Korean actor On Ju-wan will be discharged from the military on Friday upon which he will complete South Korea's two-year mandatory military service.

"My time serving at the Ministry of National Defense was unlike any other experience that I have had and my time there was something different and very valuable," On was quoted as saying, adding that he hopes to become a better person and actor after his discharge.

"We have had many fans asking about On being discharged from the military," an official from his agency Yuleum Entertainment told 10Asia over the phone. "It won't be an official meeting but we plan on holding a small gathering that day for On to greet his fans and speak about his future plans."

On, 26, made his debut with an appearance in 2004 film "Flying Boys" and has since starred in other movies including "The Aggressives" (2005), "The City of Violence" (2006)" and "My Mighty Princess" (2008).

He has also had roles on the small screen in SBS' TV series "That Summer Typhoon" and season 1 of MBC's "Chosun Police."
