FIRST!

They look so mushitsuh!
specially ohn joo hwan!
voluntarily going to the air force.
hes gonna come back wearing a HOT uniform. <3

not so news from jo hyon jae:(

So who is up next. It seems like there are two to three a week. May they all be safe.

That picture of Gong Yoo reminds me of Kang Ho Dong. But he's the hotter version. Lol.

waiting for Andy and Minwoo, I can imagined Minwoo shaved but Andy!!!
I saw DongWan and JunJin shaved before.

Su Young~ssi! We will be waiting for your return!

Ryu Soo-young doesn't look so bad with his buz cut

Nice photo collection of celebs and their insecurity after loosing their flock of hairs

The buz cut is not new to Eric. He did it many times in the past hence no awkward or embarrassment there. Although, I was pleasantly surprised to see him in such a good mood on his enlistment day (missing his sister wedding, no family member accompany him...). Guess there's no tears or sadness in this 4D leader's book (except for the dramas)

Dongwan & Junjin also did the buz cut before, no surprise for them neither.

"security blanket" is right :D my my, some of them smooth their new domes with such embarrassment like a part of their manhood's gone (...or exposed?) what an era of metrosexual we live in :D ryu soo-young looks completely different (and scary, ROFL!)
judging from the pix, eric could be a abusive serial killer, and still manage to be sex-eee...

You know, as much as I dislike the idea of a "forced military training," I almost feel it would be good for the U.S. Not only do we kind of need more people in the military to maintain the super power status (which is a whole other issue...), but we've become so complacent. SO many Americans take their lives for granted that it's nice to see Korean celebrities being humbled for a couple years. Can you imagine any American celebrity going off to boot camp? Wait. Didn't Paris Hilton do that? I dunno. It's just...something.

I agree with gallivanter. While it's a wonderful luxery for Americans not to force enlistment, I think it would do a lot of good especially for the upper elite who have never felt the equalizing hand of physical exhaustion. This would never happen of course but it would be amusing if refreshing to see messes like Peter Doherty or omg Spencer Pratt shaved and about to be shipped off >_>

Interesting part on the hair. I notice that the majority of Korean actors have longer, stylish hair so shaving it off is probably really uncomfortable. And, seriously, actors are pretty self-conscious about their looks (it's part of the business) so I can understand why they might feel they're less attractive with the Q-tip head.

@gallivanter
I don't think forced enlistment is good for the US at all. Celebrity or not, I would never want to see that during my lifetime. Sorry to disagree.

yeah... its good to do military service for the country just like in Taiwan and singapore but, the problem for these stars is when they come back after 2 years, they wouldnt be as popular as before... which will be sadder actually... hmm..

Remember Taiwan's Jimmy Lin (My Lucky Star), he was so popular before he joined the mandatory 2 year "boot-camp", but after he left the military camp, he couldnt get back his popularity... and only with My Lucky Star did people get to notice him again, and man, at 35 he is still darn cute

gallivanter - i agree - the American celebrities should be sent to the bootcamp too, they seriously need to get their manners back - LOL!

Wow, they really do look awkward compared to Eric. :\ But Eric has a nice shaped head, and he's just...*shivers*

Ive had my hair short for 4 years now, but I still spend the first 2 days post-haircut clutching my head like that, so I dont blame them. Ah sweet vanity... Oh well, may they have a safe and educational time in training...and may they come back ripped :)

Wow, it just struck me looking at those pics just how many guys have gone off to serve. Jae Hee particularly struck me because I love him and it's been a while since I've seen any of his new or old projects and now I suddenly remember that he's not exactly around to make some anymore. At least until the next two years.

I thought Eric looked awesome. We saw him with shaved head for a number of times during the course of his career. So, it wasn't that much of a shock. But I guess what impressed me the most is how he carried himself very well during the goodbye and all that. Gawd, I'm missing Eric already.

i think the buzz cut actually suits ryu soo young really well!

It's a guy thing. And putting on a hat works. Gong Yoo looked like a bear you just want to hug. Cute:) Aww, miss him.

Boy, everybody is leaving!

This makes me so sad, and makes me think about the Shinhwa boys.. Eric's gone already and pretty soon Dongwan's going to go too..

But i think they do still look good with their buzzed heads!

WE'll be waiting for them all to return safely!!!

ERic!! gosh how i miss him already!!!

why is everybody leaving around the same time?

I have a buzz cut and every time I cut it I spend the entire day rubbing my hand back and forth over my head. One because it itches and two because the stubble feels good. :-)

well, as much as i hate to see them get shipped off to the army... i somewhat take refuge in the fact that alot of them will be back in 2010... at the same time!

actually, thats what i say now... but ill prolly be in tears when my fav Shinhwa -- Minwoo goes next year T^T;;

RSY looks like the cartoon - i cant recall the name - Toy Story? - the astronaut... LOL... heheh...

^ buzz light year? hmm yeah i noticed about that shaving head thing. but i noticed a few who werent. i forgot who but there are. yeah i like that about eric. even if the buzz isnt new to him. i think its more like, im famous i shaved my head going to the army. i dont look as great. i think these peeps probably tried this look when they were young. but of course forgotten were the days. lol. but im sad people are leaving. i think mandatory MS is hard, but i think these guys well some of them turn out more grounded and better after... hmmm.. for a celebrity to go through the normal people's duty right.

It's interesting how hair makes such a BIG difference. These guys aren't as cute looking before they got their cut.
