Actor Woo Do-hwan will start mandatory military service on July 7, according to his agency KeyEast.
The agency announced his enlistment on Wednesday, saying the location and time of his boot camp entrance will not be disclosed.
“Due to the safety and health issues … (The actor) will not be holding any fan events or press conference for a farewell,” it said.
Woo, 27, also posted a handwritten letter on his social media the same day, telling fans of his acting career's temporary hiatus.
“Thank you for standing by and supporting me through my 20s,” he said. “It couldn't have been happier.”
Woo, who debuted in 2011, garnered attention for his work as the lead in cult thriller series “Save Me” in 2017.
He has starred in several TV dramas and movies, including his latest series "The King: Eternal Monarch" this year.
