It’s mandatory for every male between 18 – 35 in South Korea to join their military force for almost two years long. The rule apply to everybody including actor, sportsman and singer. Usually before enlisting public figure like actor or entertainer meet with their fans and share their feeling. Nowadays, the enlistment process become quieter as shown in the last couple years where entertainer went to military academy without telling their fans the exact date of enlistment.
This year, Korean entertainment industry will be left by several big name in the industry such as Ok Taecyon (2PM), Joo Won, Kyuhyun (Super Junior) and one of the most famous name in the history of K-Drama, Lee Min Ho. Lee Min Ho is will enlist on May 12, 2017 as Public Service Worker in Gangnam District Office.
As the date grow closer, Lee Min Ho is still busy with his schedule. Recently, the actor has just finished filming for commercial of coffee brand, Georgia Gotica Master’s Latte from the Coca-Cola Company. He perfectly portrayed the mood needed for the brand. The satisfaction is seen from the statement by the representative of the company that said “We’re highly anticipating the smooth and deep charisma that Lee Min Ho has, and we believe he will portray that premium image well. Lee Min Ho will be showing his stylish charms through his tall and slender figure in this television commercial, which will be aired sometime this month.”
This commercial filming is reportedly the last business assignment that needed to be done by the actor before enlisting quietly for mandatory military service.

Also, a word of praise for other Korean actors as well, such as Joo Won..
