Shocking news came from Lee Do Hyun who will soon be enlisting in the military. The South Korean actor is scheduled to depart on August 14, 2023 after being accepted into the Air Force military band. Previously Lee Do Hyun had revealed his plans to enlist this year. Given that he has stepped on 28 years, the age limit for South Korean men to enlist in military service. 

Until finally Thursday August 3, 2023, Yuehua Entertainment announced the news of Lee Do Hyun's military enlistment to the public. "After receiving basic military training at the training center starting August 14, 2023, Lee Do Hyun will fulfill his duties through the military band ROKAF (Republic of Korea Air Force)," said Lee Do Hyun's agency statement as reported by Soompi.

Yuehua Entertainment reminded fans not to go to Lee Do Hyun's military training center. Instead, send support and enthusiasm for the star of the Korean drama The Glory. "No separate official events will be held on enlistment day, and we ask fans not to visit as this is a private event that will be attended by many soldiers and family members."

"Please send your warm support and enthusiasm to Lee Do Hyun who will return in good health after dutifully carrying out his military duties," said Lee Do Hyun's agency. Lee Do Hyun's assignment in the Air Force will be longer as it takes 24 months. 

Korean actors generally serve in the Army for 18 months. Meanwhile, Korean actors who serve in the Marines like Park Bo Gum take 23 months. So Lee Do Hyun is expected to complete his mandatory military service in the Air Force in 2025. Lee Do Hyun left not only fans but also his girlfriend Lim Ji Yeon. 

The actor believes that the distance and time that separated him from Lim Ji Yeon will not change their relationship. "He was aware that I would be enlisting soon. We just decided that we would do our best in the roles we were given." "I don't believe our relationship will be affected by that badly. But that's actually my personal opinion so I should ask his opinion," said Lee Do Hyun.
