Hallyu stars Jo In-sung and Kim Jae-won are on their way to the barracks. In a tearful farewell, Jo, who will report for duty to the ROK Air Force on April 6, met with 700 of his fans at the Gwangjin Naru Art Center in Seoul on Monday.
The 28-year-old heartthrob is popular throughout Asia and has been one of the top Hallyu stars in the region through his popular television appearances such as "Something Happened in Bali" and the acclaimed 2006 gangster opus, "A Dirty Carnival," where he turned in a gritty performance that garnered him wide praise from both critics and moviegoers.
Meanwhile, fellow 28-year-old Hallyu star Kim Jae-won was processed into the army on Monday as an active serviceman according to his management company.
Kim reported for duty at the Chungnam Nonsan Army base and will undergo five weeks of basic training before beginning his 24-month service in the army.
Known as an actor with a million dollar smile, Kim made his television debut in 2001 with the SBS sitcom "Honey, Honey" and various television dramas such as "Wonderful Life" and "Hwang Jin-yi."
