Although he must enlist in December, the exact date is still unknown because he has not yet received a draft notification.
The Start-Up actor is 28 years old and was born in 1994. All Korean men under the age of 30 who are physically fit are required by law to enlist in the military.
Nam Joo-hyuk is not the first Korean celebrity born in 1994 to enlist this year, though. Before the year is through, a number of celebrities, including Kim Min-gue, Song Kang, Jinyoung of GOT7, Kai, and Sehun of EXO, must enlist in the military. The 18-month military sentence for Nam will be imposed.
Presently, Nam Joo-hyuk is acting in the Disney+ series Vigilante. Additionally, the outstanding actor’s movie Remember will be released on October 26. By mid-November, after his current tasks are over, the actor plans to enlist in the military.
Fans of Nam Joo-hyuk commented on the news of his military recruitment on social media. View a few of the comments below. In reference to the fact that the Korean entertainment industry had to cope with two important military-related issues, a fan said, “Still in denial,” using crying emojis.
The first confirmation came from Hyuk’s Nam Joo-agency, and the second came from BIG HIT MUSIC, who confirmed BTS’ hotly contested military registration and said the members would fulfill their civic obligations before enlisting one at a time, beginning with the eldest member Jin.
Nam Joo-hyuk is currently promoting his upcoming movie Remember, which hits theaters on October 26. In-gyu, a young man in his twenties, collaborates with Pil-joo, an elderly man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease who longs to exact revenge on the Japanese for their prolonged colonialism of Korea.
An upbeat character named In-gyu gets caught up in Pil-vengeance Joo’s plan. It would be fascinating to see how this peculiar pair, who first appear to have nothing in common, come to form this intriguing bond and embark on a crazy revenge plot.
He will also play Ji-yong, a college student who doubles as a vigilante in the drama adaptation of the same-named Naver webtoon. His protagonist, Ji-yong, enrols at the police academy in order to find and prosecute his parents’ enemies. He believes that offenders should not be given the benefit of the doubt and is critical of the current justice system. He thinks that current laws need to be strengthened so that even the worst offenders cannot escape.
Additional details on Nam Joo-hyuk
With dramas like Who Are You: School 2015 and Weightlifting Fairy, the talented actor has delighted his fans. Among others, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, Kim Bok Joo, and Start Up.
The year 2022 has been a mixed bag for the actor. He had great popularity with the coming-of-age drama Twenty-Five Twenty-One, which he co-wrote with Kim Tae-Ri. The drama became an international hit and won several awards in the process.
However, he experienced a personal setback when an unnamed classmate claimed online that the actor was a bully at school. All of the accusations were denied by management SOOP, who also threatened anybody disseminating false information about the actor with dire repercussions.
Dispatch then conducted a personal investigation among Nam Joo-old hyuk’s instructors and classmates, who attested to his exemplary conduct and denied the ongoing accusations.
