Its sad that LDW is going to his NS duty. but its an obligation to his country. we will wait for you until you comback..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I just sat there my eyes wide open when I first read the news.
I'm going to have to watch all his dramas of ever a million times until he comes back. Gosh I already miss him. D: He's changed so much for every drama, his acting skills are basically brilliant now. It's sad to see the men go off, one by one, and disappear for two years but it's for the country I guess. :)
We'll all be waiting. <3

So soon? When's the latest a person can enlist? or do you get served with papers and pretty much have to go when they call you up?

Thanks ! yes, learnt about this yesterday from his Japan FC. been depressed since last night.

even though, i have all along dreadfully wanted him to go asap ...

# 3 kk -

i guess it's quite fair if you look at Jo In Sung who was born about 4 months before Lee Dong Wook has been enlisted few months ago, it's about time for Wookie to join ...

he is a great and devoted actor. am proud of him.

oh noes!! wookkiiiieee..we'll miss you..waahhhh!!

This one breaks my heart.

I have always liked him but now I love him after Partner. The drama wasn't the greatest but the two leads are so likable and had amazing chemistry. It's the first time in a long time since I went giddy over the romance in a drama. I have become quite jaded so it was nice to be swooning again.

I can't say I'm not sad about this one : (

Happily, I've been saving a couple of his movies...maybe I can just make them stretch out for two years...

this is what i'm afraid of. but it happens. :(

Junki seems next on the list,....what are we gonna do for the next two years.

first KRW and now Wookie :( it's gonna be a bleak next 2 years... but i'm glad he's not shirking his duty.. we'll all be waiting for him when he comes back! :)

NOOO! I don't want him to go yet! No!! but I understand, but still, NOOO! so sad. :(

oh no!!!! all my favorite Korean actors are now serving in the military!!!

Kim Rae Won, Jo In Sung, Jae Hee, now Lee Dong Wook!!!

The only ray of sunshine is hat Gong Yoo will be released from military at the end of this year! But who knows when his next project is! He deserves some break too.

aw shuckss! he's such a terrific actor & im gonna miss seeing him on tv now! wonder how he'll look with a buzz cut though (:

I have always loved this guy. In fact, I started to be a big fan of him during his My Girl days so this news came to me by surprise even though there were already a lot of rumors about him joining the army. Two years? That's too long! Way too long that I'm already starting to hate this "two-years-of-military-service" thing. :( Anyway, good luck to him! As much as I hate this news, a part of me thinks that it's already time for LDW to go. Two years maybe a LONG time but we can wait, right? See you after two years LDW! August 2011! Yay! :)

OH NOOOO!!!! not WOOKIEE NOOO!!! this is heartbreaking!! :'( two years it too long, im gonna go cry now. I love him so much! he is an amazing actor, im gonna miss watching him on tv *sniff*, why are they all leaving!!! =(.

Good luck for wookie and we'll see him in 2 years =)

i;d like to know, who else is on the going to the army soon list?? i don't want to get shocked anymore so im preparing

This is really depressing, but I knew it was coming soon (after KRW, I had a feeling LDW would be next). I've always enjoyed watching him and totally loved him in Partner (flawed, but LDW was really fun and he and KHJ had such good chemistry).

I swear LDW gets better with age and it feels like his eyes have become more soulful overtime. There were scenes in Partner where he would just convey his feelings with his eyes and you can't help but feel for him. He has improved so much as an actor and I'm going to really, really miss him on screen.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I feel like he just got back to shooting dramas.....and now he's leaving!
I understand that most actors wait until their in their late 20's to go serve their military duty, but wouldn't it be better to get it done earlier?

I'm gonna miss LDW... he was pretty good in Partner, which seems to be his last kdrama before joining the ranks for that two year service...

Ahhh, the mandatory army service... I'm still sad about all the hotties doing their service now... I miss my Shinhwa boys ~

Javabeans, I heard that they still get vacations... but they just can't go on TV? Is that true?

*sigh* this is so depressing.. i'm so sad right now, i want to cry..just like In sung oppa went to army.. :(
well i think this is it.. we all know that it's mandatory

we will miss you wookie.. stay safe..

omg, i'm crying right now..ahhhhh!!!!

:( im totally going to miss seeing him..how freakin depressing that all the actors i like have left or are about to leave

No! This is sadtimes. Already anticipating his return.

Oh dear - another one! While I knew he had to go eventually - it seems so sudden. My mum is so going to miss him - she recently started watching 'My Girl' and is loving it (I had told her ages ago she would LOVE it. Sheesh mothers!)

This month's crop of enlistments - first Kim Rae Won and now him - is breaking my heart! But then again they will be back - fitter, stronger and (even) sexier! Thank goodness for DVDs. Not to mention those who have already served their military duties - like (Duty Free) KJH (hehe a pun there!), So Ji Sub and Cha Seung Won.

Slightly off topic - has Yosama (BYJ) served his NS yet? Cause think the ajumma's of JP would be heartbroken if he was to enlist.

Time to watch Partner!

sniff... sniff... another actor i'm going to miss seeing on tv...
i always like him after My Girl, and i like him even more after Partner...
agree with most of other opinions, LDW and KJH has good chemistry with each other...

#26 bspanda, did duty free KJH means he didn't have to serve the military?? why??

and to add another question, has Lee Seon Gyun and Yoon Kye Sang served their military duties yet??

I still hope we can hear something from him. Sort of updates? I heard Gong Yoo had this radio program? Not sure though. :(

Still can't get over. But anyway, they all have to serve the military anyway and I think it's time for LDW to go. :( It's just sad that he had to attend military service (for TWO friggin years!) during the peak of his career. Wookie! :(

Yeah... sobs sobs...

Just finished Partner... (Wookie was really good in the last episode!)...and now I have to face the fact that he's leaving for MS soon. And very soon that is... =(

So many actors that I like have left for MS (eg. KRW, JIS...etc), but Wookie is one that I will miss very very much and dearly.

All the best to him and FIGHTING!!

OMG!!!!w0okie!!!
can't see you for tw0 years???
we'll be waiting f0r you~~
=(

I am so bummed out!!! I was just starting to love him as an actor. Geez

E.

Oh! No! That means there's no sequel to Partner???? I thought for sure there was going to be.... It felt like there was more to come...

OMG! I´m so sad, oh no my oppa!! But with that devotion he´s proving what kind of actor is he... a great one of course! I´ll wait for you... we´ll wait for you!

oh nooooo! first it's jo in sung, now it's lee dong wook! what would this year leave me...a broken heart?

Another one?? This 2-years mandatory MS is getting out-of-hand (and annoying). One after another. What's sad is when they have to leave close to the peak or at the peak of their career - kinda anti-climatic. I guess we must look to the positive side. They'll look much better when they come back in 2 years. And we'll have Goong Yoo back soon.

On another note, I admire LDW's dedication. Haish...that's another reason why it's so difficult to let some of these guys go...

That means we have to wait for at least 2 years for the sequel to Partner? I really luv that drama but it left me feeling unsettled- especially the leads, I feel their romance is just beginning ...

I just hope he comes to Singapore anytime ):

Tomorrow is the big day. :(

I always wondered how BYJ got out of his military duty.

the glasses he used to wear were fake ones not prescription lenses. He did lots advertisements for an eyeglass firm.

It's a mystery.
