Jo In-sung enlists

Another 28-year-old actor (or, in this case, he’s a few months shy of 28) — who’s been hyping up his army departure for months, with a “last movie” (Frozen Flower), a “last fanmeeting” (in Japan), and a “last photo shoot” (for a clothing ad campaign) — finally heads off to complete his roughly two-year service in the military.

Jo In-sung enlisted on April 6, sent off with the requisite camera crew and crowd of about 200 fans.

Jo had originally received his papers last November and planned to enlist in January, but then pushed the day back in order to complete promo activities for his last film, Frozen Flower.

He debuted in 1998 as a CF model, then rose to fame after roles on the MBC Nonstop campus sitcom, dramas like What Happened in Bali and Spring Days, and movies like A Dirty Carnival.

He’ll serve for 25 months as part of a special performers’ unit (military band) in the air force.

Frozen Flower tops Korean box office

Korean
movie Frozen Flower sold 310,000 tickets in just one day! By this
weekend, 1 million tickets would have been sold. The Showbox movie was
released on 30th Dec, 2008.

Frozen Flower (쌍화점) is a
tantalizing movie about homosexuality and betrayal set in ancient
Korean Goryeo Dynasty times. The flick which opens in South Korea this
week stars two of Korea's famous actors, Joo Jin-mo and Jo In-sung.

In
the movie, Joo Jin-mo plays ancient Goryeo's king who has to produce a
son to keep his throne. However, this king cannot sleep with a woman
and his romantic partner is his chief bodyguard, Hong Lim (Jo In-sung).
Their secret relationship begins to fall apart when the king decides to
ask Hong Lim to sleep with the queen (Song Ji-hyo) to produce an heir.

This
movie, directed by Yoo Ha is filled with explicit sex scenes (think Joo
Jin-mo and Jo In-sung) and graphic violence. Although the movie sets
itself out as a historical drama set in the late Goryeo Dynasty, the
story is purely fictional.
