[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Actor Seongjun has completed his military service and returned home.

On the 27th, Seongjun shared on his Instagram account, "Thanks to everyone's support, I safely completed my military service and have returned. Thank you to everyone who waited for me. I will come back with a better appearance in the future," expressing his feelings upon discharge.

Previously, on December 18, 2018, Seongjun enlisted in the 2nd Division Nodo Recruit Training Center in Gangwon Province and was fulfilling his duty as an active-duty soldier in the army.

However, he suddenly applied for a service status change in February and switched to a full-time reservist.

Regarding this, Seongjun's agency explained, "Before enlisting, he had a civilian girlfriend whom he promised to marry. As the enlistment date approached, a precious new life came between them, and they had no choice but to quickly proceed with the legal marriage procedures and hastily enlist in the military."

Seongjun stated, "I wanted to prioritize protecting the two precious people who came into my life. Therefore, I proceeded with the legal marriage procedures as quickly as possible, but I was unable to hold a wedding ceremony to personally greet many people."

He continued, "A year has already passed, and recently, worried about my wife having to endure everything alone without me, I applied for a service status change and started the remaining military service as a full-time reservist. As a still inexperienced head of the family, I wanted to protect my family a little closer, and through this, I wanted to honestly share my personal story, which was inevitably a bit delayed, with everyone."

Meanwhile, the day of Seongjun's discharge arrived. Having been on terminal leave since early this month, he was discharged on the 27th without returning to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Meanwhile, Seongjun debuted in the entertainment industry as a model and entered the acting world through KBS 2TV Drama Special 'White Christmas' in 2011.

Since then, he has appeared in 'Shut Up Flower Boy Band,' 'Can We Get Married,' 'Gu Family Book,' 'I Need Romance 3,' 'Discovery of Love,' and 'Mohito,' among others.
