“Crash Landing On You” Actor Abruptly Enlists In The Military With Zero Announcements

Fans were surprised after actor Lee Shin Young revealed that he had already enlisted in the military.

On August 6, the actor shared a handwritten message on his personal social media account, apologizing for the delayed announcement.

Lee Shin Young revealed that he recently completed his basic military training and is currently serving, but he did not share details about his exact enlistment date or military unit.

The actor explained that he had spent a lot of time thinking about when and how to announce his enlistment.

“Hello, this is Lee Shin Young.

I want to apologize for sharing this news a little later than I should have.

Even before enlisting, I spent a lot of time thinking about when and how would be the best way to tell you, but while I was at the training center, I wanted to focus on my military life as a soldier, so I wasn’t able to share the news beforehand.

I’m sorry to those who were surprised after suddenly hearing the news. I also feel bad thinking that I may have made you wait without saying anything. I am always grateful to everyone who continues to support me and remains by my side.

I will also do my best to stay healthy and fulfill my responsibilities in the position I have been given, and I will return safely.

On August 6, 2026, I was officially ordered to complete my training. I am always grateful, and I will greet you again with a healthy appearance.”
