Came across the interesting story of how Jang Dong-yoon came to be an actor.
I have been curious about this since he debuted at 25 which is older than the average acting debut age. Turns out he wasn’t planning on acting, he graduated from university and even completed his military service (! I know, he has such a baby face and is so lanky this is hard to believe).
So back in 2015, he was in a convenience store one day and an armed robber broke in. He pretended to be on the phone with his friend and filed a police report. This witty solution got him on the news, and he got scouted by his current agency and debuted in 2016.
In short: we have a robber to thank for putting Dongyoon on our screens 😶
Thank goodness he was able to get out of that situation safely! What a story. Wow. Thanks for sharing! I’m not watching School atm, but I can tell he’s a star on the rise and someone to watch. I also think he looks like a young Lee Je-hoon.
Wow that’s crazy 😮 Luckily he thought fast and in a smart way. I knew is age but didn’t know he completed his military service. At least we won’t have to wait for him 🙂
So, what I got out of this was, “So, he won’t be breaking our hearts when he goes off to military service and we have to wait 2 years to see him in a kdrama?” ?
Yes XD That’s actually how I found this funny article, because I was googling for whether Ryu Junyeol had completed MS, which led me to a list of actors who had completed their military service prior to their acting career.
