Actor Lee Jaewook will enlist as an active-duty soldier in the army on the 18th.

On the 4th, a representative from his agency Log Studio told SPOTV News, "Lee Jaewook will enlist as an active-duty soldier on the 18th."

After completing his basic military training, Lee Jaewook will be assigned to a unit and begin his service. His discharge is scheduled for mid-November 2027.

Born in 1998, Lee Jaewook had been planning his enlistment since last year. He completed filming for his upcoming projects while managing a tight schedule.

He is set to meet viewers through the new ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Doctor on the Edge,' premiering on June 1, and the Netflix series 'Dead-End Job,' which will be released in the second half of this year. With new projects released throughout the year, dans are expected to feel a shorter gap during his military service.

Meanwhile, Lee Jaewook debuted in 2018 with the tvN drama 'Memories of the Alhambra' and has since built his career as a leading actor through 'Search: WWW,' 'Extraordinary You,' 'Alchemy of Souls,' 'Dear Hongrang,' 'Last Summer,' and more.
