Lee Dong-wook enlists
by javabeans
Lee Dong-wook headed off to fulfill his two-year military service requirement on the afternoon of August 24, sent off with love and chocopies. (Is there a better way to go?) He arrived at the training center in Nonsan, Chuncheong province, to undergo the usual five weeks of basic training there before being assigned to active duty. A crowd of approximately 100 fans showed up to wish him well.
In order to complete work on his latest film, Bean Paste, Lee arranged to film through his last day, wrapping his part in the movie on the 23rd.
Lee Dong-wook made his screen debut in 1999 in MBC’s Best Theater series, after which he acted in movies like horror film Arang and romantic comedy Perfect Couple, and television series like the trendy romance My Girl and dark drama La Dolce Vita.

he just wished to enter quietly, that's why his agency released the news only 1 week prior to his enlistment. he likes to stay low profile.
the Chinese media commented, despite in short hair, Lee Dong Wook still looks charming :)
stay put, Wookie ! starts to count down ...

Hiks.. I just finished watching Partner, and I"m in love all over again with him. Be careful Wookie, stay away from the big scary guys. They might think you're pretty just like we all do.

A lot of people are saying that time flies by easily and that two years can pass by without us noticing it. But how come I feel like it's too long? Geez. Call me crazy.
Anyway, I just hope he'll have a good comeback after his military service. There are actors who were not able to put up a good comeback after serving the military. I just hope this won't happen to Lee Dong Wook. He's too talented and not being able to comeback to acting is a waste. So fingers crossed for his comeback!
...and of course, I hope he'll be safe! Be healthy!
Going to miss him! :(
PS: I envy the fans who were able to see him before he entered the training. Lucky! If I were only living in Korea, I'd definitely go and see him! Lol.

*waves* Wookie I'll miss your cute smile! Take care ok? *waves*
He really looks young in that first pic! Adorable as ever though. And choco pies to help send them off? Sweet! :P
It is quite good to see the recent enlistments of Wookie and Kim Rae Won where the enlistee seems postive, cheerful and happy on the day they enlist. As a fan will miss seeing their projects for the next 2 yrs. Am sure it is not the easiest adjustments to enlist - but both these guys make it seem like a postive thing not a 'oh c$#p this is interrupting my money making opportunities!' (which probably is true too LOL)
But it could just be that these are guys who are in a special class of their own. They are both cute and adorable in their own way. Their respective smiles on their enlistment days make me think that - yep they will be fine. I look forward to the day they come out.

So, he's still using the same handphone's strap that cause the rumours between him and Lee Da Hae. Lee Da Hae also still using the strap sometimes.
Will miss him for sure and I'm rewatching MY GIRL again to bring back the old good feeling.

I think out of all the guys so far I'm saddest to see him go. His acting has really improved over the years and I would like to see how taking a couple of years off will bring even more maturity or facet to his acting.

Partner made me want to watch La Dolce Vita and I was blown away by it. I am haunted by LDW's JS. I wish they had kept the OST instrumental. The pop songs were too cheesy and jarring for the otherwise terrific drama. What a fantastic cast.
Seeing these sweet happy pictures of him is almost a relief after watching him as the tragic JS.

So soon!!! I just barely heard about his enlistment last week and now he's gone on to serve his two-year military duty? How sad.
In my opinion Lee Dong Wook is one of the underrated actors in Korea. He swooned me in My Girl and I very much enjoyed his movie Heartbreak Library (or whatever its official title is, but you guys know what I'm talking about right?). I haven't had the chance to see most of his works, but because of My Girl I've always tuned in for news about him.
Even with the buzzcut he still looks good! He looks so much younger, but he doesn't look strange, which I suppose could only mean that he's so good looking that any type of haircut looks good on him. haha.
I'll def. miss him.

I'm going to definitely miss him a lot (I'm still in a huge Wookie withdrawal since Partner finished). One of my favorite actors...with LDW gone, there's going to be a huge void...
LDW Fighting! I'll see you back in two years! (starts to count down)
