Lee Do Hyun Appointed as Narrator for Documentary Film Goodbye Phantom, While Serving in the Military

In the midst of his busy schedule while carrying out his mandatory military service, Lee Do Hyun was appointed as the narrator for the documentary Goodbye Phantom. The documentary Goodbye Phantom itself tells the story of a famous military pilot named Lee Jae Woo. Let's take a peek at the full story.

Lee Do Hyun is trusted to provide the narration for the military documentary film entitled Goodbye Phantom, which tells the story of legendary South Korean pilot Lee Jae Woo and his skills in piloting the F-4 Phantom II jet.

Being chosen as the narrator of a documentary about his expertise with the F-4 Phantom II jet marks a new achievement for Lee Do Hyun, whose name has recently become increasingly popular on the global stage thanks to his action in the film Exhuma. 

Currently, Lee Do Hyun himself is on a temporary hiatus from the entertainment industry because he has been serving in the Air Force Military Band since August 2023. The Goodbye Phantom documentary itself will invite the audience to follow the career journey of Pilot Lee Jae Woo, who made history as one of the pioneering pilots who flew the F-4 Phantom II after intensive training in the United States.

Lee Jae Woo began his journey in August 1969. He and five other Air Force pilots flew across the Pacific Ocean to deliver fighter jets to the Daegu base in South Korea. For three decades, Lee Jae Woo spent his time in the cockpit of Phantom Jets. 

Now at the age of 90, he continues to share his knowledge with students at Dongguk University's Graduate School of International Information. The documentary Goodbye Phantom was made with the aim of providing information about the historical significance of fighter jets, especially in South Korea, and also paying tribute to Lee Jae Woo's dedication to the world of aviation.

On June 7, 2024, South Korea officially bid farewell to the Phantom F4-E in a retirement ceremony. This moment marked the end of its 55 years of service in guarding the country's airspace. Meanwhile, the KBS1 documentary Goodbye Phantom is scheduled to air on June 20, 2024 at 22:00 KST (South Korean time), with Lee Do Hyun as the narrator.
