Yang Se Jong enlisted in the military quietly on May 12. The actor entered his mandatory duty at the 27th Division located in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province, at 2 p.m. KST. He will be undergoing basic military training there before his designation to the division, where he will carry out the rest of his military service.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the actor decided to enlist without the press and to have any scheduled events. Nevertheless, he did take to his fan cafe the day to pen a heartfelt letter to his fans and expressed how he feels with regards to his quiet enlistment.
Yang Se Jong's full letter reads:
"Hello to all the people I love. This is Yang Se Jong. There is something I wanted to tell you regarding my enlistment.
As we are currently living in a time where we must all be careful about our health, I hope you will be okay with sending me away without physically being there. I understand you will want to come and say goodbye to me in person, but please don't. Though I'm sad that I won't be able to give you a proper farewell, I promise to be healthy and brave until I get discharged. Goodbye!
It is because of you and all your support and love that I've been able to work hard on my acting until now. I promise to greet you once again in good spirits. Please be healthy, while I am gone. Be healthy, be healthy, and be happy! Thank you so much!"
We can't wait to see Yang Se Jong again, and we wish him the best of luck!
