Joo Ji-hoon begins military service
by javabeans
Joo Ji-hoon headed off to serve his two years of military duty on the afternoon of February 2. He will complete five weeks of basic training before heading into the reserve corps.
Despite the noise about his indictment last summer on charges of drug use, Joo still has ardent fans; his departure was attended by a group of 300, including approximately 100 who flew to Korea from Japan just to show their support.
The Goong, Antique Bakery and Devil star served community service and paid a fine for his drug use. He was also given a suspended jail term, although with a clean probation period he will not serve any time. Enlisting in army duty now is probably the smartest thing he can do now to rehabilitate his image. See ya in two years, Joo Ji-hoon!

Hair makes a lot of difference. It weakened Samson's strength, and it lessens some of these stars' appeal. Anyway, it's nice to see his loyal fans sending him off. I hope he does well and comes out a better man.

I'm so used to seeing his long hair, it was shocking to see his shaved head. JJH, you will always be Prince Shin. Come back strong and healthy. See you in two years!

Wow, he looks quite different bald.. I still love him as an actor, even through all this drug chaos. I hope he comes back and is able to pick up his career again.

Bald is definitely not a good look for him, but he'll be in the army, so I guess it doesn't matter. Can't wait to see you in two years JJH!

i didn't recognize him either but he's still looking handsome...he made a bad decision when he was recently indicted(?) but everybody makes mistakes so as a big fan, you still have my support & pray that you be safe during the service & may God guide you in your future endeavours! we hope the 2 yrs you'll be away would run short so we can see you again in good dramas! stay safe & God speed!

We all make mistakes and as long as we acknowledged it and repent we will be okay in the eyes of our creator. Let the one who has not sinned cast the first stone....So we can't judge a person like that. Surel all his fan knew this and stood by him in this difficult time of his life. GOOD LUCK Ji-hoon see you in another good drama after serving your beloved Korea. AJA

i didnt know he did drugs.. but nothing really changed for me.. i stil love and respect him as a fan <3 and i mean the important thing is is he wants to change... anyway hopefully 2 years of military work will change him in a good way and appear in some more dramas!! (a possible goong 2?!??!) well.. i already gave that up a LONNGG time ago.. but i can still hope ^^

I wa not aware at all!
I really like and hop that he will come back stronger soon.
His drug problem was not that big, I thought it was un fair to treat him that way!
Hope you'll be back stronger and that you'll still make us laugh and cry in your future works!
