Jae Hee and Jo Hyun-jae complete military service
by javabeans
Actors Jae Hee and Jo Hyun-jae began their military enlistment within a day of each other back in August 2008, and they’ll be discharged within a day of each other as well; Jae Hee will be released tomorrow, June 18, while Jo Hyun-jae will complete his service the following day.
According to the reps for the actors, fans are planning to greet both upon their exits, including a contingent from abroad. (Jo’s side expects nearly 500 to be in attendance, hailing from Japan, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and more.) Coincidentally, the last drama project for both actors before their enlistment was the same series, Three Dads, One Mom. (They played best friends who may or may not have fathered their other best friend’s daughter; when the friend is unable to have children, he solicits his best buddies as sperm donors.)
There was quite a list of stars who enlisted in the latter part of 2008, which means that we’ll soon be able to see their returns, including Eric, Kim Dong-wan, Tony Ahn, Jo Seung-woo, Ryu Soo-young, and Ohn Joo-wan.

Read in a JHJ fansite that JHJ fans from Mainland China are taking the red-eye flight to SK on June 19 to be there to welcome JHJ back to civilian life, and will take the flight back to China in the evening of the same day. These Chinese fans of Jo Hyun Jae are first time passport holders and their first trip out of China would be to SK to see JHJ!!!
Read also in several JHJ fansites that JHJ fans from North America are already in Seoul. They arrived there last June 16 and are now under the wing of one of JHJ's biggest fan's club in SK, everJOHYUNJAE. These fans from NA have been preparing for this event since last year, and arranged their trips abroad to coincide with JHJ's discharge from his MS.

Oh thank God, they're coming back! With the latest wave of actors who enlisted, I was starting to go into panic mode. I mean, it felt like every actor of my generation was going away. Heh. Great news, Sarah! Thank you!

GAH! My first K-celeb crush, Jae Hee. Now, if he can just star in a really good project ala "Delightful Girl Chunhyang" to erase the blah-ness of "Witch Yoo Hee" and "3 Dads 1 Mom," I will be one happy, happy camper.

These 1979/1980 born actors have returned from army
,while Lee Dong Gun (1980-er) had just left for military....LDG should have gone earlier with them....
I'm sure LDG would regret that...his peers had just completed but he was about to start

@30 shiningden - I am pretty sure LDG didn't want to be left behind by his peers either, but circumstances beyond his control dictated otherwise. Let's just wish him the best in his MS, and that he will come out stronger from his military service experience.
@34 ruthie - military service is mandatory for SK men.
I am so happy, I am in heaven, my prince JHJ is finally coming back. I read somewhere that he'll be in a drama by fall. Hmmmmmm, wonder what drama that would be....
