POST

[sebsob.livejournal.com]

*sigh* He really is one of the few actors/celebs that endears himself to me more and more with each role, act and word. I don't know him of course, but still I wish him the best of success and most definitely won't forget him any time soon.

I think it's SUPER smart of him to enlist now so he won't have to take a break later on in his career like so many others do.

Also, I was just kind of skimming this and the way "2PM" was written made my heart skip a beat for a second thinking that someone from 2PM surprise enlisted haha.

ME TOO ABOUT 2PM

"For more than ten years of my career" I always forget how big his resumé is already.
Good for him for doing quietly. And for going now, good career choice. Right now he's kinda stuck playing 2nd leads, either teenagers or characters too old for him. This way he'll transition naturally into more adult roles and have his career ahead of him without having to worry about enlisting. He's already beloved so it's not like the ones who hit it big only to have to enlist in the same year.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I didn't consider him stuck at playing 2nd leads since all the 2nd leads choices were made by him since to him, they are more interesting than the main lead characters -- which I agree.

But you're right, by the time he comes back, he can play the type of main lead that actor like Joo Won/Ji Chang Wook is doing right now. By that time, he is mature enough to take a more serious role as a main lead in a more serious drama. :D

flawless icon bb

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) I'm itching to re-watch Arang XD

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

So proud of how he's handled things. The fact that it endeared him to the public is just a big plus.

BE SAFE, BB! PLEASE RETURN WITH SUPER HOT ABS FOR YOUR COMEBACK DRAMA. :)

[surfandlurk.livejournal.com]

Idol companies should let their idols enlist this early than having it late. They would get less hated by the public and have longer years in the industry. They go in young and still get out young.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

I think they should have to enlist before debut so it doesn't interrupt their careers (unless they were child stars)

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

omg this cutie pie! im gonna miss him but its good that hes getting over with it right now, hes gonna come back even hotter ;)

[tiggie0307.livejournal.com]

I cried when I read this this morning. 22 months...he'll be back in no time I know, but man I'm going to miss him so much!

[love-allure.livejournal.com]

you know juat? every interview i've read of his, it's like his mom controls every aspect of his career and that he wants to escape that cycle of life. so i'm thinking he enlisted early to get away from his stage-mom. lol/jmo

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

seems like the guy wants to escape the celebrity/actor life. good for him for enlisting this early. best of luck to him.

[yingmoon26.livejournal.com]

He also said, “When you see this, I’ll already be enlisted,” and “I thought quietly enlisting without telling anyone would be better for all the other soldiers who were enlisting on the same day.”

that is seriously thoughtful of him. he seems really down to earth and sincerely doesn't want the attention. he seems excited and happy to join the army too.

[epona.livejournal.com]

this is a good move for him tbh, he's still seen as a child actor and now he'll be able to come back with a manly soldier image.

[junhos-butt.livejournal.com]

"noona loves you. take care of yourself." ;~~~;

[earthequality.livejournal.com]

I love how he's doing this for himself, as well as how smart it is for him to go early. Seungho already has such an anticipated career, the hype will only be higher once he gets back and he'll have more roles after he's older. <3

[bracelet3.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOO. But I guess this is smart, completing it while he is still (very) young.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

T_____________T

I'm so gonna miss him. His last drama didn't excite me so I when he announced that he gonna enlist a few months ago, it breaks my heart since I have to wait 2 years for his new drama.

[bumie.livejournal.com]

very smart move , I wish him good luck

[falling-cookie.livejournal.com]

this is such a smart move. I'm gonna miss him but when he comes back but least I won't be creeped out by crushing on him when he comes back.

[genie17.livejournal.com]

I'm going to miss this kid. Good decision for not delaying your army duties like so many....*cough*

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I'm going to miss him but it's a smart move
he'll be around 22 when he gets back which is not "old" in this industry
