you shall be missed<3

Very impressive on all counts. Going to the marines isn't easy and without fanfare..and he didn't go kicking and screaming at the last minute like so many other guys. Two years will fly by quickly.

Will miss him but at least we get Ji Hyun Woo back in less than 10 days! May 6th I think.

For me he will always be Jae Hee from M2F. Miscast and cast at the last minute to save the day, he showed his emoting capabilities and some kind of maturity under that baby face. I wasn't sure he would be accepted in the Marines with his frail constitution... I guess the recent working out paid.
Good luck and come back in one piece. U.U

That's a man. I can never understand the big drama that some of them put up when they enlist. Fighting!! Marines are the toughies.

Prayers daily for your safe service. God bless.

I thought it was Seo Ji Suk in the picture, until I read the article. "Yoon Shi Yoon? 28? Huh?!"

Awh man! Not my Enrique!
Enrique was the first character that I saw Yoon Shi-yoon and I'd be lying if I say that his acting did not make me wish for my own Panda-baby-nosy-neighbour.
The fact that he enlisted in the marine corps and that too without any media coverage or fanfare makes me respect him as a person. Oppa, I knew you were awesome but I didn't know you were THAT awesome. 2016 can't come fast enough.

booohooohooohooohoo. sniffles
Keep safe lovey.

I think this is a smart move. It's so much better to enlist quietly then to make a huge brouhaha out of it (i.e. LT). And on a personal level, having a fans send-off before going to the army is like having to work till the last moment before enlistment, so I don't get why actors do that at all.

Seriously, rather than doing musicals and performances, going to the Marine Corps is a lot more interesting, no? I think he should be very proud of himself for serving in the marines. I mean, I thought guys would be proud to be in the toughest section in the army but apparently not very much so.

I know he will be enlisted soon but NOT THIS soon. 2 years is gonna be in flash but still *sad face*

To think now the 1986-ers are about to start enlisting... D: Gonna miss him~ :'(

Props to him for not making a fuss and just went ahead and enlisted. And for the Marines at that! Hopefully he stays healthy and safe during his service.

This certainly gives him street cred like no other, unlike another actor from a recently ended drama that's also soon to enlist, but will be doing musicals for his service.

Yoon Shi-Yoon [aka Yoon Si-Yoon]...

I agree with many of the sentiments expressed already!

You will be missed dearly during these 2 years. I love watching you act and appreciate your constant dedication and commitment to each of your characters and each of the projects you've tackled.

You made Enrique one of my All-time Favorite Leading Men in Flower Boy Next Door. :)

Your kiss in Me Too, Flower! as Seo Jae-Hee with Lee Ji-Ah as Cha Bong-Sun is one of my All-time Favorites. :)

My admiration for you reached new heights after watching you in Barefoot Friends. You are a very inspirational person. Willingness to facing challenges head on: From conquering your fear of swimming in deep water; your thirst for knowledge; excitement about and interest in learning something new; and the lovely song you sang about your Granddad. You would be a a great person to travel with and a fun tour guide as well! :)

I watched Prime Minister & I only for you. Believe me, that I only stuck it out for you and only you as Kang In-Ho!!!!

I always wonder if its better to do it the Hyun Bin way with fan fare but sincere sentiments and appreciation for the support and love he got over the years. Or more like Yoo Seung-ho's way with a quiet enlistment so as to not deflect attention away from his peers. I think it depends on the person, and I admire both ways tbh.

Back to Yoon Shi-yoon, I can't believe he's going! He's so young looking I always forget he's actually older than LMH, Joo Won and Seung-gi. Gonna miss him loads, but time flies. He'll be back soon!

Oh noooo...I knew it's coming but not this soon! Booo..my baby YSY!!! Come back soon!

I was really hoping he will do another drama as lead before his enlistment...aaahh..sad!! Fighting YSY and stay safe!! You'll always have us fans waiting for your return!

I already knew he was different when all the articles I read about him were of his unique upbringing. He never failed to give thanks to his grandparents and how their guidance shaped him to be the person he is today. This new update just reinforces the respect I feel for the guy. Oh, Yoon Shi-yoon! I will remember you for your great chemistry with Hwang Jeong-eum hyung in High Kick 2 and your kilometric sentences in Flower Boy Next Door. Come back safe and sound!

