[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Singer and actor Lee Jun-young is fulfilling his mandatory military service as an active-duty soldier in the Army.
Lee Jun-young enlisted in the Army on the 21st to fulfill his national defense duty. His entry into the training camp is scheduled to take place privately without any separate official ceremony. Prior to this, he personally announced his enlistment to fans via a handwritten letter filled with affection, receiving an outpouring of support from many.
Lee Jun-young, who debuted in 2014 as JUN, a member of the group UKISS, has been active in various fields, alternating between singing and acting. Beginning with the 2017 drama *The Revenge of Buam-dong*, he embarked on a full-fledged transformation as an actor and has established his presence with the public through consistent work.
Through dramas such as “Mr. Temporary,” “Please Don’t Date That Guy,” “Imitation,” “D.P.,” “Mask Girl,” “Weak Hero Class 2,” and “I Was Completely Duped,” as well as the films “Brave Citizen” and “Wasteland,” showcasing a wide acting range across various genres, Lee Jun-young has solidified his standing as an actor by building his own distinctive filmography.
In particular, in the JTBC drama *New Employee Chairman Kang*, which aired this year, he earned critical acclaim for his stable portrayal of a dual role—where the souls of Hwang Jun-hyun and Chairman Kang Yong-ho coexist—and the series itself concluded on a high note by breaking its own record for highest viewership ratings. Having recently wrapped up filming for the new tvN drama *Four Hands*, Lee Jun-young plans to continue connecting with viewers through his work even during his military service.
Through his agency, Billions, Lee Jun-young left a brief yet witty message of gratitude: “I’ll come back safe and sound. See you the winter after next. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year—twice over!”
Lee Jun-young, who has carved out his own niche by straddling the worlds of singing and acting, has solidified his presence as an actor through consistent work. As he temporarily pauses his activities to fulfill his military service, attention is focused on his upcoming projects—including *Four Hands*, which will be released during his service—as well as his future endeavors after his discharge.
The tvN Saturday-Sunday drama *Four Hands*, in which Lee Jun-young stars as Choi Jeong-yo, depicts the friendship, love, competition, and growth of young people who meet at an arts high school filled exclusively with musical prodigies. The drama is generating high anticipation with its star-studded cast featuring actors Song Kang and Lee Jun-young. It is set to premiere on the 29th of next month.
