South Korean actor Yeo Jin-goo last appeared in a 2022 drama titled Link: Eat, Love, Kill. As per the recent statement from his representative, released on November 3, the actor is joining KATUSA (Korean Augmentation To the United States Army) starting next month.

The statement by his representative as reported by Chosun read:

"Yeo Jin-goo has been selected as a KATUSA and will serve for 1 year and 6 months starting from the 15th of next month."

It continued:

"As the training center entrance ceremony is an event where many soldiers and their families participate, the specific location and time of the entrance will not be disclosed. We ask for your support and encouragement until the day he returns after fulfilling his military duty with a matured appearance."

Yeo Jin-goo made his acting debut in the 2005 film Sad Movie, where he played the lead role.

Famous projects of Yeo Jin-goo

Over the years, Yeo Jin-goo has starred in a range of famous dramas that became hits worldwide. Some of these include Link: Eat, Love, Kill, starring Mun Ka Young alongside him, Beyond Evil, Hotel del Luna, and Circle. Talking about Hotel del Luna, he said in the GQ Magazine interview:

"It was a project which allowed me to praise myself. I received lots of love and praises, which made me realize that it’s okay to act according to what I wanted to show. It was so overwhelming at that time."

While the actor's last drama was released three years ago, he recently did a movie titled Hijack 1971, released last year. Some of his other movies released in recent years include Ditto, Ajoomma, and Noryang: Deadly Sea, where he appeared in a guest role.

The movie was loved by his fans, gaining a score of over 8.5 on MyDramaList. This year, he appeared in a TV show titled The Great Escape: The Story.

Speaking of how he joined this field, he reportedly told The Korea Times:

"I became an actor simply because I like acting. But since 'Hwayi,' I have been getting people's attention and higher expectations, which made me take a different perspective on acting because I started to think, 'I can't just like it but I have to do it well.' The thing I used to love became difficult"

As of now, Yeo Jin-goo has no upcoming projects lined up, as he prepares to begin his military service. Speaking about his return, Yeo shared a reported message to fans during his fan meeting tour, BLANKSPACE, held across Asia, which read:

"While I am temporarily away from you, I will return as a more solid and mature person. Please do not be too sad. I will come back on the day we meet again with a more wonderful appearance."
