“Lee
Min Ho will be a public service worker starting on May 12 at Gangnam District
Office,” his agency, MYM Entertainment, said. It added that the 29-year-old
actor will have no official schedule until that date and he will enlist
quietly.
Korean
men who start their military service usually undergo four weeks of basic
military training but it’s different in Lee Min Ho’s case.
He
will immediately start his duty as public service worker and he will be called
later by the Military Manpower Administration (MMA) to undergo the said
training within one year.
Lee
Min Ho got exempted from serving as an active duty soldier due to severe
injuries he and fellow actor Jung Il-woo suffered in a car accident in August
2006.
He
was only 19 when the accident happened that resulted in the actor staying in
the hospital for seven months due to serious leg injury. He got fractures in
his thigh and ankle and his knee cartilage was torn. During the operation, a 46
cm metal implant was put in his thigh.
Based
on the medical examination conducted by the military years ago, it was
concluded that he would not be able to serve in the active duty regardless of
the time of his enlistment.
Lee
Min Ho was also injured in another car accident while filming the drama “City
Hunter” in 2011.
His
last drama project was “The Legend of the Blue Sea” which aired from November
2016 to January this year.