NOOOOOOOOOO. Just when I started getting into him...NOOOOO. But I admire his humility so I can't wait to see him in 2016. Sheesh, that seems like ages from now. But I'm assuming it's early 2016...like February right? Marines are only 22 months right? Or did they make it 2 years for everyone?

And so the big drought begins... This year will be tough!

The Marines...that will put hair on his chest.

I think YSY has great depth of character. His most resent choices: the Marines, instead of an easier duty, and going quietly, instead of a self-aggrandizing send-off, reconfirm that his is not a vain and vapid pretty boy.

I have thought for a while that his face is similar to So Ji-sub's face. I hope his acting and career matures to So Ji-sub's level.

At any rate, I hope learns much and stays safe while his is serving his country.

2 years will fly by!
1986ers which means my two favorite oppas will soon be joining him. Yunho and Jaejoong.

I like him in Baker Kim Tak-gu and that's where I noticed Joo Won too.

sad faces all around.

i feel like he didn't make the best choices when choosing his projects - didn't watch me too flower, prime minister and i... BUT kim tak-gu and flower boy next door will forever have a special place in my heart.

will be waiting for you forever-baby-face yoon shi-yoon.

i was deffo thrown off when i found out. and kind of worried when i found out he chose the marines because i have always seen him as such a gentle guy. fighting. i'll miss you terribly :(

Enrique annyeong :(

oh dear, so many wonderful actors will be gone from drama land the next 2 years :'( :'(
i'll just have to rewatch their shows then

Awww, enrique! That will always be my favorite role of yours. Don't usually care if an actor chooses to do fan meet before going off to army or to enlist quietly, but what really made me proud was that you chose the more difficult route by choosing Marines. Good for you, cause now you have my respect.

It’s either gonna be a dry 2 years in dramaland or the rise of new stars. All the 86ers/87ers/88ers are planning on going to the army soon if they haven't already.
Next on list: Lee Min ho, Kim Soo Hyun, Jang Geun Suk, Kim Hyun Joong, Yoochun, Yoo Ah In, Lee Seung Gi, Jung il Woo, Choi Jin Hyuk

Some from this list i can live without, but most of these guys are the hottest stars of their generation. I can’t say i’m too excited with this news but it’ll be interesting how different things would be without these active actors in dramaland, some who like to do a drama a year. On the upside, every man comes back from the army with something new to offer -- acting-wise, experience, perhaps a revised look on life.

Current it boys Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jong Suk (both 24) will probably have a massive pile of dramas and projects to choose from now that their older sunbaes are leaving.
Song joong ki, yoo seung ho, ji hyun woo -- i’m still waiting for your return!

I'm going to miss him,he just has this calmness about him.
I wonder what would happen in S.korea when Lee seung gi or Lee min ho go in for their enlistment

Omg dont remind me ! Lee min jo is going too next year ! Im worried from nowwww ! Yoon oppa and alot others ! Oh I moss them so much !!!

what actor enlisted in musicals ?

I'll always remember him as enrique too...

Kke-geum~~
I'll miss him so much. One of very few actor i admire, both in acting and personality

He did it the right way.

Wow! That was a bit of a surprise. He's joining The Marines? Didn't he just learn how to swim last year on Barefoot Friends? I'm pretty sure he was sacred of water and heights and he overcame his fears on that show. That's a big jump from fear of water to now a Marine!

At the beginning of Prime Minister and I it looked like he had bulked up with muscle so maybe he was working out to get accepted into the Corps.

i can't believe he's almost the same age as choi jin hyuk???dude's so young looking!

i'll miss him! it's so nice to see him go quietly. such a humble man :))

Farewell YSY. You'll be missed.

As for him going quietly & all the praise for his choosing to do so as opposed to having a fan meeting and/or big send off, I think there are pros and cons to both ways but ultimately the individual should do whatever suits him.

There's nothing wrong with either way & as an outsider looking in, I have never understood why the ones that go quietly are praised to high heavens and by implication the ones who hold fanmeetings are denegrated a bit.

As a fan, I'd personally prefer to be able to say goodbye--the news that YSY quietly went away was a bit jarring. It seemed to come out of nowhere--even though we knew it would be coming eventually.

Either way, I wish him the best & I look forward to seeing his infectious, charming smile in the future.

I respect him so much for this!
