Lee Jong Suk had completed his physical examination for the military, but was declared unfit to serve as an active duty soldier due to a previous knee injury.

According to YG Entertainment, Lee Jong Suk will most likely enlist as a social welfare worker when his enlistment date is confirmed.

“Currently, nothing else has been confirmed in regards to his military enlistment.”
