Lee Jong Suk will not be serving as active duty but a social service agent, once he is called to enlist. Due to a serious traffic accident during his youth, he was declared unfit to serve otherwise.

“During middle school, Lee Jong Suk suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament from a serious traffic accident. He’s been assigned to serve as a social service agent since a long time ago.”

Lee Jong Suk’s new drama began airing on January 26, where he co-stars alongside actress Lee Na Young. Half of the drama was pre-filmed, which means that it will not conflict with Lee Jong Suk’s plans to enlist.
