Lee Jun-ki begins his military service
by javabeans
(Good lord, he looks TWELVE!)
Well, the time has come, and Lee Jun-ki (Hero, Time Between Dog and Wolf) is off to fulfill his mandatory two-year military service. He headed off to the Nonsan training center on the afternoon of May 3, where he will undergo basic training for five weeks and then move on to twenty months of active duty.
Lee expressed his thanks to his supporters, and was sent off by a large crowd of 500 fans (which is pretty large for this sort of event; other actor send-offs tend to number around 100 or 200).
Lee had received his enlistment papers on April 12, and had applied for a deferral in order to fulfill his commitments to the movie Grand Prix and the drama Faith, both of which he had agreed to do. However, he was not granted the extension and the final decision came on April 28. Grand Prix, which has already begun filming, now needs to find a swift replacement, while Faith has a bit more time to re-cast.

his hair! gone =( anyways he still looks pretty good with the buzz cut. While on other celebrities, the hair cut would add 10 years, lee jun ki just looks younger! i can't wait till he gets out of the army. all the guys look better after their 2 years.

ahhh... in a good way... not in the screaming way^_^ as some of you may had felt upon looking at his hair cut.
But I say... yeah for normal looking ears that stick out a bit and not looking like a celebrity but like the rest of us... ^_^ well, I should speak for myself, huh!
Good luck, Lee Jun-Ki... we look forward to your return. I haven't been this intuned to some one on military leave since So Ji Sub!!!
I absolutely adored Jun-Ki in KJmovie "Virgin Snow." I need to catch up on some of his dramas now! before his return!
I have to say I did not realize how much some one's hair could be so iconic until it's gone^_^. He sure is "pertty!"

Although Lee Jun Ki may never see this.....I wish him well. I truely wish him health, love, and happiness. Since he is my #1 I will wait faithfully until he returns. To me all other actors can only be second in my heart. PLEASE RETURN UNHARMED, UNTOUCHED, UNSCAVED. We(I) NEED YOU!!!!! .....Faithfully LunaSara.

He's too pretty for the army. I wonder if the guys will pick on him. LOL Then again, he's probably going to have a desk job or something.

sigh I really like his acting and he looks like one of those serious yet humble (to my eyes at least) actors who greatly contribute to Korea's film and drama productions

So when I looked at the pic I was thinking "wow he looks like a little boy!!" and scroll down to see JB's caption "he looks TWELVE"...he really does look 12!! Who knew a simple buzz cut could make you that young.
Anyway see you in 2 yrs time Lee Jun Ki!

Does LJK have on makeup or not? His skin looks so white. Anyway, it is so sad that South Korean men have to give up two years of their valuable time just because of that crazy idiot up North.

NNNooooooooo.................(sad puppy face with pouts)
...........(sniffles) I really really REALLY miss watching him in a drama nor movie either because I thought he was doing so superb job at his acting like that! =)
I LOVE HIM since I had been watching him in = "My Girl", "Time Between Dog & Wolf", and movie "Fiy Up" --- I am really sad that I see him leaving to go to military service right now.......(sniffles)
Oh jeezzz.........I can't believe that we are still waiting for him to come back about 2 years (about 2012, probably so!) --- Oh for goodness' sake, I will be waiting for him to come back for 2 years! (sniffles) AWWWIES, Lee Jun Ki look so cute and youth when he has cutting his hair for military service, hehe! =)
** To Lee Jun KI = STAY HEALTHY & FIGHTING!!!!!!! ** (Thumbs up) ^________^

Is it only me who finds it odd that LJK was denied deferral when Kim Nam Gil who is an 81er, older than LJK by more than 1 year, was not called until just recently and then was granted deferral? Methinks someone somewhere had it in for LJK, or someone somewhere wants to promote Kim Nam Gil.
