[08.11.24][news] How do stars handle life in the army? Disciplined vs laidback?



Even stars aren't exempted from serving their duties to the country. Once they hit the age that will require them to fulfil their responsibilities, they will have to enlist to the army after the medical check. Many stars have enlisted this year, leaving their fans who can't bear to let them go. Including Gong Yoo and Chun Jung Myung who enlisted in January, and Sung Shi Kyung who enlisted in August, there are approximately 20 stars currently serving in the army now.

Fans always break down in tears every time their idols leave, and photos of them at the training camp seem to be the best way to console these fans. Recently out of all the photos that have been released, there seems to be mainly two expressions: the disciplined and rigid look as opposed to a more laidback and cheerful look.


The Disciplined Type: Completely dedicated and loyal!



Some of the photos show the stars with rigid and stern expressions, and visibly more tanned from the time spent under the sun. Even so, these pictures still bring comfort to the fans. Examples would be Shinhwa member Eric, balladeer Sung Shi Kyung and actor Gong Yoo. The first to enlist out of all the Shinhwa members, the photo shows Eric at his most disciplined, shouting together with his platoon mates, albeit looking a little pale. Vastly differnt from the smiling face that fans often see on TV, fans are saddened and say, "Army life seems to be really difficult."
