Lee Jun-young to begin military service next month

Actor-singer Lee Jun-young, who appeared in the hit Netflix series "When Life Gives You Tangerines" (2025), will begin his mandatory military service in July, his agency Billions said Monday.

Lee will enlist in the Army on July 21, without any special events to mark the transition.

In a handwritten letter uploaded on his social media account, Lee said he had a lot on his mind after the date was set, promising fans to stay healthy and return as himself.

Lee, who made his debut as a member of K-pop boy band U-KISS in 2014, began acting in 2017, and has appeared in several series, including military action drama "D.P." (2021-23) and crime thriller "Weak Hero Class 2" (2025).

He released his first solo album, "Last Dance," last year and is currently appearing in the JTBC comedy series "Reborn Rookie."
