Nam Joo-hyuk, a popular actor in South Korea, is getting ready to report for his required military duty in the month of December.
On Monday, October 17, the actor’s management company, Management SOOP, issued a statement confirming the news. According to a source from Soompi, the record label stated that “even if he does have to [enlist] in December, the precise date has not been established since he has yet to be sent a draft notice.” This is the reason why the exact date has not been fixed.
Due to the fact that he will soon be enlisting in the military, Soompi stated that the actor will allegedly wrap up production for his Disney+ series Vigilante by the middle of November. October is the month that will also see the premiere of his film Remember in theaters.
He is well recognized for his appearances in the television series Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo, The Bride of Habaek, Start Up, and Twenty-Five Twenty-One. Nam Joo-hyuk is currently 28 years old.
